Preparing for your Physio assessment

You can have the assessment done in the comfort of your own home, or you can arrange to have it done at Heron Creek in our private Personal Training room at no additional cost. If you are doing it at home, read both sections below. If you are doing it at Heron Creek, talk to our reception staff to arrange the appointment first! Then, on the day of the assessment, review the second section below and show up a few minutes early. That's it!

Setting up at home for the assessment

Skip this section if you are doing the assessment at Heron Creek.

Technology

Device: Get a desktop computer, tablet, laptop or smartphone with a functioning camera and microphone.

Tripod or stand: If using a phone, set it up on a tripod or stable surface to provide a clear view of your body during exercises and assessments.

Internet Connection: Check that you have a stable and high-speed internet connection to avoid disruptions during the session.

Location

Well-Lit Room: Choose a well-lit space to enhance visibility. Natural light is ideal, but if that’s not available, use lamps or overhead lights to create good lighting.

Quiet Environment: Find a quiet place with minimal distractions. Inform family members or housemates about your appointment time to avoid interruptions.

On the day of the appointment

This section is important regardless of where you are doing the assessment.
