Your initial appointment approximately takes 90 minutes which allows time for a comprehensive assessment and initial treatment.

When you see the practitioner they will initially ask you a variety of questions regarding:

• Your symptoms, lifestyle, health, and work

• When and how the problem started

• What makes it better or worse

• What it prevents you doing and how that impacts on your life

• Your expectations of therapy and rehabilitation.

The therapist will then examine you. This may not be confined to the area of pain or injury but may include other areas that are causing or contributing to the problem. For instance the neck can cause pain in the hand. The therapist will explain what they are doing and ask you how it feels as they perform different tests.

Rest assured that therapists are not here to make your problem more painful! Our examination will take into consideration your level of pain and the techniques and tests used will be adjusted accordingly.

Understanding Your Assessment

At the end of your initial assessment we will discuss our diagnosis and your treatment plan.

We then begin the treatment plan which may include therapy for pain relief, increasing movement, relaxing muscles, providing rehabilitation aids and exercises.

We believe that if you understand your problem and its causes then you can contribute more effectively to your own recovery.
