Your initial consultation takes 90 minutes, and in that time we’ll be covering a lot of ground, so come dressed for comfort.
We’ll start with a detailed questionnaire covering your medical history, lifestyle and the events which have bought you to our clinic. This enables us to custom design a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
From here, we will conduct a physical assessment – this is where those comfy clothes come in handy. In most cases, we will need to make a visual assessment of your area of concern, so we recommend layers and loose clothing or gym wear. We will also assess your breathing technique; correct technique is vital to helping you heal.
We may make some minor physical adjustments if indicated, and we will work through a series of movements and exercises. We'll record these to aid your at-home work, and this will come with a detailed exercise regime for you to keep up between sessions.
And of course, you can ask us any questions as they come up throughout the session.
