You can expect

A detailed, confidential assessment discussion to gather the facts about your problem area, previous injuries, your medical history and any medications.
You can ask questions, discuss your concerns and feel included throughout the process.
A Physical examination - A practical based assessment including posture, simple movements, looking at muscles, bones, nerves, connective tissues and how they relate to each other and your symptoms, job, lifestyle and daily activities. A hands-on examination to gently feel for tenderness, restrictions and physical changes.
A clear explanation of how the findings relate to your symptoms, causes, what treatments, exercises and advice may be needed to support your healing process and how you can help yourself. Evaluation, progression and review at each subsequent session designed especially for you.
Treatment such as gentle joint articulation, soft tissue massage, gentle stretches, exercises, delicate connective tissue work, and sometimes Laser or Ultrasound therapy, may be suggested. The aim is to ease underlying causes to relieve pain and encourage harmonious movement to be restored.

It is important to feel relaxed during your session. Some people are happy to undress down to their underwear, others prefer to wear a vest or shorts - wear something you are comfortable in.
Please bring your diary to make follow-up appointments and turn off your mobile phone if you bring it with you.
Bring sports or other shoes with you if relevant, and copies of any relevant test results, X-ray reports, scans and letters can be helpful to add to your file if you have them.
