What you can expect
Your initial appointment
Please wear or bring suitable clothing to enable examination and treatment. - e.g. T-shirt and shorts are suitable for a back or knee problem.
On arrival you will fill in a detailed form including your personal details such as name & address as well as a brief but relevant medical health questionnaire.
Your therapist will greet and take you to one of our four private consulting rooms where they will begin by taking a full history of your injury, a history of other injuries and problems, general health etc.
We will undertake a complete examination of the problem area and all other areas that may be related. This ensures that all bio mechanical dysfunctions that are contributing to the problem are dealt with.Your problem will be explained to you and an initial diagnosis made. We will then discuss treatment options which may include other members of the team. This ensures that you receive the best possible treatment for your injury and that you do not have reoccurring problems. Finally an estimate will be made regards the time and number of treatments it may take to get you back to full fitness and pain free.
If there is still time at your initial appointment we will do our best to provide some treatment. It may be that you will need to return for a follow-up appointment to continue the course of treatment.
