WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR FIRST VISIT
Firstly, I should mention that you do not need a referral to come to the clinic. However, you are welcome to bring any X-rays, scans or referrals you may already have.
Initial appointment sessions are 30-45 minutes long. Please arrive 5 minutes prior to your appointment to complete some paperwork.
The appointment will begin with me asking you about your current condition, past medical history, family history as well as any other relevant information that may help me to diagnose your complaint.
THIS WILL THEN BE FOLLOWED BY AN EXAMINATION WHICH MAY INCLUDE:
Static and motion palpation

Orthopaedic & Neurological testing

Muscle strength / length assessment

Exercise and nutritional advice
POST-EXAMINATION
Once the examination and diagnosis is complete, I will explain the diagnosis I have given you and explain how we will move forward in terms of treatment. This is important as it provides you with an understanding of how your condition came about and how we can prevent this in future. Your treatment plan will be personalised to your specific needs and diagnosis. If further investigation is required, I may refer you for an MRI, CT scan, an ultrasound or an X-ray.
