An assessment is performed to see what your limitations and restrictions are as well as notifying your health and strength.
Treatment is carried out based on findings during the assessment.
We will discuss the ‘working diagnosis’ of your injury – what is wrong, why it is and how we can improve your current situation.
Movements or exercises may be prescribed to get long-term results from home.
