What You Can Expect:
Individualized Care Tailored to You
Initial Consultation
Case history
During your initial consultation, we will sit down and take the time to thoroughly understand what has brought you into clinic. This includes discussing your medical history, lifestyle, and any past injuries or treatments that are relevant. It is also an opportunity to reflect on any movements that have caused you discomfort or if there are recurring aches and pains.
Examination
Based on your case history, a physical examination will be conducted to identify areas of dysfunction and tissue stress. This may include an orthopaedic evaluation to assess joint health and muscle function, a neurological assessment to examine nerve health, a chiropractic evaluation to identify spinal restrictions, and a functional assessment to evaluate your movement capacity. Together, these assessments offer an initial insight into how your body is functioning.
During this examination you will generally never be asked to take off any item of clothing except footwear. It is, however, preferable to wear something light.
Discussion
Following your examination, we will discuss the findings together. This is an opportunity for you to gain a clear understanding of the underlying issues, ask any questions, and for us to create a plan that works for you. Occasionally the examination reveals something that requires further examination and you may be referred to your GP for tests. Should it be appropriate, an initial treatment may be given on the day of the consultation.
Treatment Sessions
From the insights gained from your examination, a combination of treatment strategies including chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitative exercises will be given. Together, these techniques work to address injured areas, functional movement and stability.
Functional Assessment at Every Visit
Each treatment session begins with a functional assessment. The findings of this assessment tell us how well your body responded to the previous treatment given. This is an opportunity to reassess, refine, and build upon what was previously achieved.
Troubleshooting - Evolve and Adapt
As your sessions progress you should feel greater movement and strength. However, it is not uncommon for a different area of the body to become symptomatic or for some imbalances to remain stubborn. During these occasions the focus of the treatment may shift to different functional units, and specific exercises may be prescribed. This adaptable approach ensures that treatments constantly evolve and adapt as your body strengthens
Empowering you with knowledge
One of the most powerful aspects of assessing how well the body is working is its ability to uncover areas of weakness you may not have realized existed. This approach does not just treat your pain—it equips you with the tools to understand where your body needs support. This knowledge is empowering. It helps you to understand the movement patterns, exercises, or treatment strategies that are most relevant to you. Once discovered, you can make better decisions about your posture, daily habits, and activities.
