At your first appointment

At your first appointment, I will talk to you about your issue and where you think it came from. From there, I will help you through a series of functional movements used to identify imbalances and weaknesses, that could be the cause or result of your trouble. You may be surprised!
After this initial screening, I will talk you through what they reveal and we will use those findings to point us in the direction your treatment should take. From there I will talk to you about a plan to help alleviate the problem and the rationale for pursuing this course of action. After your treatment, I will give you a plan to take home, with exercises and stretches to help you take control of your problem.
Any problem by a sport, work accident etc.

we welcome the chance to serve you.
