Your initial consultation may take up to an hour, during which we conduct a detailed health screen, and evaluate your posture, body movement and tissue health.
This assessment enables us to formulate a specific diagnosis. In most cases, we then proceed to implement a treatment plan tailored to you. Occasionally however, we may need to refer you for further investigations (e.g. X-ray, MRI scan or blood test) before treatment can proceed.
Both the consultation and subsequent treatments (which may take up to 30 minutes), draw on a range of approaches including soft-tissue therapy, neuro-muscular techniques, joint mobilisation and manipulation, acupuncture / trigger point therapy, exercise and diet prescription.
Patients will usually experience symptom relief after just a couple of treatments; in more chronic conditions, a longer course of treatment may be required.
