We Recommend sports wear for these sessions & you maybe asked to remover socks and shoes in these sessions.
The therapist will work closely with you to assess your condition, develop a rehabilitation plan, and guide you through the process of regaining your physical abilities and returning to your sport or daily activity safely.
Initial consultation: What to expect
During your initial consultation , you can expect a thorough examination of your injury or pain complaint. The therapist will assess your range of motion, muscle strength, and any areas of tenderness or inflammation to identify the underlying cause of your discomfort. They may also ask you questions about your medical history and perform specific tests to gather more information.
Depending of the area of discomfort you may be asked to remove certain items of clothing, so we always recommend shorts and t shirt a bra/sports bra for women if needing to look at upper body issues.
Based on the assessment findings, the therapist will recommend a treatment plan, and discuss the expected outcomes to help guide your recovery process.
