Do you know what to expect before you attend your first appointment, whether it is with a doctor, a physio, or any other healthcare professional?
I want you to have a stress-free experience when visiting my clinic for the very first time. Over years of helping people, I have come to learn that there are key questions everybody wants answering during their first appointment.
What have I injured?
What caused it to happen?
How long will it take to recover?
Will I need to come more than once?
How much will it cost?
To ensure all these key questions are answered, all initial consultations take up to 1 hour. It takes time to fully explore your history and movement habits, I want to give you an accurate diagnosis and recovery plan.
YOUR INITIAL CONSULTATION INCLUDES:
Taking a comprehensive history of what's happened and any previous relevant medical history.
A thorough examination - to reach a diagnosis and identify those tissues that need addressing.
An explanation of why you are not feeling and functioning at 100%.
A realistic explanation of how long your recovery may take.
An outline of the journey to recover and reach your goals - including an estimate of the number of appointments and cost.
Agree on a Treatment Plan (how many appointments will be needed).
Start some physical treatment to give some immediate pain-relief (massage, acupuncture, etc.).
Coach you on the first steps of a home exercise program to help you immediately begin to make progress.
