Assessment and Treatment options
After a thorough assessment taking time to listen to your problems and asking questions I will move onto a physical examination. From this together we will formulate a treatment plan. Treatments will vary depending on what is needed and this will be discussed and agreed with you.
I aim to settle your pain and symptoms as quickly as possible. This usually is relatively easy to do and where most practitioners stop. However, I like to go one step further by adding exercises and advice into your program to ensure your symptoms do not return or end up moving the problem elsewhere. I do this using a variety of techniques tailored to your needs. These may include; manual therapy, soft tissue work, correcting biomechanics, gait (walking) re-education, postural re-education, exercise therapy, pilates-based exercises, workstation advice, acute management advice, core strengthening, neural mobilisation, balance and proprioception work.
