First of all, we listen to you. We need to know as much as we can about you to get a good idea about your overall health and previous experiences with pain or injury. Some questions might seem irrelevant to your presenting complaint, but you will be surprised how other illnesses or medications can alter your recovery or treatment plan. 

We learn about your hobbies and the things you enjoy doing, so that we can make sure we understand where you need to be and what your goals are. This allows us to create a treatment plan that suits you. 

We examine you to check your nerves, muscles and joint and we watch you move to see how easy or difficult you find certain movements or activities. 

Then we can decide how we are going to help you, how long this might take and more importantly, how you can help yourself when we are not around. 

You will usually receive treatment on the first visit.

If we cannot help you, we will refer you back to your GP or onto someone else who may be better equipped to deal with your problems.
