We will give you a clear diagnosis and aim to find the underlying cause of your pain. We do this by:

Listening - many people know a great deal about their own body

Asking questions - the relevance of some questions will be obvious, others we explain

Observing the way that you move, your natural posture, specific joints and muscles in action, the contours of the area affected

Testing the stability of joints, the strength of muscles, skin and joint sensation and reflexes

Palpating - we note how the muscles, soft tissues, ligaments and joints 'feel'

***

Diagnosis: At the completion of our assessment we will take time to explain our findings to you and you will be given a specific diagnosis

If you need treatment: We will explain what treatment will best suit you and if you would like to be treated we will do this in the same session.
