On your first visit, our health professionals will need to complete a specific assessment of your problems. This will normally include the therapist asking detailed questions about your problems and how your lifestyle is affected. Our aim is to locate the source of your problem and how your injury/ condition are effecting your day to day functionally or in relation to your sport. We will try to establish what you want the therapy to achieve. To do this the therapist will need to check you physically, looking for specific movement issues to make a proper professional assessment of your problems. Only then can they formulate an appropriate treatment plan, specifically developed for you. This will normally include exposing the injured part of your body.

Some of the treatments suggested for your rehabilitation may also involve physical manual handling techniques, for example, soft tissue release or mobilizations to help loosen stiff joints or tight muscles. If you prefer to have a same-sex therapist kindly inform the front desk staff BEFORE your initial appointment and we will try our best to accommodate your request. If it is not possible to fulfill this request, you may wish to bring a friend or family member to be with you during the assessment process.

You may prefer to wear loose comfortable clothing for your appointment however; shorts and gowns are available at our centres. It is normally advisable to bring a comfortable pair of good sports shoes for any exercise sessions.
