Our Physio will firstly ask you detailed questions about your pain. When it started, how it changed, how bad is it, and much more. The better you can explain what you’re feeling, the better we can pinpoint the problem. After this discussion we will have 3 possible theories…

Your Physio will analyze movements, stress certain structures, press, touch & feel the tissue, and you can demonstrate what movement makes the pain worse. We’ll test the muscles, joints, nerves, ligaments and tendons in the area surrounding your pain to get a better understanding what structure is causing the pain. Our goal is to reproduce the same pain you feel – to zone in on the problem. Previous sonars, X-rays, MRIs, CT scans are helpful to review what state the tissue is in, so bring them along.

Then we’ll confirm our diagnosis. Whether it be a pinched nerve, torn muscle, sprained ligament, or fractured bone. Our Physios will even show you different positions that brings on the pain and WHY it makes your pain worse. Identifying the problem and giving it a name is very crucial.

During the assessment process we explain the results of the tests we are performing, so that you get the play by play feedback what we’re thinking. We spend a great deal of time explaining what the condition or problem is all about. This includes some medical jargon that might be a bit intimidating, but we’ll break it up into small bite size pieces you can digest. It’s more important that you understand what’s going on, or ‘wrong’ in your body than just pitching up for treatment.

Then we’ll discuss the ‘Prognosis’ – how long it’s expected to take, to heal the tissue and get you back to life. Recovery time for each condition is different and depends on a lot of factors like: Your age, how severely the tissue is damaged or how long the pain has been there… and so much more.

Some conditions we’ll fix in a few session, some cases may take 6 – 8 weeks. Planning the way forward is necessary so that you understand what we need and you’re prepared. This is to tailor our treatment program according to your needs & goals.

We’ll treat the tissue according to what’s necessary for repair. Physiotherapist use their hands, machines, movements, and many other types of treatment to repair soft tissue. Treatment is to bring on a physiological change to your tissue – on a cellular level.

Our physios will give you instructions to follow and warn you of dangers that might have caused the problem. We’ll ask you to do some movement exercises at home that can help the healing process progress even faster.
