On your first visit, we will discuss your current problem and how it is affecting your life, your previous injuries, general medical health and your physical goals. Next, a physical assessment will be carried out to establish what structures are causing you pain and what underlying factors are contributing to your problem, such as as weakness or biomechanics issues.
