In your first session we will discuss your health history in general and the history of the symptoms and concerns that you wish to alleviate. All information is held securely and in compliance with GDPR. No information is divulged to any other party, unless you request that, for example, something is raised with your GP.
We will then agree on the next steps, which will likely include some of the following:
a series of standard tests, for example to test mobility, movements that increase or decrease pain, strength
examination of the troublesome areas and other areas which may be referring to pain to these areas
a review of some aspects of posture
We will then agree on a treatment plan. This might include:
a range of massage and soft tissue release techniques
gentle assisted movement techniques (gentle - no sudden, forceful manipulations)
specific movements or exercises
after care advice - realistic things you can do to help
a timescale for further sessions
It is my aim to enable you to manage your body successfully, seeing me occasionally and eventually not at all!
