In Your Appointment

Subjective assessment will include questions to determine:

• The history of the complaint.
• The intensity, nature and area of pain.
• The medical history to rule out pathology and investigations completed.

Objective assessment:

• Range of motion testing
• Muscle imbalance testing
• Flexibility
• Core strength
• Functional mobility
• Postural analysis in sitting, standing and functionally
• Palpation of ligaments, tendons, joints, neural systems, muscles and fascia.

Analysis:

• In conjunction with co-operation with other team members i.e. the doctor or coach the physiotherapist forms a construct as to the injury and the underlying reason for the above

Plan:

• The physiotherapist then discusses the plan with the patient to determine
• The number of sessions required
• The rehab required
• Return to sport/work predicted level.

We encourage patients to bring shorts, suitable clothes and trainers when appropriate.
