I believe in treating the person, not just masking your pain, so in our first session, expect us to get deep into your medical history, previous injuries, and lifestyle factors that will influence your overall health. These include eating habits, sleep hygiene, stress management, proper nutrition, exercise routines, etc., before moving on to the physical assessment.
The physical assessment will cover your whole body, as well as joints and regions that are connected to your area of concern, as our body is connected and works in conjunction to allow us to do the amazing things we are capable of.
That is where collaboration with other healthcare practitioners becomes indispensable, as certain disciplines and medical techniques are better suited to treating specific diagnoses. I am a firm believer in a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, as no practitioner can perform miracles.
