What do I need to bring?
As we need to be able to see your body move for the assessment and treatment, it is best to wear comfortable clothing such as shorts, sports bra, tank top. If you are not able to bring your own clothing with you, we can provide you with shorts and/or a gown.
Although not essential for your session, please bring along any scans or medical reports (e.g MRIs, x-ray, blood tests) you have had done in the past. This can help us get a more detailed view of your body.
How long is each session?
Your first session as a new patient will be 60 minutes, as it includes a lot more assessment. Follow-up sessions are usually between 30 to 60 minutes depending on your condition. Your practitioner will decide how much time is best suited.
Can I get treatment if I am pregnant?
Yes of course. We treat a variety of pregnany-related issues. It is recommended to seek treatment after your first trimester.
What to expect as a new patient?
Your first session will focus on finding out what is going on and you understand it. A detailed history will include questions regarding your health, lifestyle and goals in order to get a good overall picture of you.During the physical assessment your therapist will assess your muscles, joints and surrounding structures and how they move. The findings will be discussed with you along with your treatment plan. Then dependant on the findings and your goals, your therapist will do some hands-on therapy and/or rehabilitative exercises. Lastly your therapist may give you some exercises to do at home and go through how to manage at home.

How many sessions will I need?
This is difficult to answer, as each case is different. Certain problems can be solved in a couple of sessions, others involving rehabilitation or more complex/chronic conditions may require more sessions over a longer period of time. Your practitioner will be able to give you a better idea after they have completed your case history and assessment. No matter the problem, you will leave the first session having a plan and a much better understanding of what is going on, and what needs to be done.
