What to Expect
At your first visit, you'll be greeted by one of our friendly receptionists who will guide you through the intake process. You'll be asked to complete a detailed questionnaire and discuss your medical history, presenting symptoms, and any treatments you've received in the past. Our therapists will then conduct a thorough examination, which may involve removing some outer clothing, to assess the affected body part and establish the range and quality of movement. Other parts of the body may also be examined to understand the entire picture of your health.
