Musculoskeletal therapy addresses acute or chronic pain, movement and physical impairments resulting from injury, trauma or illness typically of musculoskeletal or neurological origins. It is used to improve a patients physical function through examination, identification, prognosis, patient education and rehabilitation.
This multi faceted therapy addresses the dysfunction or injuries that limit a persons ability to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives.

Sessions will generally include an appropriate combination of manual therapy, manipulation, mobilisation techniques, fascial work, trigger point therapy, specific stretches and exercises.

1st APPOINTMENT – WHAT TO EXPECT?

On your first visit to the clinic you will be required to fill out a confidential patient questionnaire. As well as helping with assessment, this will provide information relating to GP or specialist appointments attended. A list of medical conditions and prescribed drugs will be noted on the questionnaire, helping ensure that the appropriate form of therapy is provided. Once completed, further questions will be asked to help determine “primary pathology”, ie what is actually going wrong to cause the pain, weakness or lack of motion. The term “secondary pathology” relates to how you feel, what hurts, what lacks motion, what lacks sensation etc… “All of these symptoms let you know something is wrong, but not what has gone wrong. My job is to determine primary pathology and get to the root cause of your problem.”

Following on from our conversation a thorough examination will be performed in relation to your presenting symptoms. This information allows us to discuss what I’ve found and go over an appropriate way to move forwards.
