Detailed History Taking.
It is routine for our therapists to have a detailed interview regarding your medical and/or injury history. This helps us better understand your problem and create tailored solutions.
Objective Physical Assessment.
We use a variety of clinical tests to get to the bottom of your complaint. Often we will take measurements to track your progress.
