Our reception staff will be able to assist if you have any concerns when making a booking.

The initial consultation will include taking a thorough history pertaining to your problem followed by a comprehensive physical examination.

Your problem will then be discussed with you in terms that you understand with plenty of opportunity to ask questions. A collaborative treatment program will be worked out with you so you are in no doubt as to what to expect during your recovery. Your treatment will commence during the initial consultation using physical therapies such as joint mobilisation or manipulation, soft tissue massage or acupuncture. You may also be required to undertake a structured exercise program as part of your recovery. Our clinic encourages a hands on approach to your management.
