First Appointment
Your first appointment will be longer than
subsequent visits. During your first appointment time will
be spent discussing your symptoms, medical history and finding
out about you. This may be followed by muscle and joint testing,
and/or postural assessment.
Many painful conditions have a postural
origin and simply observing how you stand and move is very
relevant to how you can be helped.
The next stage is to bring all the information
together and discuss with you what the examination has revealed,
suggest reasons for the symptoms and then decide on the best
treatment approach.
For postural assessment you will be asked
to remove outer layers of clothing. During treatment you will
be covered by towels.
Cranial Appointments
You will not normally be asked to remove
clothing, except for shoes. Soft loose clothing is best. Support
garments should not be worn unless medically necessary.
Expect your first appointment to take about
one hour. Subsequent visits may be 30 minutes or one hour
depending on your response to treatment.
After Treatment - the therapeutic effects
continue after treatment as the body responds to change at
its own pace. On the evening after treatment be guided
by how you feel. If you feel like resting, then rest.
If you feel like being active, be active. Just don't
force yourself to do anything that you don't feel like doing.
