So you decide to make the decision of coming to see us, this is what happens in your first session.
In your first session your clinician will greet you and begin by asking what brings you to the clinic. From here you will begin to go through a detailed case history which doesn't really take long, but is essential to see what we are dealing with. Once your clinician has taken enough details they will then carry out an examination in all cases, to make sure your symptoms match with any clinical signs that they can use to isolate the cause of the problem.
Before getting on with treatment the clinician will then explain in terms you can understand what the cause of the problem is.
After the examination and reporting process is complete your clinician will carry out treatment to make sure you receive the full service.
Ideally you should come with suitable clothing and shoes you wear so that an accurate diagnosis of the problem can be made. Usually sports wear such as a pair of shorts and a vest or sports bra are suitable. We want you to feel comfortable, this is a priority. If you'd like to bring someone along such as a chaperone then thats fine too. We are very friendly but we understand that it can be a bit nerve racking going to your first appointment.
