During your first visit, I'll take a detailed case history covering your current concerns and overall health background. We'll discuss your work, sleep, stress, diet, values, and beliefs. This thorough approach helps me create a personalised treatment plan and determine if you need additional medical support. Keep in mind that I may not always provide hands-on treatment in the first consultation—this depends on your condition's complexity and what current evidence suggests would be most effective.

The examination includes observing your movements, performing hands-on assessment with guided movements based on your history, and conducting clinical tests when needed (neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, or orthopedic). These tests may briefly reproduce your symptoms to help form a working diagnosis. I'll explain everything beforehand and ensure your comfort throughout.

After the examination, I'll share my findings and explain your working diagnosis, including potential underlying causes. Together, we'll review treatment options, discussing benefits, risks, and alternatives. I'll provide clear information to help you make informed decisions about your care. Through collaborative planning, we'll create an evidence-informed treatment approach that addresses the key factors affecting your condition while aligning with your personal goals and values.

Follow-up appointments focus on reviewing progress and adjusting care as needed. These sessions blend hands-on treatment with rehab exercises, personalised advice and educational support. If your specific condition requires a course of treatment, you may need several appointments scheduled closer together initially to make progress before spacing them out. I will never ask you to pay upfront for multiple sessions.

Your comfort and dignity are my top priorities. While athletic wear or form-fitting shorts make examination and treatment easier, I respect all cultural, religious, and personal preferences regarding modesty and will adapt my examination and treatment techniques to work effectively while you remain fully clothed. If you have any medical devices such as stoma bags or central ports we can work around them and find the most comfortable position for you to have treatment in.
