What happens during your session?
I will begin the session by discussing what brought you in, any issues you might have had in the past, and anything you believe I should know about. I will then carry out an assessment checking your posture, flexibility, range of movement, and any areas of pain or discomfort. Once I have carried out a complete and thorough examination, I will recommend a plan of action. If you agree, I will then proceed with your treatment. If any form of taping benefits your recovery, I will apply it at the end of your treatment session. There may also be exercises recommended for you to do at home to help strengthen any weaknesses and help speed up recovery.
