When you arrive at the clinic we begin by taking a detailed history of your current complaint. We ask a lot of questions relating to the problem and also ask about your past medical history, any medications that you take, and questions about your lifestyle. It is important to ask these questions as the answers you give will be relevant to your treatment. The answers form the basis of the objective examination. This is when we observe your posture and watch you moving.
We carry out a number of tests on your joints, nerve pathways and also palpate or "feel" joint and muscle movement.
The results of all these activities, together with the answers given in the first part of the assessment will help make a diagnosis. Often, the underlying cause may be some distance from where you actually feel the pain. This is because pain often refers to different areas of the body.
Having a comprehensive understanding of anatomy, physiology and pathology, chartered physiotherapists are able to make an accurate diagnosis and offer appropriate treatment.
You are given a full explanation of our findings and you are offered an opportunity to ask questions relating to your condition. Advice is given regarding the management of the problem and gives you an idea of the likely outcome following treatment. If physiotherapy is not indicated, then we may refer you back to your GP or to a specialist for further investigations.
Only after a full assessment, and with your consent, will treatment begin.
