For new patients the initial evaluation starts with a full-body biomechanical assessment. It covers a thorough history of your injury, testing of all involved structures to determine the true cause of the issue, and formation of a comprehensive and specific plan of care. This is followed by manual techniques and corrective exercises to begin the healing process. Evaluation will finish with creation of a Home Exercise Program (HEP) for the client to perform when not in the clinic.
