Question 1

What do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

As we need to be able to see your body move for the assessment and treatment, it is best to wear comfortable clothing such as shorts, sports bra, tank top. If you are not able to bring your own clothing with you, we can provide you with shorts and/or a gown. Although not essential for your session, please bring along any scans or medical reports (e.g MRIs, x-ray, blood tests) you have had done in the past. This can help us get a more detailed view of your body.

Question 2

How long is each session?

Accepted Answer

Your first session as a new patient will be 60 minutes, as it includes a lot more assessment. Follow-up sessions are usually between 30 to 60 minutes depending on your condition. Your practitioner will decide how much time is best suited.

Question 3

Can I get treatment if I'm Pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes of course. We treat a variety of pregnany-related issues. It is recommended to seek treatment after your first trimester.

Question 4

What to expect as a new patient?

Accepted Answer

Your first session will include case history, assessment, advice and treatment. Case history will involve your practitioner asking questions regarding your body, health and lifestyle in order to get a good overall picture of you. During the physical assessment and evaluation your practitioner will assess your muscles, joints and surrounding structures and how they move. Treatment will involve a range of different hands-on techniques, often including different relevant modalities and exercises (for more details on what we do, click here).

This is difficult to answer, as each case is different.
