Is your condition or injury not listed? 

It is still very likely I can help you if you're in pain and wanting to improve your quality of life and exercise capacity.

Get in touch if you're unsure. We can talk it out before you choose to book a session.

You can choose to book your first session in person or online via Telehealth, and you’re welcome to change it to either on the day.

Your first session is about me getting to know you, first and foremost, since you are the one experiencing your condition, pain or injury.

We’ll start by having a conversation

The condition, pain or injury

• When and how it started
• The history of the condition if you’ve had it for a while
• What it’s currently stopping you from doing
• The movements or activities you’re finding challenging
• Your current exercise levels
• If it’s impacting other areas of your life such as your mental health, sleep or work

How your pain “behaves”

• What movements make it worse or better
• How it feels throughout the day or during different activities,
• If it’s impacting your sleep
• How medications are working for you (if any)

Your goals, both short and long-term

• What you’re wanting out of this first session
• Your goals for movement long-term

Plus any other relevant pieces like your past medical history, what you do for work, etc.

This first part is important for informing how I choose to assess the body area, as well deciding what treatment plan I feel will be best to offer you (we collaborate on this).

Next, we move on to assessing movement and physical structures of the body

This may include:

• Assessment of relevant movements such as walking, a squat, bending forwards, and arm or neck movements
• Strength and range of motion assessments
• Specific Physiotherapy tests that provide information about certain structures
• Palpation (a fancy word for “feeling”) the body area, including the relevant muscles, tendons, bones, ligaments and joint capsule

Lastly, starting treatment

Treatment is tailored to your condition or injury, your goals, and most importantly, you. This means we collaborate on the best path forward that aligns with the best available research, what I know from clinical experience, and what you feel will fit in best with your life.

Treatments will be a combination of any of the following:

• Manual therapy such as remedial massage and joint mobilisation
• Exercise rehabilitation which could be stretches, mobility-focuses, strength-based with weight, or Pilates-style exercises
• A personalised home exercise program on an easy-to-use app
• Education and empowerment around pain, the condition you have, prognosis, and any other relevant pieces
• Conversation around mental wellness and mindset

Education and Empowerment
My goal with treatment is always for you to end up no longer needing to see me anymore

In-between sessions

My clients are always on my mind. This means you can expect follow-up texts or emails between sessions, particularly if I’m not seeing you for a little while.

Throughout our journey together I am also always available if you have any questions about your home program, treatment, or anything new that comes up for you. This could be in the form of a phone call, text, email, or even a message on Instagram. I am here for you! This is all included for no additional cost.
