What can you expect from your appointment?
We will initially take a detailed case history, followed by a clinical assessment. Shorts or a vest top may be required for this, to allow a full examination of the region to take place.
Based on our findings, we will discuss with you a management plan specific to your needs. Treatment and rehabilitation will be advised as appropriate, and you may require follow-up appointments to further your recovery. Each appointment is scheduled for 1 hour.
