what to expect on your first visit
Once you arrive for your first appointment, we will ask that you fill out a confidential medical health history and consent form, in order to better treat you specifically based on your body and its needs. Once your practitioner has reviewed the forms with you in a patient interview and been through a complete review of systems, the assessment and treatment may begin. In a treatment, we ask that you wear loose and flexible clothing and remove shoes, belts and any items from your pockets. Your practitioner will be both assessing and treating throughout the treatment through gentle, safe and rhythmical motions. The treatment typically lasts between 30 to 40 minutes. Your practitioner will then offer a treatment plan after the treatment and advise when and how often you should be getting treatment based on their findings, and may also give remedial exercise for in between treatments.
subsequent visits
Follow up visits will be 15-20 minutes shorter than initial visits, and shouldn’t require any paperwork or as thorough an interview. The practitioner will typically ask for an update on any changes to health as well as the reaction to the previous treatment. The treatment will last between 20-30 minutes and as the subsequent visits go on, may become more tailored to what the cause of the pain or problem is, becoming more focal, deeper or specific.
