- What is a good result for you?

Why Assess (and Treat) ‘Anything Blocking’ Progress?
Did you know that your nerves need to glide for optimal function?
Nerves not sliding can be the first barrier towards progress. Fixing nerve gliding is the first step to achieving your good result.
At this stage we are also looking for red flags. These are signs and symptoms of a more serious condition that may need to be explored further.
How can we measure if your condition is improving?
Our hands on physiotherapy method allows us to use key movement tests, along with photos and videos of before and after’s. We plot these changes to your key movement tests on a progress graph.
Why a Whole-body Assessment?
We don’t want to miss anything that may be the underlying cause of your condition.
Why Trial Treatments?
Our hands on physiotherapy systematic approach of testing which of the dysfunctions identified in the whole body assessment are part of your problem. We aim to narrow down to find your key structure/area that produces the greatest change.
This is known as the PCF – Primary Contributing Factor
Why a Whole-body Re-Assessment?
This is to confirm that we have found the primary cause of the condition and we are also addressing any secondary contributors.
Why More Treatment & Behavioural Change + Exercise?
We treat the PCF to an optimal state to achieve your good result. We also investigate why this primary structure is under load and dysfunctional. Following this we develop strategies to minimize load on the structure, strengthen and improve your posture and function.
