‣ Previous problems, treatment or tests to date.

‣ If you are new to this Clinic, or the problem is new, you can fill out this form to save time.

- It works best to download the file.

◆ Physical exam:

‣ You will be asked to do some movements/tests to further assess the problem.

‣ We will test range of motion and estimate strength.
‣ Depending on the location of the injury, you may be asked to perform some special or specific tests.
‣ Some tests may require someone else to assist.​

◆ Other Details:

‣ We will determine any need for other information, imaging, medical intervention.

◆ Diagnosis:

‣ We will be determined as best as possible the nature and cause of your problem.

‣ In most cases, we will be able to determine the cause and type of problem you have. However, not being able to physically test the injury may limit a diagnosis.
‣ Often, a lot can be determined by how the problem reacts to the exercises and treatment given. Therefore, it is important to monitor them for positive as well as negative changes in your condition. 

​

A treatment plan will be set up:

◆ Education: may include anatomy, mechanics, care, precautions; possible pain management strategies.

◆ Exercises: may include stretches, strengthening, posture, stability, retraining or more as required.

◆ Plan / Progressions: the plan will also include progressions, pacing self, and a graduated plan to return to work, sport, hobbies and physical activities.

At the end of the session:
◾ We will re-evaluate appropriateness of Virtual Therapy.
◾ We will determine when to book follow-up appointments.
◾ We will set up next visit to review what is working/not working and re-evaluate as necessary.
◾ We recommend you follow your Home Program as best as possible.
