The first appointment is all about getting to know you! What is impairing your quality of life? What are your goals? What are your limitations? I will educate you about your body and explain the root cause of your diagnosis. I will perform appropriate tests and measures to assess your strength, endurance, posture, breathing, functional movement patterns and sometimes a pelvic floor assessment, if applicable. Although a pelvic floor exam may not always be necessary, at times it may be suggested. This might feel uncomfortable for some. We will talk about your options so that you can make an informed decision. Lastly, I will outline the plan for your treatment. Your goals, my plan and your commitment is our unofficial signed contract to your success!
