How can we diagnose and treat without physically seeing you
If this is your first appointment with us, you will be sent a questionnaire to answer so we can get a background of your conditions. Our practitioners will take a thorough history of your complaint. They may also ask you to perform some movements over the video call to help diagnose your condition. We will then provide you with some home treatment techniques to help ease your pain, as well as exercises to help manage long term. If our practitioners believe you need treatment face to face they will refer you on to an in house practitioner.
