This session includes treatment and a tailored home exercise program.

FOLLOW-UP TREATMENT

Patient-Centered Treatment

Should you require ongoing therapy, these 45min follow-up appointments are for you. During these sessions we will follow and adapt our treatment plan, implementing a number of physiotherapy techniques and exercise interventions to help you reach your goal.
