Initial Patient Consultation

The initial consultation is a vital part of the therapeutic process, marking the first interaction between the patient and the physiotherapist. During this session, the physiotherapist evaluates the patient’s condition and develops a rehabilitation plan aimed at achieving mutual goals.

The patient’s medical history (anamnesis) provides essential insight into the duration and onset of symptoms, the nature and location of pain, as well as any contributing factors such as occupation, hobbies, or trauma. In addition to the subjective information provided by the patient, we conduct objective clinical tests relevant to the condition. These tests can be compared with any diagnostic results the patient brings. Following a thorough process of listening, discussing, testing, and goal-setting, we determine the appropriate therapy tailored to the specific issue and the individual patient.

In subsequent sessions, we reassess clinical tests and adjust the treatment plan as needed. Once all clinical tests yield negative results and the patient’s subjective condition has improved, we transition to targeted exercises and preventative measures to ensure the issue does not recur.

Biomechanical testing consists of a series of assessments used to measure:

  • Joint mobility and muscle length
  • Technique and quality of complex movements
  • Muscle strength and endurance (lower extremities, hips, back, shoulders, core, and neck)
  • Balance
  • Core stability and breathing control

Biomechanical Testing

This testing provides valuable insights into any weaknesses or limitations that could lead to injury or pain, compensatory movement patterns, and imbalances between the left and right sides of the body.

We most commonly use biomechanical testing after completing therapy to guide clients towards appropriate exercises and prevention strategies.

All assessments are standardized and widely used by physiotherapists globally, offering measurable data for documentation and tracking the patient’s progress.
Following the testing, we send a detailed summary of the results via email. If desired, we can also provide personalized rehabilitation recommendations, which can be carried out at home or, preferably, under the guidance of a physiotherapist at our center.

We recommend repeating the test after completing the recommended rehabilitation program to evaluate progress and improvement.
