The assessment helps guide discussion about appropriate care, self-management, rehabilitation, or whether another form of assessment or referral may be needed.You will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout, and the plan will be discussed with you before treatment begins.

Hands-on treatment may be used where appropriate and with your consent. Depending on your assessment and preferences, this may include spinal manipulative therapy, joint mobilisation, soft-tissue therapy, assisted stretching/relaxation techniques or dry needling.Hands-on care is considered as one part of a broader management plan, rather than a stand-alone solution.
