Offered to new clients, the initial consultation includes a comprehensive review of your history, objective assessments, and any relevant scans. Based on this information, we provide a clinical opinion and develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
REVIEW CONSULTATION
A review consultation is for existing clients. This involves assessing your progress and adapting your recovery as appropriate.
