In the consultation room there will be a thorough conversation about what brought you here, symptoms you are experiencing, impact it is having on your day-to-day life and a wider conversation about your general health, so that a detailed case history is developed which will help tailor your treatment.

If examination is appropriate, your posture and movement with be observed, looking at how your body mechanics may be contributing to your symptoms.  You may be asked to perform simple movements (for example, bending, turning, or lifting an arm) and carry out any specific tests needed to clarify the diagnosis.
