• Assessment and differential diagnosis of your problem generally does not rely on passive/manual assessment. Your history (e.g. where your symptoms are, how they behave with various movements, how they began) can be obtained via the same methods during the video call as it would be utilised in treatment room.
• The physical examination is mostly based around simple but specific movements that you can do at home or office, where the information required to be gained can all be done via video call.
• The “treatment” is almost always specific exercises and/or loading strategies that are obtained via the history and video call physical exam. Exercise videos and full exercise program will be sent to you following the consult so that your rehabilitation journey can continue, or start, from the comfort of your own home.

Having a thorough understanding of pre-existing conditions our soft tissue therapists assess, treat, and manage soft tissue injury, pain and dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system.  Our expert therapists provide an extensive screening process and a range of treatment techniques and specialties to match all your health and injury needs.

• Musculoskeletal pain
• Occupational and sporting injury
• Postural dysfunction
