Assessment

The assessment begins with a thorough intake questionnaire and history taking. Then to the physical assessment.  It starts with observation of posture and functional movements.  It progresses to external assessment of connective tissue/muscle tension, range of motion and strength testing, and neural involvement.  If necessary, additional orthopaedic manual tests will be carried out at this time. 

If the patient is seeking pelvic health care, an internal digital exam is recommended. This assesses connective tissue, muscle tension, prolapse and pelvic floor muscle strength/endurance and coordination. 

Please note that the internal exam is not mandatory, but does provide extremely valuable information which guides appropriate and effective treatment.

Upon completing the assessment, a personalized treatment plan is created. Typically, home exercises, education and/or strategies are provided in the initial session.
