1. Initial Consultation

Your first appointment is designed to give a clear understanding of you - what’s happening in your body, what’s been challenging you and what you want to feel different in your life. It’s important that you feel safe, supported and that we are confident this is the right place for your care. 

This visit is comprehensive. We’ll spend time getting to know each other, exploring your symptoms, daily stressors and overall wellbeing. From there, I’ll assess how your spine, nervous system and movement patterns are functioning so we can understand the root of what you’re experiencing. 

Your assessment may include: 

• Posture and movement evaluation 
• Chiropractic, neurological, and orthopaedic testing
• Mobility and functional assessments
• Any additional testing needed to fully understand your health 

If necessary, you may be referred for imaging or further investigations so we have the full picture.

Once your assessment is complete, we’ll book your Report of Findings appointment. I’ll take time to review your results and create a personalised care plan based on what your body needs and what your goals are. We’ll go through this together at your second visit so you feel clear, supported and involved every step of the way.

This appointment takes approximately 45 minutes. 

2. Report of Findings

At your second visit, we’ll go through the results of your initial assessment and your personalised care plan. This is your opportunity to understand what’s happening in your body and how we can work together to support your health goals. 

We'll discuss what’s contributing to your symptoms, how your nervous system and stress patterns may be involved and what type of care will best support you. You’ll also gain a clear understanding of timeframes, the initial recommended frequency of care and your investment in your health. 

Your personalised plan may include hands-on chiropractic care, bodywork, nervous system support, movement practices and guidance for things you can do at home. If needed, I’ll coordinate with or refer you to other healthcare providers to ensure you receive comprehensive support. 

Once you have all the information, the decision to start care is entirely yours. If you choose to begin, you’ll receive your first adjustment. 

This appointment takes approximately 30 minutes. 

3. Your plan in action

Every body, spine and nervous system is unique, and so is your journey. Your plan is regularly reviewed through progress exams to ensure you’re making the changes we expect and to adjust care as needed. If at any point we feel chiropractic isn’t the best option, I’ll let you know and guide you to the most suitable alternative. 

Chiropractic care is recommended only for as long as it remains supportive and aligned with your goals. Some clients continue care proactively - like regular exercise, sleep or other healthy habits - to support their nervous system and continue living a full and well life.

Above all, your care is collaborative. You are in charge of your health and your journey and I hope you feel supported, confident and empowered throughout.
