What to expect

1
A thorough evaluation

Your first visit (about 45–60 minutes) includes a thorough discussion of your history, symptoms and goals, and a hands-on assessment. We then explain what is most likely causing your symptoms, in plain language.

2
A personalized plan

Hands-on care plus targeted, progressive exercise, aimed at the most likely cause we find at your evaluation and built around your lifestyle, your work and your goals. Never a one-size-fits-all program.

3
Real, lasting progress

We track your improvement and guide you back to the activities that matter, with strategies to keep the gains. From day one we set clear expectations together, because we see your care as a partnership with you and your other care providers.
