Appointments
Initial assessments are booked for one hour to allow time for a detailed history and examination to be taken of your shoulder and related areas. During this session you will receive a clinical diagnosis, advice on likely contributing factors and a treatment/management plan.
Digital dynamometry (muscle strength testing) and video are used to aid assessment and provide objective outcome measures.
The shoulder is a complex joint and requires a detailed assessment to fully understand all of the reasons why a person may be feeling weakness, pain or restriction with their shoulder movements.
