Liz will take the time to discuss with you your medical history, your current problem/concerns, what aggravates and relieves your pain and your goals for treatment.

Following this discussion Liz will complete a detailed observation. She will look and touch the area of concern. She will be investigating the mobility and stability of the joints, muscles and connective tissue. She will consider the strength and balance of the muscles. She will also perform a neurological screening.

Based on the subjective history, objective assessment and your goals Liz will formulate a treatment plan. She will explain her findings and discus a treatment plan with you.

I recommend that you wear loose comfortable clothing (not jeans) for your assessment and follow up visits so that I can effectively assess and treat the area of concern. For example, If it is a shoulder issue, I would appreciate it if you wore a tank top or sports bra. If it is an ankle or lower leg issue it is best to wear or bring shorts. If you are unsure how you should dress for your condition, please feel free to ask me before you come.
