Consultation at Wellwest

Consultations are relaxed and friendly. The following section is designed to give new patients an outline of the process that we go through during a typical session. Feel free to contact us if you have further questions.

History

Initially, we discuss your complaint and gain an understanding of your case history, in order to fully appreciate your needs.

Diagnosis

Like GPs, a large part of our training is dedicated to enabling us to make a safe and accurate diagnosis of your problem. Occasionally, if required we may refer you to another medical professional specific to your needs.

Examination

In consultation with you, a physical examination is performed through a variety of hands on techniques; assessing attributes such as postural alignment, joint movement and muscle tone. While it is advisable to wear suitable underwear for this process patients are able to be treated fully clothed.

Treatment

The likely cause of your problem is explained to you, in easy to understand language. After agreement on the treatment approach and expected timeframes involved, we apply carefully targeted techniques to facilitate healing.

Advice

During the treatment you may also be given friendly advice relating to simple stretches or lifestyle changes to help this process or prevent reoccurrence.
