Physical Therapy Assessment
We start with history and physical examination to identify contributing factors, screen for red flags and select a rehabilitation approach that fits the individual.
Neck, shoulder or upper-back pain during desk work can relate to posture, repeated loading, movement habits and muscle endurance. Assessment helps identify contributing factors and build a plan around your actual work and activity needs.
Assessment & rehabilitation
Low back pain can arise from many sources, including muscles, joints and sometimes the nervous system. A structured assessment helps identify movement limitations, neurological signs and red flags before a rehabilitation plan is started.
Assessment & rehabilitation
Heel and arch pain often relates to how much load the foot is handling, walking or running volume, ankle mobility and calf or foot strength. Assessment helps identify the factors that are most relevant before deciding on treatment.
Assessment & rehabilitation
Frozen shoulder can make reaching overhead, behind the back or dressing difficult. Measuring active and passive range of motion, pain behaviour and shoulder-blade function helps distinguish it from other shoulder problems and guide an appropriate rehabilitation pace.
Assessment & rehabilitation
Knee pain and osteoarthritis can affect walking, stairs, squatting and getting up from a chair. Strength, joint movement and task-based assessment help identify practical rehabilitation goals for daily life.
Assessment & rehabilitation
Sports rehabilitation should consider the injured area, mechanism of injury, strength, movement quality and the demands of the sport. Assessment provides a safer basis for progressing back to training and competition.
Assessment & rehabilitationGeneral information only. Severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, significant trauma, fever, unexplained weakness or other red flags may require medical assessment.
