First appointment:
The session lasts 45 minutes and consists of:
- Assessment: During the assessment I will ask some questions to identify the origin of the problem. After that we will perform some tests to confirm our initial hypothesis.
- Treatment: I normally apply INDIBA® plus manual therapy (deep tissue massage, stretching and other techniques for muscles; manipulation and mobilisation for bones; tension relief for visceral and head issues).
- Homework: I will prescribe some exercises and provide some advice for you in order to achieve the best possible results after the treatment and to keep you fit as long as possible before attending to another session.
Follow up appointment:
The session lasts 45 minutes and consists of:
• Assessment: This time we will assess the effectiveness of the previous treatment and focus on how you feel and how to achieve the best possible outcome from the session.

• Homework: Exercises review.
