​
Will I just be given exercises?

​
What should I wear to my appointment?
It is very common for patients to wear just underwear garments during assessment and treatment. However, it is important you feel comfortable. Shorts (for lower limb) or a loose vest (for upper limb) treatment may be worn. Alex will always ensure you are comfortable and that modesty is maintained.

This will be discussed following a thorough assessment of your problem. On average, most patients require between 3-6 treatment sessions.
