This 2-hour assessment will:
Assess
The Assessment begins by gathering a detailed history of your back pain or sciatica. This allows us to survey patterns in behaviour, sports, exercise, work habits, lifestyle, etc., to understand your injury history. A precise posture, movement and core stability assessment are used to identify imbalances, pain triggers and injuries.
Educate
A summary of the assessment findings and an outline of the next steps are given to you so you have a clear picture of what we will do and why. You will be educated on how to take control of your back health and avoid common back injury scenarios.
Coach
During this point, you will be coached to eliminate your pain triggers by replacing them with pain-free movements, postures and loading patterns that build your spine's capacity. Removing the cause is a key step to the elimination of back pain/sciatica. You will be coached through precise movements and exercises that will include addressing muscular deficits, building core stability, and creating mobility.
Review
A detailed written summary of your assessment findings and program will be provided for you to follow along. This may include additional follow-up appointments to ensure fine-tuning of your low back fitness program and to ensure back fitness is restored.
