Treatment sessions start with assessment; talking about your issues, postural assessment, and moves to checking range of motion for the area or issue you are working on. Postural assessments includes looking at your bony framework for sidebends, elevated, rotations, shifts and tilts in the back, hips. limbs, head and neck. Further steps are looking at how the body is standing; is the weight forward? Backwards? To one side? How is the range of motion. All this information assists in painting a picture of what is creating or contributing to your issues and causing pain. Treatment is both local, working on your problem area, and holistic, looking at your whole body to get to the underlying causes.
