What to Expect During Your First Appointment

We'll start by talking about what's bothering you, what you'd like to improve, and any relevant history. Your therapist may assess movement or other contributing factors before beginning treatment. From there, we'll explain what we're working on and tailor the session to your needs.

At the end, we'll discuss what you noticed during the session and any simple recommendations that may help between visits.

The other woman is standing, wearing a blue top, with tattoos on her right arm, and appears to be speaking to or examining the woman on the table.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. Our goal is simple: set your appointments so you can live your life with less pain. We want you to need less care as time goes on.

From the first appointment, we build your care on a solid foundation like a pyramid—supporting you every step of the way. Everything is based on how YOU feel.

  • We'll assess how you feel, your lifestyle, and your goals to create a plan that fits where you are in your journey.

  • Not always! Our goal is to help you improve so we can safely space out your appointments over time while keeping pain at bay.

  • Absolutely. Your plan should always reflect how you feel. We adjust as your needs change.

  • Reach out. We're here to help you get back on track and adjust your plan as needed.
