We will have to spend the first 15 minutes or so discussing its history, both medical history and current problem, how does the current problem of what you do in the every day and what your goals are. After that, they will observe your posture, walk, test your strength, flexibility, etc. There may be some pain during the assessment especially if what's wrong is not known (ie if we have to try to find out what is hurting / why). There is, however, we aim to do that hurts. Depending on the type of problem you have, you should feel good after the evaluation, perhaps a little more sore. I always try to give patients a "plan" on what to do if you owe more than exceptionally painful. days of the start of the program depends on the nature of your problem … almost always include some gentle strengthening and stretching exercise … depends on its deficit. Good luck for a speedy recovery.
