Injury Diagnosis in Plymouth

Your assessment begins with a detailed conversation about your symptoms — when they started, what makes them better or worse, your history, lifestyle and goals. From there we carry out a thorough physical examination, looking at movement, strength, joint mobility, neurological function and how different structures respond to specific tests. We'll explain what we're doing as we go and give you a clear, jargon-free explanation of what we find — including what we think is driving the problem and what we recommend to address it.

Your initial assessment typically takes around 45 to 60 minutes. In most cases we'll begin treatment at the same appointment — there's no need to wait for a second session to get started. We'll give you a clear explanation of our findings, a diagnosis where possible, and an outline of what your treatment plan will look like. If we feel that imaging, a medical referral or input from another specialist would be beneficial, we'll tell you clearly and help you navigate the next step.

If you're in pain and don't know why, or you've been managing a problem that keeps coming back, a proper diagnostic assessment is always the right starting point. We see patients of all ages and activity levels — from competitive athletes to those who haven't exercised in years. You don't need a GP referral, and you don't need to have a specific sport or injury in mind. If something hurts and you want to understand why, we can help.
