• Wearing loose stretchy clothes makes it easier to assess and treat without having to remove clothing.
• A few simple tests will be performed to confirm diagnosis.
• Treatment is gentle, and involves moving and stretching muscles, ligaments and joints; and light pressure. If at any point you feel uncomfortable with a technique, speak up as your comfort in paramount.
