completing an in-depth assessment. We use a range of orthopaedic & special tests
designed to draw a picture of what might be happening for the patient. We also might
ask you to move in a number of different ways looking for range of motion deficits to
help develop the best treatment plan for you.
Common questions
What if I haven’t tried all the fancy modalities mentioned above?

best place to start. You can still achieve good results through the hands on
‘massage’ approach!
Tom is highly trained in all other modalities. If you haven’t had them before, ask
about how they could help benefit you in your next session.

insurance company. Most health care policies renew on January 1st.
