Your First Visit
Your First Visit With Us
Prior to your first appointment with us, you will have received multiple contacts from us and paid for your first appointment with us.
You will receive a confirmation email, confirming your practitioner and your appointment day and time. The address and parking. Attached to that email will also be paperwork that we wish you to fill out ahead of this visit. This means that the practitioner can maximise the time with you and not on filling out paperwork.
On the day of your first visit with us, after parking you will enter our reception and be warmly welcomed into our centre with a smile and a friendly greeting by one of our fantastic centre assistants. Before seeing your practitioner, you will have a brief orientation of the health centre then wait in the welcome area until your appointment time. We always have a centre assistant so whether you prefer to chat, work or just relax and take some time to chill out! We can offer it all.
You will be introduced to your practitioner, who will take the time to find as much as we can about your problem. We will ask about your background, your medical history and the nature of your condition. We will then thoroughly examine the area(s) of complaint, using a selection of physical, neurological and orthopaedic tests to establish the cause. This typically takes between 30 - 45 minutes.
In most cases we complete a posture scan analysis. Having the 'blueprints' of your structure can be helpful in the diagnosis of long-term or recurrent problems. You will receive a copy and thorough explanation of these.
Once your practitioner has all the information, they need they can put together a plan of action focusing on getting you out of pain and getting you well again. You will have the chance to ask questions and discuss your care following their report of findings. The report will include a full explanation of :
- What has happened
- Why it happened
- What can be done to help
- What does that help look like
A course of care will be tailored to your specific circumstances, taking into account your personal health goals, to improve the function of your body and relieve your pain. We also aim to increase your knowledge and understanding of your body, helping you feel better faster, preventing future relapses and making you feel more in control.
Why Choose Us
The whole Ethos of what we do at the Health and Vitality Centre comes from understanding that being in pain is not just uncomfortable but it stops you living your life to the full.
In our many years of practice we have had triathletes crawl into the health centre in pain unable to move. People that have had bad falls / traumatic incidents and other with very poor movement and chronic pain.
Our goal is to provide relief as fast as possible and then to prevent the pain returning, allowing you to get back to what you love to do!
Our team strive to ensure all our guests receive the best possible care and aim for our centre to be a place you WANT to visit rather than NEED to.
