1)Postural Alignment and Gait Assessment.A clients skeletal alignment and how they walk tell a skilled therapist volumns about the physical and/or emotional history of the client. Misalignment in the axial skeleton (crainium, spine and pelvis) can be an indicator of an underlying muscular imbalance.

2) Cronic Hypertonus or Muscular Imbalance Assessment (mild to high levels of neuromuscular tension when the the muscle is at rest)Muscles that are always tense and tight can be and indicator of injury deep in the muscle or connective tissue. Tender Points or Trigger Points (areas or soreness or pain to the touch or when movement occurs) may be the result of overuse due to repetitive use or misuse due to dysfunctional movement habits or trauma. These conditions are often successfully treated with combinations of techniques designed to reduce the muscle tension and discomfort, increase the range of motion, and restore the area to normal function.

3) Evaluation of Client's Medical History of Illness and Injury.Knowlwdge of the client's medical history is essential in development of a comphrehensive treatment plan. Prior injury or illness are often contributing factors to current wellbeing. Underlying conditions frequently change the course of action in bringing the client back into a state of balance and comfort. Some conditions require special consideration and sometimes call for contraindication to otherwise standard treatment protcol. Your therapist can work on the advise of a treating physician, chiropractor or physical therapist when warranted.
