How Our Evaluation-Based Care Works
Our Evaluation-Based Care Process
1. We Listen First
We review your history, symptoms, previous care, and what activities are limited.
2. We Evaluate Movement
We assess soft tissue restriction, joint motion, adhesion patterns, and possible nerve involvement.
3. We Explain What We Find
You receive a clear explanation of what appears to be contributing to your symptoms and whether treatment makes sense.
4. We Treat With Purpose
When appropriate, treatment focuses on the specific restriction found during the evaluation.
5. We Review Progress
Your response to care helps guide the next step, including whether initial care should continue, change, or stop.
