People ask what could possibly take 90 minutes. Fair question. Here is the honest walkthrough of what happens when you come in.
First 15 minutes: your story
Where it hurts, when it started, what makes it better or worse, what you have already tried, and — most importantly — what the pain has taken from you. Golf? Sleep? Playing with your kids? That becomes the goal we measure against.
The next hour: testing, head to toe
This is the part almost nobody has had done before. No machines — hands-on testing, joint by joint and muscle by muscle:
- Posture and alignment — where your body sits when you are not thinking about it.
- Joint checks — which joints move well, which are stuck, which move too much to cover for the stuck ones.
- Muscle strength tests — one by one, both sides, scored. This is where hidden problems show up: a muscle that looks fine but scores a 3 out of 10 until we correct your position.
- Movement — squatting, bending, reaching, walking. How the pieces work together under real life.
We test far from the painful spot on purpose. Your foot can be part of your shoulder problem. Your hips are almost always part of your back problem. If we only looked where it hurts, we would miss the cause the way everyone else has.
The last 15 minutes: your answers
We walk through what we found in plain language: what is weak, what is tight, what is stuck, and how those pieces add up to the pain you came in with. Then the plan — which phase to start with, what we will fix first, and when we will re-test to prove it is working.
What you leave with
- A clear explanation of why you hurt — not a shrug and a printout
- Your baseline scores, so future progress is measurable, not a vibe
- A phased plan built from your results
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. Bring any imaging or reports you have. And bring your questions — you will have time to ask them.
