Treatments may include; advice, diagnosis, exercise plans, muscle balance, gait and posture analysis or muscular-skeletal assessment. In some instances it may be necessary to refer to your G.P, Consultant or another health practitioner. Laboratory tests or radiographic imaging are sometimes suggested to confirm a diagnosis.
