If you know, you know (IYKYK)

Self efficacy refers to your belief in your own capacity to execute behaviors necessary to produce specific performance attainments. This means how confident you are in specific aspects of your life.

Studies have shown that patients with high health self efficacy have better health outcomes and quality of life. This means the more you know, the longer you life a happier and healthier life.

When you come to see us and we finish a thorough assessment, we will be able to diagnosis the issue.

After diagnosis of pathology, we will discuss exactly what is happening.

This includes reviewing :

• Potential Mechanisms of Injury

  • What caused the injury

• Bio-Mechanical Dysfunction

  • How this may affect your movement and how you feel.

• Adverse Lifestyle Habits

  • If your habits are directly affecting or triggering symptoms

• Risk Factors

  • What can happen if the issue progresses to the next step.

• Prognosis

  • How long the issue usually lasts and how to fix it.

Once you understand the issue, we will plan a strategy together that will get you better as soon as possible and to get to the point where the issue does NOT return.
