Stage 1 — Clinical assessment (45 minutes)
Your first visit is an assessment, not a treatment session. The clinician takes a full history, reviews medical records and imaging, and performs a structured physical examination using validated outcome measures appropriate to your condition. By the end you receive a clinical opinion: whether rehabilitation is indicated, the working diagnosis, realistic outcomes, and a draft treatment plan.
Stage 2 — Treatment plan and goal setting
Effective rehabilitation depends on shared, specific goals — written in SMART format. "Walk better" is not a goal. "Walk 50 meters outdoors with one elbow crutch within 8 weeks" is. You leave Stage 2 with a written plan specifying frequency, duration, expected timeline, reassessment dates, and milestones.
Stage 3 — Active therapy
Sessions are one-to-one with your assigned clinician. The team meets weekly to discuss complex patients, so multiple disciplines coordinate on the same goals rather than working in parallel. Home exercise programs are issued and reviewed at every visit — outcomes correlate strongly with adherence between sessions.
Stage 4 — Reassessment (every 4–6 weeks)
The same outcome measures used at baseline are repeated. The treatment plan is reviewed against documented progress. Goals are revised. If progress has plateaued, we change approach rather than continuing to bill for sessions that aren't producing change.
Stage 5 — Discharge and follow-up
Discharge happens when goals are achieved, when the patient has reached a maintenance plateau, or when continuing therapy is no longer producing functional gain. You leave with a written discharge summary, a long-term home program, and clear guidance on when to return.
