Your First Appointment
Below you will find a list of how to prepare for your for appointment, what to expect during, and what to expect after.
- When you sign up for your first visit, you will receive an email with an initial intake form to fill out.
- Bring any relevant medical records (doctor’s notes, surgical notes, recent blood work, imaging) to your visit.
- I recommend bringing in all supplements you are currently taking so we can go over them together.
- At your first visit you will leave with a document outlining treatment plan recommendations based on your goals for treatment.
- Please wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing that can be easily rolled up to your elbows and knees – which is to say, please do not wear spandex.
- Please do not wear any heavily-scented perfumes, lotions, essential oils, or colognes to your treatment.
- Make sure to come to your appointment having consumed a light meal or a snack an hour or two before your appointment time.
- At your first appointment and any subsequent appointments, I will perform a hands-on exam before discussing your reasons for seeking treatment and checking in.
- After your appointment, you most likely will feel quite relaxed, but it isn’t a problem to do a light to moderate walk, yoga class, bike ride, or any other kind of physical activity later in the day (unless you are coming in for a musculoskeletal complaint, in which case the instructions may differ).
