Follow-up appointments will last up to ½ an hour.
We can treat all joint, muscle, tendon, ligament injuries, both acute and chronic in nature. We will do a holistic assessment of your condition to establish the root cause and aim to effectively treat the cause not just the symptoms.
Diagnostic ultrasound is a service offered by Shaun Rouse in conjunction with a clinical history taking and physiotherapy assessment. This imaging modality is able to visualise structures and complements the clinical assessment to help formulate an accurate diagnosis of your presenting complaint.
