Assessment, treatment, rehabilitation and recovery
Function & Forge offers two ways to work together. Injury Assessment & Rehabilitation is for pain, injury, restriction or a change in function that needs to be understood and assessed. Recovery Therapy is for people looking to support recovery, movement and physical wellbeing through hands on treatment and appropriate treatment modalities, without requiring a new injury assessment.
Injury Assessment & Rehabilitation
For pain, injury, restriction or a change in function that is affecting everyday life, work, training or sport. We start by understanding the problem, how it developed and what you need your body to do. The assessment then focuses on the movement, strength and physical findings relevant to your presentation. From there, we discuss what the findings suggest and agree an appropriate treatment and rehabilitation plan.
- Understanding the history of the problem and how it is affecting you
- Assessment of relevant movement and function
- Strength and load assessment where appropriate
- Relevant clinical testing
- Hands on treatment and appropriate treatment modalities
- Rehabilitation exercise and movement guidance
- Advice around activity, training and load
- Retesting and review of relevant findings
- Agreed next steps and progression
Where appropriate, rehabilitation can progress into movement, loading and exercise work in the Forge.
Recovery Therapy
Recovery Therapy is for people looking to support recovery, movement and physical wellbeing without requiring a new injury assessment. Sessions may draw on sports massage, hands on therapy and appropriate treatment modalities according to your individual needs. Modalities form part of the overall treatment approach rather than being offered as separate services. This allows the session to be adapted according to your presentation, activity and recovery needs. If something arises during the session that would benefit from a fuller assessment, we can discuss the appropriate next step.
