We take the holistic approach to healing

 What to expect in your Initial Consultation

1. Consultation & Discussion

• Fabiano will ask you questions about your pain, discomfort, mobility, and lifestyle habits.
   
• Discussion about your goals—whether it’s pain relief, posture improvement, injury recovery, or wellness maintenance.
   

2. Physical Examination

• Posture check (how you stand, sit, and move).
   
• Range of motion testing for your spine and joints.
   
• Orthopaedic and neurological tests (to check nerve function, muscle strength, and reflexes).
   
• Palpation (feeling the spine and muscles to detect tension or misalignment).
   

3. Possible Diagnostic Imaging

• If needed, you might be referred for X-rays or other scans to better understand what’s going on internally.
   
• Not every first visit involves imaging—only if your symptoms suggest it’s necessary.
   

4. Explanation of Findings

• We will share what we have found, explain possible causes of your symptoms, and outline a recommended treatment plan. We will also go over what’s realistic in terms of results and timelines.
   

6. First Treatment with Remedial Massage

• At Mind Your Spine we begin treatment on the first visit; Treatment might include spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, stretching, or posture advice.
   

7. Homework & Self-Care Advice

• You might be given stretches, posture tips, or ergonomic advice to do at home between sessions.

A follow-up chiropractic appointment is usually shorter and more focused than the initial visit, since Fabiano already has your health history and assessment on file. Here’s what you can expect:

1.  Check-In

• Fabiano will ask how you felt after your last session. He will check if you experienced soreness, changes in pain levels, or improvements in mobility.
   

2. Progress Assessment

• Quick tests to compare your range of motion, posture, and muscle tension to the last visit.
   
• Fabiano may palpate (feel) your spine and muscles again to track changes.
   

3. Remedial Massage Following Targeted Treatment

• Remedial Massage – targeted muscle work to release tension, improve blood flow, and help adjustments hold longer.

• Spinal adjustments or manipulations tailored to your treatment plan.
   
• Soft tissue therapy, stretching, or mobilisation if needed.
   
• Adjustments may be more specific now to how your body responds.
   

4. Ongoing Recommendations

• Updated home stretches, strengthening exercises, or posture tips.
   
• Lifestyle adjustments to support healing and prevent flare-ups.
   

5. Planning Next Steps

• We will recommend when to book your next visit, depending on your progress and goals—sometimes within days for acute issues, or weeks for maintenance care.
