01Assess
Targeted intake before any hands-on work.
Joanne reviews your health history and the nature of your symptoms before treatment begins. Prenatal patients receive a specific intake covering trimester, current complications, and comfort needs. She listens before she treats — the session plan is explained before any pressure is applied.
What we cover
- Health history and current symptoms
- Daily demands — work posture, sleep, activity load
- For prenatal patients: trimester, current complications, comfort needs
- Areas of restriction and pain pattern
- Session plan walked through before treatment starts
