Assessment & Diagnosis

An accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective, long-term joint care. At our clinic, we don’t just look at an X-ray; we look at you—your movement, your lifestyle, and your specific goals.

Whether you are struggling to complete a round of golf, lunge on the bowling green, or simply walk down the stairs without stiffness, our team is here to map out a clear path forward.

Our Step-by-Step Joint Assessment

We believe in a comprehensive, “one-stop shop” approach. When you book an initial assessment with us, you are accessing an integrated team, endorsed by orthopaedic surgeons, who collaborate directly on your care:

Clinical Intake & Medical Review

Led by our Nurse Practitioner/Physiotherapist, we review your medical history, current pain levels, lifestyle impacts, and any previous treatments you’ve tried.

Biomechanical & Mobility Mapping

Our Physiotherapist will conduct a physical movement screening to assess your joint’s true range of motion, identify muscle weaknesses causing joint overload, and analyse how your body compensates for discomfort when walking or rotating.

Advanced Imaging Coordination

If you don’t have recent imaging, or if your condition has changed, our Nurse Practitioner can directly order weight-bearing X-rays or diagnostic scans. There is no need to wait weeks for a separate GP appointment just to get a referral for a scan.
