Clear explanations and practical treatment planning are a core part of Peter's consultations, so patients understand what is causing symptoms and what the next step should be.
Assessment comes first, including a thorough history and clinical examination, before any treatment recommendations are made.
Biomechanics, gait assessment and diagnostic ultrasound can be used where clinically indicated to support a more confident diagnosis and targeted treatment plan.
Treatment recommendations are tailored to symptoms, examination findings and activity demands, with rehabilitation planning that supports day-to-day recovery and return to sport where relevant.
Peter aims to connect symptoms with lifestyle and activity demands, so treatment advice is realistic for work, sport and day-to-day routines.
Follow-up care is used to review progress, adjust rehabilitation and keep treatment moving in the right direction if symptoms change.
Where appropriate, Peter combines hands-on clinical assessment with imaging and biomechanical findings to help patients feel confident in the diagnosis.
