What to Expect at Atlas Sports & Exercise Medicine – the Patient Journey

Initial Consultation

All our initial consultations are in-person. This is because we believe that to really understand the nature of a musculoskeletal problem as well as your goals for recovery, we need to meet you.
‍
The first step in the journey is a thorough Clinical Assessment, which begins with a discussion of your medical history, any previous injuries, and your current symptoms. This is followed by a comprehensive physical examination where we'll evaluate the cause of your discomfort or pain.

Diagnosis

Using clinical evaluation, supported by necessary diagnostic tests (e.g., scans or imaging), we'll provide a clear working diagnosis to guide management.

Personalised Treatment Plan

Based on your assessment and diagnosis, we will create a personalised rehabilitation plan for you. This may include an online programme that you can simply follow along. Our focus is always on using the most appropriate, evidence-based approach for each case.

This may be multi-modal requiring both exercises and interventions and is often multidisciplinary involving input from allied healthcare professionals, such as physiotherapists.

Follow-Up Care

Monitoring Your Progress: Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to track your recovery and adjust your treatment plan as necessary. We take your feedback seriously and ensure your rehabilitation is on track.

Depending on the nature of your specific case, we can arrange follow up in-person, or virtually via teleconsultation

Return-to-Sport or Activity

Once your recovery is underway, we may conduct a return-to-sport assessment, ensuring you can safely resume your activities with reduced risk of further injury. This is a collaborative decision made with you as the patient.
