The 206 Optimal Movement Soft Tissue Therapy Process...

1. Assessment

The first step at 206OM is an in-depth assessment between you and your Soft Tissue Therapist, to gather all relevant physical and lifestyle details in order to plan what kind of and how many treatment sessions you will need. This may also involve a handover from the Doctors, medical team, and Physiotherapist who may have assessed you using the Biopsychosocial model.

Our patients can come just for Soft tissue therapy, or as recommended by their 206OM Physiotherapist after assessment, depending on their needs.

2. Treatment Method

Each part of your body may require a different type of treatment based on your challenges and goals. Soft tissue therapy treatments at 206OM are usually a combination of the following according to your initial assessment and reassessment during progression.
