On arriving in our clinics the patient fills out a short questionnaire. To perform the scans a patient will have to reveal their spine. We supply gowns for female patients and you are more than welcome to have a chaperone present with you for the appointment. We also advise bringing a pair of shorts with you for accurate analysis of the pelvis, hips, legs and feet.
The scan itself is performed in a darkened room. The Formetric Specilaist will be two metres directly behind the client at the testing station. The patient will see a light grid appear from behind them and also an infra red light. The static scan will take about 15 seconds. The motion scan differs only by the fact that the patient will be walking on a specialised treadmill for 30 seconds. Appointments (type dependent) take up to an hour. Each appointment includes all relevant scans, interpretation, explanation, printed report and rehab.
Scan results are available immediately. The client will receive a printed report, they will fully understand what there injury is and what is causing it. Furthermore, the patient will be advised on a specific and tailored rehab/therapy programme with the aim being resolving the cause of symptoms.
