Physical Assessment
Effective treatment starts with understanding the real cause of your symptoms. A thorough physical assessment with Urvashi Barbhaya, RPT, OCS, pinpoints what is driving your pain and shapes a plan built around you.
Why a proper assessment matters
Pain in one place often starts somewhere else. A careful assessment looks at how you actually move, so treatment targets the cause rather than chasing the symptom. Your evaluation typically covers:
- Your history and how the problem began
- Range of motion and joint mobility
- Strength and muscle control
- Posture and movement patterns
- Balance and coordination where relevant
- The specific movements that trigger your symptoms
From findings to a plan
Urvashi explains what she finds in plain language and connects it to your goals, then builds a treatment plan around it. You leave the first visit understanding what is going on and what the path forward looks like.
What to expect
The assessment is unhurried, and in most cases treatment begins the same visit. With Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) training and more than ten years of experience, the evaluation is thorough and specific to you.
