The first visit
How
a first assessment works
Listening and history
The first meeting starts with a conversation. The story of the problem, scans and reports already done, work, sport, daily loads, what you have already tried and how it went. A great many functional diagnoses are built right here.
Functional assessment
Movement examination, orthopaedic and neurological tests, palpation. It is there to work out which structures are involved, which are not, and what is keeping the problem going. If the picture suggests something outside my scope, I tell you and refer you on.
Treatment and plan
Manual therapy and therapeutic exercise, dosed to the case. By the end of the first session you know how many sessions I expect, how often, and which signs we will use to decide whether it is working.
A written document, not just words
At the end of the assessment you leave with a document setting out the history, what I found and the plan of work, exercises included. It is for you, so you know what we are doing and why, and for any other professional who needs to read your case. It is the thing patients mention most often in their reviews.
Where it leads. The aim is that you stop coming: exercises to do at home, managing loads, what to do when the symptom returns. Treatment ends when you can manage your body without me.
The assessment is both physiotherapy and osteopathy: it is one appointment, not two different ones.

Spine and pelvis
I trained in osteopathy at a school dedicated to the spine, with two and a half years of clinical placement at the Spine Center Project in Bologna. It is the region most of my patients come for and the one I work on most often: from acute pain through to post-neurosurgical rehabilitation.
Pelvis, sacrum and hip
These are the names people arrive with. Each one opens its entry on the body map, where you will find what it is called in today's literature and where the pain usually travels. The entries are in Italian.

Un professionista completo, osteopata e fisioterapista. Mi ha davvero rimesso al mondo! Ero stato in un altro studio ma non mi sentivo seguito… Qui ho trovato prima di tutto una persona, oltre che naturalmente un esperto. Mi sono sentito accolto, ascoltato e guidato nel percorso di ripresa. Il risultato è stato eccellente e non poteva essere altrimenti, grazie davvero di tutto!
Il Dr Gherla e' un ottimo professionista, con l'anamnesi ha focalizzato il mio problema lombare e, con uno specifico trattamento, mi ha dato subito gran sollievo. La scheda tecnica che mi ha inviato e' stata molto utile per proseguire a casa con degli esercizi mirati. Lo raccomando per la sua professionalita' e competenza.
Mi sono rivolta al Dott. Gherla a Roma per un dolore persistente alla gamba sinistra e già dal primo incontro ha individuato la causa. Grazie alle sedute di fisioterapia e agli esercizi personalizzati da fare a casa ho visto miglioramenti in tempi rapidi. È un fisioterapista e osteopata molto competente, professionale e disponibile, capace di mettere subito a proprio agio. Benefici concreti già dopo le prime sedute. Consigliatissimo per chi cerca un fisioterapista e osteopata a Roma!

The first step is working out where the problem comes from. That is exactly what the initial assessment is for, before any treatment.
