What to Expect

Your First Visit at Symmetry for Health

Starting something new can feel uncertain. Our goal is to make your first visit clear, comfortable, and informative—so you know exactly what to expect and why we do what we do.

This visit is about understanding your body, not rushing into treatment.

Before Your Visit

Once your appointment is scheduled, you will receive:

  • A Client History Form to complete prior to your visit

  • A short overview video explaining what we do at Symmetry and how our approach works

Completing these ahead of time allows us to focus your visit on assessment, education, and clarity—not paperwork.

What to Wear

Please dress comfortably.

  • Wear clothing you can move in easily

  • You will remove your shoes for postural measurements

  • You may spend time on the ground, so comfortable clothing is important

Athletic or casual wear is ideal.

Your Postural Assessment

Your visit begins with a postural assessment using AlignSmart® technology.

This assessment measures how your body aligns against gravity across three planes of motion. These measurements help us identify postural imbalances and long-term compensation patterns that often lead to pain, fatigue, or recurring issues.

During this process, you will:

  • Have postural photos taken

  • Review your alignment scores

  • Learn how posture relates to your symptoms

This is not a guesswork-based evaluation. The data gives us a clear and objective starting point.

Education & Understanding

A key part of your visit is education.

We will walk you through:

  • What your measurements mean

  • Why your body is under stress

  • How posture and long-term compensation affect pain

Our goal is for you to leave understanding why your body feels the way it does—not just where it hurts.

Your Personalized Corrective Routine

Based on your assessment, we create a personalized corrective routine specific to your alignment and how your nervous system responds to posture.

These routines are designed to help your body relearn how to support itself efficiently against gravity.

Your routine:

  • Targets the muscles responsible for holding posture

  • Uses controlled, isometric exercises

  • Is sequenced intentionally to support proper neurological activation and coordination

  • Takes approximately 15–20 minutes, performed twice per day—just like brushing your teeth

  • Is designed to be done at home, without equipment

You will be shown how to perform each exercise correctly and safely, with clear guidance and support.

After Your Visit

After your first visit, you will:

  • Have a clear understanding of your posture and alignment

  • Know exactly what to work on and why

  • Have access to the AlignSmart® app for continued education and support

  • Begin reinforcing correction through consistent daily practice

Progress is monitored over time through re-measurement, and your routine is adjusted as your alignment improves.

What This Visit Is — and Isn’t

This visit is:

  • Educational

  • Data-driven

  • Personalized

  • Focused on long-term correction

This visit is:

  • A quick fix

  • A hands-on treatment session

  • A one-size-fits-all program

Correction takes consistency—but it starts with clarity.

Our Goal

We want you to leave your first visit feeling:

  • Informed

  • Empowered

  • Confident in the process

When you understand why your body is compensating, you can begin correcting the cause—not just managing the symptoms.
