- You will be asked questions about your symptoms and also the issues you are having because of these symptoms. We will also ask about your medical history, general health and lifestyle and any medication you are currently taking.
- Your treatment plan and diagnosis will be discussed with you before treatment commences. We will also give you a guide as to how many treatments you may need.
- Osteopathy aims to relieve the pain you are experiencing. We also aim to find the underlying cause of the symptoms, reducing the chance of those symptoms returning in the future. To ease tension, pain and stiffness, osteopathy uses various techniques such as soft tissue work (massage), manipulation (sometimes heard as a click), or cranial sacral techniques (very subtle) as part of the treatment, we would use what we think to be the most effective techniques for the individual.
- Further follow up appointments after your initial consultation are approximately 30 minutes long (if required).
