Osteopathy

What happens during your visit

Firstly we take time taking a detail case history. This involves details about the current problem you're coming in with as well as details about any past and previous problems. We also take a detail medical history to check any other associated symptoms and whether the person is suitable for treatment.

On examination you will be asked to remove some appropriate items of clothing to allow the osteopath to fully assess the problem and other associate areas. If you feel uncomfortable with this we can normally work around it. We will take you through a series of simple movements and a system of diagnosis including any special tests to make a full diagnosis. The osteopath will then talk you through the problem and what will be involved with treatment. Treatment involves gentle manual techniques to work through any problems and assist the body to heal itself.
