Our approach
We believe that osteopathic treatment is beneficial for all ages, not only for relieving pain but also for promoting health & wellbeing and helping the body to compensate better for the accumulation of physical and mental stresses & strains from birth onwards. For this reason, we treat a wide variety of conditions in adults and children, not just musculo-skeletal pain – please call for further details on 07805 650667 or 01306 711411 or see our patient testimonials.

What will it involve?
- A case history that will cover the reason for making the appointment and associated symptoms.
- A medical history that puts the current problem in context of your general health, and helps indicate whether you are suitable for osteopathic treatment or how you may react to treatment.
- An examination which may involve a broad ‘total body’ approach as well as an assessment of the symptomatic area; this helps the osteopath build up a picture of how the problem has arisen. You may be asked to undress down to your underwear; if you would prefer, please bring shorts and T-shirt to wear.
-
Treatment takes place once the examination has finished and if the osteopath has decided that Osteopathy is appropriate for your problem.
Appointment Times
First appointments are generally 45-60 minutes; we ask patients to arrive up to 15 minutes early in order to read & provide basic information relevant to their consultation before it begins. The emphasis of the first consultation is on taking a full case-history and making a thorough examination and evaluation; some initial treatment and any appropriate advice plus a prognosis where possible is also given at this first session.
Subsequent consultations may be anything from 15-45 minutes (average 30) and may involve review of symptoms, treatment and further advice. Treatment will usually constitute the majority (but not the whole) amount of this time.
