Assessment & Treatment

Where are we?

How to find us

Assessment

The first consultation will usually last about 40 minutes. This will involve discussing your medical history relevant to the presenting problem and answering questions based on your life style, for example, any sports you do, what kind of job you have, i.e. desk based and any other activities or hobbies you have, i.e. gardening that may impact your body. Once a case history has been taken, a physical assessment will be conducted taking into account the structure and mobility of the spine and body.

Once the cause of pain has been identified, treatment will commence. This may be as a single treatment, a course of treatment or ongoing maintenance. Your Osteopath will discuss the options with you and the reason for the treatment.

Treatment

Osteopaths work with their hands, using treatments from manipulation to massage. This is to ease and mobilise muscles, joints and ligaments to realign the body. The treatment is tailored to the individual. Please remember to wear appropriate clothes to make treatment possible.

The patient will be treated lying down, either on their front, side or back, depending on the problem. The Osteopath will manipulate the area required to help realign the spine and relax the surrounding tissue.
