What to expect                                            

Your Initial Consultation                                                              

When you visit us for the first time we may need to ask you a lot of questions. This may include asking you about your medical history, about any previous illnesses or accidents.

We may ask about your current state of health & about any medication you are currently taking as well as the problem you are consulting us about.

You may be asked to dress down to you underwear as we need to complete a thorough physical examination in order to diagnose your condition properly.

You may wear shorts etc if you wish.

After the consultation it is not advisable to undertake any heavy activity, as a general rule if it hurts don’t do it. Some people may experience an increase in their symptoms. This is normal & should only last about 24 hours before resolving. This can often be a sign that your body is healing itself in response to the treatment.

If you have any concerns or specific queries please raise these with your osteopath at the consultation or telephone the practice.

We can be contacted out of hours. for emergency advice by calling the usual clinic number, you may need to leave a message so we can get back to you.

All our osteopaths are registered with the General Osteopathic Council are members of the British Osteopathic Association and the Sutherland Society (Cranial Osteopathy)
