Osteopathic Consultations

Initial consultations are between 40-60 min and involve taking a comprehensive medical history and viewing of any medical reports. An examination of the body, assessing muscles and joints for quality and range of movement, will occur in order to determine any abnormal patterns of movement that your body is enduring. Following this will be a discussion about whether your condition is suitable for Osteopathic treatment and what treatment will involve.

Techniques may include muscle stretching, joint mobilisation, manipulation, traction or more subtle, gentle techniques often used in particularly acute patients or children. Towards the end of the consultation, your Osteopath will discuss finding again, response to treatment, any exercises or stretches that may be beneficial to complete at home and if you require any further treatment or referral. If necessary, Osteopaths can refer for xrays and MRIs but these are not often needed.
