Your osteopath first will take a full case history, which includes questions about your previous medical history, accidents, operations, any current health condition, and medication. Next, we will examine the mobility of your spine and assess painful areas, joint mobility, and your posture. After that, we will be able to state a working diagnosis and find any factors contributing to your current complaint. Sometimes examination may include specific systemic health tests e.g. neurological examination, blood pressure, and/ or oxygen level readings. Further on if we decide that osteopathic therapy is appropriate for you, we will inform you about our treatment plan and start the treatment

Depending on the injured area, you may be required to get undressed during the appointment. Therefore, you may feel more comfortable in appropriate underwear (please, no thongs). Alternatively, you may prefer to wear e.g. shorts or leggings.

We will always do our best to make you feel as comfortable as it is only possible, so it is absolutely okay for you to attend your appointment with a family member and/ or a friend, however, due to the size of the room, I would advise not to be accompanied by more than one person. Also please be aware that the clinic has no waiting area, so they will have to stay with you throughout the whole visit.

We are situated on the first floor, so please keep in mind that there will be 1 flight of stairs to climb with of course a fitted handrail for your support and safety. There is unfortunately no disabled access and/or a lift.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

All of the osteopathy sessions last around 45 minutes, which would include around 30-40 minutes of the treatment itself during the follow-up appointment.

Please give at least 48 hours notice for a cancellation so we can offer the slot to someone else. No-shows and cancellations made within 24 hours will be charged a full appointment fee to cover our costs. Cancellations made between 24-48 hours will be charged 50% appointment fee.
