Your first session will include a full assessment of your posture, movement, and health history. We aim to understand the root cause of your symptoms and create a personalised treatment plan.
Osteopathy is gentle and hands-on. Treatment may include joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, posture guidance, and lifestyle advice. Sessions are tailored to your needs and comfort.
During your initial consultation your osteopath will outline a treatment plan and discuss the expected duration of treatment. Each presentation will vary significantly, however, most patients are expected to need no more than 4-6 treatments initially, following which, your osteopath will discuss frequency of ongoing treatment with you if indicated.
However, it is usually advisable to make an appointment with your osteopath on a quarterly or biannual basis, for regular check-ups and maintenance treatments.
No! It is the goal of most osteopaths to get you out of pain as quickly as possible and treatment is often described as enjoyable. However, some techniques may be uncomfortable (for this we apologise), and you are encouraged to let your osteopath know if it is causing severe distress or discomfort so that techniques can be modified and an alternative approach can be taken. It is not uncommon for there to be an initial soreness or temporary worsening of symptoms after osteopathic treatment, though this should usually subside within 12-24 hours. This is known as a treatment reaction and often signifies the initial stages of healing. However, if this persists longer than 48 hours or causes you major distress, you should call your osteopath immediately to seek advice.
All information is strictly confidential between you and your osteopath unless it is thought that you or someone else may be at risk. All records, including contact information, will be stored confidentially for a minimum of 7 years.
Osteopathy is regulated by the General Osteopathic Council (G.OsC). Should you wish to make a complaint or voice your concerns about the behaviour of your osteopath or any aspect of your experience, you are encouraged to do so by contacting G.OsC at info@osteopathy.org.uk
