What to expect

​

During your first consultation, your Osteopath will take a thorough health history and discuss your specific symptoms and goals. The first consultation is one hour to allow detailed discussion, assessment and treatment. Assessment may include internal assessments if indicated, discussed and consented to. An internal assessment is not at all mandatory, and sometimes contraindicated, your own comfort and safety is paramount and any assessment and/ or treatment techniques are discussed in length beforehand and are entirely voluntary. 

​

Lifestyle education and advice, exercise prescription and self-care strategies may also be discussed and these will be tailored to your individual needs and goals.
