Case history
The first osteopathic treatment session always starts with a detailed case history. This helps build up a clearer picture of why for example, you back or neck, is hurting. It also gives some clues as to what might be stopping that area of your body from functioning normally and healing.
Examination and diagnosis
Following the case history I will do an examination so that I can see how different areas of your body work with each other. This usually involves some clothing being removed so you may want to bring along a pair of shorts. As well as observing your posture and how freely you can move, osteopathic examination involves palpation (a highly developed sense of touch) to identify points of weakness or excessive strain throughout the body. After this I will be able to make a safe working diagnosis of your problem and will offer you osteopathic treatment.
Osteopathic Treatment
Osteopathic treatment involves gentle, manual techniques including soft tissue massage, articulation and mobilisation, to help ease pain, reduce swelling and improve mobility. If appropriate, you will also be prescribed exercises to help you enjoy the benefits of treatment in the long term.
Subsequent Osteopathic Treatment Sessions (£45.00)
If you require further treatments I will draw up a treatment/management plan. This is designed to help you manage your symptoms and get the greatest benefit from your osteopathic treatment sessions.
