What happens at your first appointment?
If you have never visited an osteopath before, it is natural to want to know what to expect.
1. We listen
Your osteopath will ask about your symptoms, general health and medical history, as well as how the problem is affecting you.
2. We assess
We will examine how your body is moving and carry out appropriate clinical tests to help understand what may be causing your symptoms.
3. We explain
We will discuss what we have found with you and explain the treatment options we believe are appropriate.
4. Treatment
Where appropriate, treatment can usually begin during your first appointment.
You will have an opportunity to ask questions throughout your visit. Our aim is for you to understand what we are doing and why.
