During your first appointment, we’ll begin by taking a detailed medical history. This can include questions that may seem unrelated to your current symptoms, but this thorough approach helps us gain a complete understanding of your health. The information you provide will guide us in creating a treatment plan that addresses not just your immediate symptoms but also any underlying factors contributing to your condition.

Once we have your medical history, we’ll proceed with a physical examination. This may involve assessing your posture, joint mobility, muscle tension, and other relevant factors. Using this information, we will diagnose your condition and explain the findings to you in clear, understandable terms. We'll also discuss how your symptoms relate to your overall health, and why specific treatments are recommended.

Following the examination and discussion, we'll begin the treatment phase. Our osteopaths use a variety of hands-on techniques tailored to your individual needs, which may include gentle manipulation, stretching, massage, or other techniques to improve mobility and reduce pain. Throughout the treatment, we’ll make sure you're comfortable and inform you of what’s happening at every step.

After your treatment, we’ll provide a plan for ongoing care and management. This may include advice on lifestyle changes, exercises to support your recovery, and recommendations for follow-up treatments. We’ll also ensure you understand the expected timeline for improvement, and we’ll be available to answer any questions along the way to ensure you're on track for optimal recovery.
