If you are wondering what to expect when you come for an appointment with us, then let’s walk you through the steps.
As osteopaths, we help to restore normal muscle and joint function, relieve pain and help you on your road to recovery. We do this through a combination of movement, stretching, deep tissue massage, and muscle and joint manipulation.
To begin with, we’ll talk to you about your health and life, including your medical history, diet and exercise habits. We may also, carry out a few medical checks, such as checking your pulse, blood pressure and reflexes.
We usually look at your posture and how you move your body. We may also assess which areas are sensitive or tight, and what happens when we move them for you. We recommend that you wear loose clothing for your appointment, as tight clothing can limit our ability to assess you.
Finally, we’ll look at your personal situation and recommend a treatment plan that gives you the best possible results.
Sometimes, we may feel that osteopathy isn’t the right solution. If that’s the case, we’ll let you know and refer you to your GP or another specialist, such as an orthopaedic surgeon.
