Osteopath Consultation & Treatment

Your osteopath will begin by understanding the events in detail that led up to your pain, what happened and how things have changed since onset of pain. I will look at posture, joints, muscle movement patterns/restrictions. I would recommend you wear a bra, vest, leggings or shorts. I will at first appointment ask questions about current problems, past injuries, operations, other investigations, sports and exercise routine and other medical care/ medication you have received.

 

Be aware that the case history part will taker about 90 minutes.

Benefits Of Osteopathy

Osteopath’s look for health in body and remove the underlying cause of pain rather than just treating the symptoms of pain. This is vital in minimising the chances of you having a recurrence of your problem. Osteopathic care can benefit you if you have muscle or joint pain, or if you are searching to improve your posture and general health.
