Your First Visit

What to expect

Never seen an osteopath before? Here's exactly what happens. No surprises.

1

We listen to your story

Your appointment begins with a thorough conversation about your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and what you're hoping to achieve. We understand you as a whole person, not just the area that hurts.

⏱ This takes around 15 minutes
2

Physical assessment

We carry out a hands-on examination to assess your posture, range of movement, and identify the root cause. We may ask you to perform some simple movements so we can observe how your body is functioning.

👕 Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing
3

Hands-on treatment

Using a combination of soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, and gentle manipulation, we work to relieve tension, improve mobility, and reduce pain. Treatment is always tailored to your comfort level.

💬 You're always in control. Just say if anything is uncomfortable.
4

Your plan going forward

We explain what we've found, give you a clear diagnosis, and recommend a treatment plan including stretches, exercises, and lifestyle advice to support your recovery between sessions.

📋 Most patients see significant improvement within 2 to 4 sessions
