Frequently asked questions
What to expect when visiting our clinic
-
Detailed case history
We need to know as much about you as possible. We will ask questions about your current problem, any past conditions, general health, hobbies, sports and occupation.
Physical Examination
Here we will look at your posture as you stand, sit and move. As osteopaths we use our hands and refined sense of touch to assess the quality of your skin, the tension of your muscles and the movement and function of your joints. Simple neurological and cardiovascular screening may be necessary.
Diagnosis and Treatment
By now we will usually have enough information to formulate a diagnosis and if appropriate commence with treatment. During your treatment we will be able to discuss the cause of your problems and the long term management. Advice will be given and any questions answered.
-
Whilst treatment can sometimes be uncomfortable, patients often report how comforting it can be to be treated. Its not in our interests to hurt you so your osteopath will have constant dialogue with you to make sure you are happy with the treatment.
-
The most important part of the consultation is that you feel comfortable. Long gone are the days when the osteopath strips their patients down to their underwear. We may ask you to remove some of your clothing to so that we can best assess and treat appropriately. We are more than happy if you want to bring a chaperone into the treatment room.
-
We understand that life throws many obstacles in our path but would ask that you can give us 24 hours notice so that we can offer the appointment out to someone else. Appointments cancelled at less that 24 hours may be subject to a cancellation fee.
-
Whilst restrictions have eased across the UK our Covid procedures are very much in place. Mask wearing and hand sanitising are mandatory, touch areas are cleaned between appointments and good ventilation is available in all rooms.

Further Consultations £55.00
Subsequent treatments
Initially, we will want to know how you responded to the previous session. There will be a brief re-evaluation of your symptoms and diagnosis. These sessions will be much more treatment-based and there will be time to answer questions and concentrate on the management of your condition.
Some people respond well to one treatment, but we find most people benefit from 3-6 sessions. Chronic conditions sometimes require on-going maintenance, this can be once a month or twice a year.
