On your first visit, before your treatment, I will ask you a series of questions to take a case history. You will often be asked to perform a series of simple movements while I examine you. I will also use my sense of touch to identify points of weakness and strain. Most patients undress to their underwear but I do provide gowns if you prefer.

The treatment will involve a combination of manipulation, massage, stretching and cranial osteopathic techniques. Exercises may be recommended.

The number of treatments will vary on a case by case basis and I should be able to give you an indication after your first consultation. For some acute pain maybe two or three treatments will be sufficient whereas chronic conditions may need ongoing maintenance.
