Osteopathy & Your Treatment

Your first treatment
Your first treatment will include a detailed case history, exam and diagnosis (where possible). Then treatment and most likely some exercises. We’ll be asking you about your lifestyle including sleep, stress levels and nutrition as this will all have an impact your improvement.
What is osteopathy
The idea of osteopathy is to holistically restore structure and function to the body. This means to look at the body as a whole and find the reasons WHY something is hurting, with the idea that everything is connected and can effect elsewhere in the body.
This can range from tight muscles, locked up joints, poor range of movement, strength or posture; to outside factors such as incorrect nutrition, stress, exercise.
We work with the whole body – not just neck and back pain. But knees, feet, wrists, headaches and jaw pain and even things like sinus and breathing problems.
Techniques during an osteopathy session can include soft and deep tissue work, manipulation, stretching, fascial release and of course – active work from yourself.
Osteopathy is helpful for almost everyone from; sportspeople, expectant mothers, the elderly, children and babies, people suffering chronic or acute pain, or just your everyday work-related problems!
What to expect from your treatment
Your initial treatment will be a longer session – it is a really good chance for us to learn about your body and lifestyle. You’ll be asked question through a case history about your pain and your medical history. We will then have examine how your body feels and moves and hopefully at that point be able to tell you a little more about what’s happening within your body.
We will then treat different areas and explain why we are doing this. You will likely be given some things to do at home and plan for the future.
We try to explain things thoroughly through your treatment, but we always welcome questions if you aren’t sure at any point.
Osteopaths have 4 years of extensive training and a sound medical knowledge – if we feel something is not right we may suggest speaking to your GP. We never XRAY as routine but only if needed and never suggest paying upfront for a set of sessions – as the hope is we will get you better quickly.
Some people choose to come in every few weeks or months – but this is never pushed upon you, it is only if you feel it helps make you feel better.
We aim for this to be a positive experience that you enjoy!
