Your First Visit
The Consultation and Case History
Your first consultation will take approximately one hour, and follow
up treatments are 20 minutes.
We will take a comprehensive case history. Please tell us
everything we need to know not only about your health condition,
but your lifestyle and habits as well. This information will help us
in assessing your condition and ensuring that your symptoms are
not part of a more serious condition.
Examination and Computerised Scan
The case history will be followed by a comprehensive series of
orthopaedic, neurological and osteopathic tests. This will help us
to discover exactly what is causing your pain. Finally postural
photos and computerised analysis will be performed to look for
any postrual problems that may be leading to your symptoms.
Come Prepared
Bring any medical notes, results or x-rays you may have in your possession. We will need the
full hour to complete the examination and treatment.
You will need to undress, a gown will be provided. You can also always bring a friend or partner
to your appointment. We do take digital photos of your posture, if you are uncomfortable doing
so in your pants and or bra, please either bring a swim suit, some shorts and a sports bra, or
something you will feel comfortable with.
Your First Treatment
We will then be able to make a diagnosis and discuss the ways in which Osteopathy can benefit
you. If we feel that there are no serious health concerns and that you are safe to treat, you will
then receive your first treatment. Each session is tailor-made to the individual and will consist of
soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, and stretching techniques, all performed gently and
safely. We will then give you advice on how to continue your improvement in between
appoinments.
On your second visit we will review all of the exam findings from your first visit so that you
understand your condition, and continue with your treatment.
