Introduction
Osteopathy works with the structure and function of the body. It is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together. Osteopathy is recognised by the NHS as an Allied Health Profession. Osteopathy can be an effective treatment for both adults and children - please discuss treatment for babies and young people with our osteopathy team.
As a new patient, your session will take up to one hour and will involve an initial discussion about your symptoms, a full assessment and, of course, treatment. You’ll also be given advice and a home exercise plan if required. Follow-up sessions take around 40 minutes and will be mainly focused on treatment, making adjustments to your management plan where necessary.
How does Osteopathy work?
Treatment generally consists of gentle muscle release techniques, stretching, and joint mobilisation and manipulation (with your consent) where appropriate. The number of treatments needed depends on the condition and the individual, but you’ll never be asked or expected to book a minimum number of treatments.
All information gathered during your initial consultation, subsequent treatments and on-going management is completely confidential. Occasionally it might be necessary to consult your GP or another specialist of some kind but this will only ever be done with your consent.
