1Do I need a referral from my GP?
No, Osteopaths do not require a GP or consultant’s referral in order to address, diagnose and treat your condition or injuries. We might write a letter to your GP informing them of your condition, unless you request otherwise.
2I've made a booking online, is there anything else I need to do?

Once you’ve made an online booking you should receive a confirmation email (please contact us if you don’t). Within it you will find some useful information about your appointment (time, date, location), as well as a description of our terms and conditions.

You will be sent an Intake form where few questions regarding your overall medical history. It is important that you will spend few minutes of your time to answer to all the questions so that our practitioners will have the overall picture of your health conditions prior your arrival and they will be able to spend more time on the actual treatment you are coming for.

3What happens on my initial assessment?

An initial assessment usually takes around 60 minutes. It will consist of your history taking, a full physical examination of the body and problem area, treatment and advice.

To accurately examine you, your therapist may ask you to shed some clothing as they will need to see the affected area and often the joints above and below.

If subsequent visits are required this will also be discussed and an individually tailored treatment programme planned. The treatment type selected depends upon your specific requirements and may include many of the different methods listed on our “Services” tab.

Our aim is to reduce your pain, promote tissue healing and a rapid recovery. We will also educate you on how to avoid a reoccurrence of your problem. Follow up appointments will always involve an assessment of your progress as well as treatment.

4How long are the treatment sessions?

Initial consultations are 60 minutes and follow ups are usually 45 or 30 minutes depending on the patients need. If you feel you need longer than 45 minutes as a follow up please discuss that with your therapist.

*the Osteo-Massage combo is the only treatment offering a 90 minutes option

5How many treatments will I need?
Different conditions require different approaches. The number of sessions will depend on several factors, such as how long has the problem been there, how your body responds to treatment, how severe it is, etc. It will all be discussed with you during your first session and we will be completely transparent. If our answers bring up new questions please contact us at any time. We are here to help!
