Treatment & Examination
Osteopathy is a patient-centred system of healthcare.
A first appointment will last roughly 60 minutes to allow sufficient time for the osteopath to carry out the following:
Due to the physical nature of the treatment, it is not unusual to sometimes feel sore in the first 24 to 48 hours after treatment, as if you have been exercising harder than usual.
If you have pain in more than one place then it is more likely that you may feel some soreness for a day or two after treatment. Some patients also say that they can feel quite sleepy after a treatment.
The osteopath will explain any likely reactions that you could expect. If you have any concerns it is important to contact the clinic and ask for advice. It may require more than one visit before your problem is resolved.
Further Consultations
Some patients need only one appointment; others may have a course of therapy or return periodically for the long-term management of a condition. Normally the treatment of a patient is determined according to their progression rather than the prescription of a set number of treatment sessions.
