First Osteopathy Consultation
Your First Osteopathy Consultation
Your very first visit with us usually takes about 45 minutes, and it's all about getting to know you and understanding how we can best help.
Let's Chat About Your Health
We'll begin with a friendly chat about your medical history. Your osteopath will ask about what's brought you in, any past health concerns, your daily lifestyle, and if you're taking any medications. This helps us get a complete picture of your health journey.
A Gentle Look at How You Move
Next, we'll move on to a physical examination. To make this easier, we might ask you to undress to your underwear or wear some comfy, loose clothing. Please know that your comfort and privacy are always our top priority. We'll gently guide you through some simple movements to see how you move and observe your posture. Sometimes, we'll do a few specific orthopaedic tests to help us pinpoint what's going on. It's also quite common for us to gently check areas of your body that aren't hurting, as the real source of your discomfort can sometimes be hiding elsewhere!
Understanding and Planning Your Care
Once we've had a good look, your osteopath will clearly explain what we've found and chat about what might be contributing to your symptoms. Then, we'll work together to create a personalised treatment plan just for you. If it feels right, we can often begin treatment during this very first visit. Our osteopathic treatment is wonderfully hands-on and can include soothing soft tissue massage, gentle joint movements, or even some stretching techniques. Every step of the way, your treatment will be completely tailored to your unique needs, and we'll also share some helpful self-care tips and exercises you can do at home to boost your recovery. We're here to support you on your path to feeling better!
