What to bring with you to an Osteopathy treatment
What to bring to your Osteopathy treatment
In order to get the most out of your treatment, it is a good idea:
to bring a list of current medications and copies of any relevant X-Rays and MRI scans
to wear comfortable, loose clothing
to be aware that you may need to undress briefly in order to view joints
to make me aware, in advance, of any special needs you might have (e.g. wheelchair access)
to make me aware of any ongoing care from other practitioners
to discuss any concerns, or state any specific expectations with me over the telephone before your treatment
What to Expect
Most problems will see an improvement, or indeed be resolved within three visits (dependent on how chronic the problem is).
Realistic expectation:
First Visit – a one hour consultation/examination, plus a short treatment.
Follow up visits – approximately 3/4 hour consultation, entailing a discussion of progress, re-examination, plus advice on exercise, posture and lifestyle changes. If required, further treatment will take place.
Additional Information
You may bring a close friend or relative with you. You will be given a consent form prior to any hands on treatment.
