What To Expect In Your Appointment?
Introduction
First we meet! You talk and we'll listen. This is our opportunity to learn as much as we can about your complaint to set the direction for our treatment going forward.
Dotting the I's & Crossing the T's...
We take the opportunity to discuss the new patient consent form as well as any significant medical history that may be relevant. Your Osteopath will also explain what the appointment and related treatment options are likely to consist of from here on.
Examination & Assessment
Your Osteopath will begin a series of functional, movement and strength based tests in an effort to further clarify what your limitations may be, what we may be aiming to improve and most importantly, to clarify what we're treating!
Treatment
Every presentation is different, treatment methods vary depending upon your body, your past treatment experiences and your area + nature of complaint. Common examples of treatment modalities used may include articulation, stretching, soft tissue massage, dry needling and manipulation.
Education & A Tailored Management Plan
The fun part, building your home exercise tool-kit, empowering you and your body for future injury care and maintenance.
