Your first visit
What to expect
We talk it through
Your symptoms, medical history, work and activity, and what you want to get back to.
Assessment
I look at how you move and test the area. You may be asked to undress to your underwear or wear shorts and a vest top, so I can see how you move. Tell me if you'd prefer not to.
Treatment and a plan
With your consent, hands-on treatment, then exercises and advice to take home, and how many sessions are likely to help.

Questions
Before you book
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly. If I think you need to see your GP or another specialist, I'll tell you and can write a letter for them.
Can I claim on my health insurance?
Many insurers cover osteopathy, but policies vary. Check with your insurer before you book, as some need a GP referral or a pre-authorisation number.
Can under-16s be treated?
Yes. Patients under 16 must come with a parent or guardian, who stays with them as a chaperone for the whole appointment.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes you can move in. Shorts and a vest top work well. You're welcome to bring someone with you.
Is it osteopathy or sports massage I need?
If you have pain or an injury you want assessed, book osteopathy. If you mainly want tight muscles worked on, sports massage is a good fit. If you're unsure, book osteopathy.
