On your first visit, we ask you to arrive a few minutes early to read and complete some consent forms. We will then have a discussion about your problem and your goals, followed by a thorough assessment to find out the reason / cause of your problem. We will then be able to start the correct treatment. We will always give some advice for you to follow at home, so you can continue your recovery away from the clinic as well.
An Osteopath is a skilled practitioner in physical therapy, which encompasses a wide range of treatment techniques, see list below. Your practitioner will suggest and be guided by your preference as the right techniques and modalities which will be used within the session.
- Osteopathy
- Corrective Exercise Prescription

- Deep tissue / sports massage
- Joint mobilisations and muscle stretching
- Joint manipulations
- Dry needling
- Therapeutic Ultrasound
- Electrotherapy
- Sports Taping
Please wear something comfortable and relatively loose fitting. We will likely need to see the area which is giving you problems, and any active testing which we may ask you to do will be easier in freely moving clothing.
Following a thorough assessment and discussion about your medical history, we can advise if you should avoid a particular treatment modality. However, most forms of manual therapy are relatively safe. If you have a particular concern please contact us before booking and we can discuss the safety over the telephone.
