What to expect at your appointment
Your first osteopathy appointment includes a full consultation, physical assessment and treatment.
Initial consultations are typically up to 60 minutes, allowing time for your osteopath to understand your symptoms, medical history and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to the problem.
Follow-up appointments are generally around 40 minutes and focus on continued treatment and progress.
Where appropriate, your osteopath may also provide advice on exercises, posture and lifestyle changes to support your recovery and help prevent future injury.
