Your first consultation will involve a lot of active listening, integral to the taking of an extensive medical history and physical assessment.
Generally after an understanding is gained surrounding medical history, patient based goals and needs, a comprehensive physical assessment is preformed (including standard orthopedic and neurological examinations)to arrive at a reasonable diagnosis and treatment is tailored from a wide range of modalities that exist within the osteopathic spectrum.
This isn't a sequence or one size fits all- every treatment is different because everybody is different! Treatment modalities can include direct and indirect soft tissue, myofascial methods, deep tissue inhibition, massage, manual stretching, respiratory based techniques, joint manipulation and mobilization, counterstrain, craniosacral and usually include some take home tools and advice.
We are proficient in the various modalities of osteopathy - joint mobilisation, muscle energy technique, dry needling, cranio-sacral, myofascial release and counterstrain. We also have our own particular interests and passions, such as senior care, women's health, paediatrics, sports medicine, rehabilitation and fertility management.
Unless your condition requires immediate referral to another type of healthcare provider, a standard, complete treatment is always offered on the first visit.
Your first visit includes:
-A face-to-face 40 minute consultation.
-Comprehensive examination with standard neurological and orthopedic tests.
-Meaningful diagnosis and explanation, with no jargon, scare mongering or sales pitch.
-A realistic and affordable treatment plan
-Referral to appropriate health care professionals such as a GP's, Exercise Physiologist, Physiotherapists etc, when needed.
-Hands-on treatment and sensible advice in that first visit.
-This commitment is applicable to all patients.
