During your first osteopathic treatment, your osteopath will ask about your current problem, past medical and family history, and any medications you are taking. You will also need to fill out our new client forms. The osteopath will conduct a manual examination, clinical tests, and movement and postural assessments to diagnose and determine how to manage your condition. Please wear comfortable and loose clothing. The osteopath may examine the area that is troubling you as well as other parts of your body, as osteopathy takes a whole-body approach to assessment and clinical management. For example, if you have a sore back, your osteopath may also look at your knee, ankle, pelvis, and skull. Please allow up to 1 hour for your initial consultation. Additionally, you can book appointments online and explore corporate partnerships, referral programs, and loyalty rewards.

The number of osteopathy treatments you will need depends on the severity and nature of your condition, whether it is an acute or chronic injury. Every individual heals at a different pace. Our goal is to not only treat your symptoms but also to find the root cause and provide holistic care. Typically, acute conditions may require fewer sessions, while chronic issues might need ongoing treatment.

If your condition improves or worsens between consultations, or if there is a change in your medication dosage, it is important to inform your osteopath. This helps us adjust your treatment plan accordingly. Additionally, please arrive early for your first appointment to fill out the initial paperwork.

Your initial consultation may last around 60 minutes. Follow-up treatments are usually shorter, so please check the appointment length when booking your appointment.

Completing the paperwork allows your osteopath to record your medical history, which is crucial for understanding the severity of your condition and assisting in diagnosis and treatment planning. You will also be asked to provide your residential address and other relevant contact information. Additionally, under the law, an osteopath must obtain your approval to treat you, so you will be asked to sign an ‘informed consent’ form.
