What to expect during your first visit?

We will ask you about your symptoms and any factors that may have caused the problem. Details about your lifestyle, daily activities and hobbies are also important. Examinations involve testing of your muscles and joints. We may ask you to perform a few simple movements to assess your movement pattern and posture.

It may be necessary to remove clothing around the symptomatic area. If you would feel more comfortable, bring shorts or a vest to wear during the treatment session. Parental consent and chaperones are required for all patients under 16.

If our services such as osteopathy, sport rehabilitation, podiatry, acupuncture or sports massage are not appropriate for you then we will direct you to the appropriate professional with your consent.

Duration of your treatment

The initial consultation takes 45 minutes and follow-up treatments can take 30-45 minutes. Usually 2 to 6 treatments are needed depending on the injury. Many patients decide that they would like to have periodic preventative treatment to avoid recurring problems.
