Initial consults can be daunting, but they shouldn’t be! Here is a brief overview of what to expect during your first consult.
At the beginning, your osteopath will ask questions about your current issue and symptoms. They may also ask about your health history, any medications you are taking, as well as factors that may not appear to be directly related to your problem. You may be asked to semi undress your area of concern so that they can examine and treat it. Wearing comfortable clothes or gym wear can be helpful. Your osteopath will then conduct a full assessment involving diagnostic, orthopaedic or neurological tests to postural assessments, movement and functional assessments, in order to understand your body fully.
It’s handy to know, that you don’t need a referral to see your osteo! Simply make an appointment and come as you are. Just make sure to bring your healthcare information and any scan results you currently have for your condition.
We look forward to seeing you.
