What happens at an osteopathy appointment?

Soโ€ฆwhat actually happens at an appointment with me? ๐Ÿค”

Initially, we spend some time just talking about what brought you to me. I ask you a few questions so you can tell me how you are feeling and anything that you feel it is important for me to know. I also ask you about your medical history and make sure that I know everything I need to know so that I can treat you safely. โ“๐Ÿ“

Next, examination. This part is where we find out why you are feeling your aches/pains. I will spend some time looking at your posture, watch your overall movements and if needed perform a few โ€˜tests,โ€™ all to work out what is going on with your body and identify things that are contributing to your pains. ๐Ÿง

Then treatment (and homework!). I use different techniques all which aim to relax muscles, strengthen muscles, increase movement and ultimately help to reduce your pains. As part of treatment we may go through some โ€˜homework,โ€™ which is often really simple changes or exercises that you can incorporate in to your everyday life that will help you when you are not at an appointment. ๐Ÿ’†๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ

And itโ€™s as simple as that! ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜€

It can be a bit daunting if youโ€™ve not been to an Osteo/practitioner before, but remember that I am here to help you feel better, and help you get back to doing the things you want to! ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿพ

Any questions then give me a shout ๐Ÿ—ฃ
