What to expect

During an initial osteopathic consultation, a thorough case history is taken allowing the osteopath to gain insight into your condition, individual goals and how to achieve them through a tailored management plan.

The case history will assist the clinician in forming a diagnosis further guiding their clinical examination. 

After the examination your clinician will explain the detailed findings as well as discussing the best possible course of action.

Treatment may include

  • Hands-on treatment (including massage and joint articulation or manipulation) 

  • Rehabilitation and exercise prescription 

  • Dry needling 

  • Pain science education
