Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis that treats and prevents a wide range of health issues. These include, but are not limited to joint pain, neuromuscular conditions, digestive conditions, headaches and migraines.
Osteopathic practice is a safe and effective form of treatment which may consist of a combination of movement, stretching, targeted deep tissue massage and manipulation of muscles and joints.
Your treatment plan will be based on what you as an individual need to improve function, relieve pain and aid recovery.
Your osteopath will ask about your current symptoms and medical history. Your osteopath will examine you to reach an osteopathic diagnosis. Your osteopath will also assess your range of movement and feel for changes in your muscles and joints. You may be asked to dress down the area(s) of your body causing concern for examination and some clinical tests which may cardiovascular and neurological screening. If you are uncomfortable undressing to your underwear for the examination then we ask that you bring clothing such as shorts and a T-shirt along.
Our purpose-built clinic is run by third and fourth-year student osteopaths, and students in other years may observe as part of their training. Our qualified tutors supervise the student osteopaths to ensure that diagnosis and treatment are safe and effective. You can see the same student osteopath, for continuity, up to a maximum of 6 times. This is to ensure our students see a variety of patients and conditions during their clinical training.
Your treatment plan will be discussed with you and recommendations made; referrals to other healthcare professionals such as your GP may be made at this time.
Osteopathic treatment is usually very gentle, however, you may experience mild discomfort afterwards, but in most cases, this will pass within 24 hours. If you have any concerns about your treatment you are encouraged to discuss them further with your osteopath.
