VISITING AN OSTEOPATH On your first consultation a full case history will be taken and you will be given an examination. You will normally be asked to remove some of your clothing and carry out simple movements so that the Osteopath can assess your spine and posture. WHAT ABOUT TREATMENT? Osteopaths use their hands to carry out treatment with various techniques. These include stretching the muscles, connective tissue, rhythmic joint movements and manipulation. All of these aim to restore function, movement and alleviate pain. A session may take up to 45mins depending on the patient presentation and the type of treatment required. In 2011/12 Philip will become a Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner and complete a Diploma in Dry Needling and Clinical Acupuncture. Both of these skills will further the techniques available to him to compliment the rehabilitation process and manage pain. Treatment Fees £38.00 allow 45mins General Osteopathic Council |
