An initial consultation takes approximately 60 minutes. During this appointment a full case history will be taken, a physical examination conducted and you will be provided with a diagnosis and an initial treatment.

Osteopathy is a holistic approach. It is usual for the whole body to be assessed and treated and therefore you may be asked to undress to your underwear so please dress appropriately. You may wish to bring some shorts to change into for the duration of the treatment. Your dignity will of course be respected at all times.

It would be useful (but not essential) if you could bring along with you any of the following:

• The name and address of your GP.
• The details of any prescription medications you are currently taking.
• Any x-rays or scans you may have.
• A pair of shorts as you may be asked to undress to your underwear.
