How will I feel after treatment?
We aim to improve function, pain and mobility to our patients with every treatment. Occasionally, you may be more aware of your symptoms for a short time following treatment. This is due to the chemical release of substances within the tissues associated with making a change in the body. This is a normal response and will resolve within 24-48 hours.
What should I wear?
Depending on the area of your body requiring treatment, your Osteopath may ask you to undress to your underwear. Shorts are provided, however, you may bring your own. It is important that you feel comfortable, and draping with towels during treatment is performed.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No, you do not. Many patients are referred to osteopaths by their doctors, other health practitioners or personal trainers. However, as osteopaths are primary care practitioners, you can make an appointment directly without a referral.
