Who do our Osteopaths treat ?

Surveys of Osteopathic practises underlined the wide range of patients treated:

• Half suffer from back pain
• Over half are women
• A quarter are in their Forties
• Many are elderly (we’ve treated up to 90 years old)
• Many problems relate to work
• Many have sports related problems
• Pregnant women right up to birth.
• Children & babies (we’ve treated from 5 days old)

When you visit an Osteopath for the first time

• you will give a full medical history (list of medication being taken, other aches/pains, current/former illnesses, etc).
• you will be given a physical examination.
• you will normally be asked to remove some of your clothing, (you may need to get undressed
  to your underwear, so please wear undergarments that you feel comfortable in).
• you will normally be asked to perform a simple series of movements, so that your mobility can
  be assessed and points of weakness identified.
  

This musculo-skeletal assessment will be considered alongside lifestyle factors, such as work, and leisure activities, to enable: a full diagnosis, the most suitable treatment plan.
