First you will sent forms to complete about your health and lifestyle. Your osteopath will then talk to you about your condition and how it affects your life. You will then be assessed by the osteopath, who will look at your spine and your muscles and may also perform some standard orthopaedic and neurological tests to find out what is causing your problem. Afterwards, your osteopath will discuss their findings and will customise a personalised treatment plan. Treatment will normally be given on this initial visit; customised exercise and lifestyle plans may also be given. It is important to note that it is usual for patients to be asked to undress down to underwear. This enables full examination and is essential for your osteopath to see how your spine works. Please bring shorts and a sports top or equally, wear loose clothing if you feel more comfortable. All children under 16 are legally required to have a chaperone present throughout all treatments. The chaperone must be an adult who has legal parental responsibility for them. Adults can also have a chaperone present during treatment.
