Your first appointment

You'll be welcomed by our friendly reception team and asked to complete a new patient form. In the treatment area, the osteopath will review your health, assess your posture and movement, and may gently examine the body. They’ll then discuss the diagnosis and treatment options before beginning osteopathic care. If follow-up is needed, you'll be advised to book another appointment. At reception, you'll be asked if you can make a donation towards the cost of treatment. As a charity, we rely on donations to support our clinic.
