Assessment:

 

An Osteopathy Treatment Session always starts with a thorough Assessment.

The Manual Osteopath will look at posture, gate (= the way you walk), areas where pain occurs and he will look for area's where the range of is restricted.

Pain often is the result of a restriction in range of motion (often related to an injury or due to factors like a desk job).

This thorough assessment usually provides a clear picture on where the pain and restriction in Range of Motion occurs and what the underlying causes are.

​

Personalized Treatment Plan:

 

Every client is individual, unique and has different treatment requirements.

In general treatment plans are initially timed closer together (i.e. once per week or once per 2 weeks) to help with:

 

• Pain relief.

• Stimulating the healing process.

• Observing how the body reacts to treatment.

 

As your body adjusts and you improve, we are able to stretch out the time between treatments.

​

Relief:

​

One treatment can instantly give a relief of pain.

Other times it takes a couple of treatments to achieve a relief of pain.

​

 

It often takes a few more treatments to achieve a more permanent change in the underlying cause.

The frequency of treatments can be decreased after the client becomes pain free.

​

Commitment:

It is our commitment to enable you to live you life to the fullest.
