What Should I Expect For My First Appointment?

Your first appointment starts with a conversation about what’s brought you in, your goals and any relevant medical history. We’ll then assess your movement, strength and the area of concern, with additional orthopaedic or neurological testing if required.

Once we have a clearer picture of what’s going on, we’ll explain our findings and work with you to develop a treatment and management plan. Treatment may include hands-on therapy, dry needling, cupping and exercise rehabilitation where appropriate.

Before you leave, you’ll have a clear understanding of what we’ve found, what you can do next and the plan moving forward.

If we believe further investigation or another healthcare provider would be more appropriate, we’ll discuss this with you.

What should I wear and bring to my appointment?

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily.

If you have any relevant scans, reports or medical information, feel free to bring them with you.

Hands-on assessment may occasionally require access to the area being examined, but you will never be required to remove clothing if you are uncomfortable. Just let your osteopath know.

How many sessions will I need?

This varies depending on your injury or condition, how long it has been present and what you want to get back to doing.

After your initial assessment, we’ll give you a clear recommendation and adjust your plan based on how you progress.

Our goal is to help you build the confidence and capacity to manage your body — not keep you coming in unnecessarily.
