What does treatment involve?
Osteopathic treatment often involves manual therapy – a range of gentle hands-on techniques that focus on releasing tension, stretching muscles and improving mobility – together with exercises and guidance designed to help you relieve or manage your pain, keep active and maintain the best of health.

Before an osteopath starts...
Before an osteopath starts any treatment, they will explain what is involved so you can agree and consent to your course of treatment. You will also be asked to sign an informed consent declaration at every visit, but your ongoing verbal consent will be sought throughout treatment regardless, and you will always be given the opportunity to change your mind at any stage.
Osteopathic treatment is usually a very gentle process. There may be times when you experience discomfort during or experience some mild soreness after treatment. This will normally go away within 48 hours. Your osteopath will let you know if they think that any of the techniques they recommend are likely to be uncomfortable.
If you experience serious or unusual symptoms after treatment, you should contact your osteopath straight away for advice.
Osteopaths often work with or refer you to other healthcare professionals as needed to ensure you receive the most appropriate care and treatment.
