 First consult...
This first time you come into the clinic we allow 45minutes; this gives us a good amount of time to get to know you and what's brought you in!
The initial 10-15minutes are spent getting a good idea of what's been happening to cause you pain and then take an overall health history to understand if something else is playing a part in what's brought you in. From here we go to an assessment of not just the injured area but also surrounding structure to align with osteopathic principles. This assessment then allows us to tailor treatment to you specifically whilst discussing future management plans & goal for us to work towards 

 The return consults...
The time we use to check in; see how you felt post your last consult and what's changed. We use these 30minutes to re-assess how your body has adapted to treatment and any potential exercise rehabilitation provided whilst considering any concerns or new goals you may have 

Yes we do!

During the consult we may ask you to partially disrobe. A gown is available if preferred & during treatment we will use towels to cover as much as possible. It is recommended that you wear loose fitting pants/tops that you are comfortable moving in. If possible, women should wear bras that may unclasp at the back where appropriate.
