Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, these therapeutic options are generally very safe. Osteopaths complete a rigorous four-year training program that equips them with in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology. They specialise in musculoskeletal disorders and are well-prepared to recognise any contraindications related to these treatments. If any concerns arise during your consultation, we will explore alternative treatment options to ensure you receive the most suitable care. Rest assured, you are in capable hands!

The number of sessions you’ll need will depend on your specific condition and how long you have been experiencing it. Acute conditions typically require only a few treatments, while subacute and chronic conditions may need additional sessions. If beneficial, we may also suggest regular maintenance treatments at varying intervals. Your practitioner will assess your individual needs and discuss the best approach with you. Our primary goal is to help you feel better as quickly as possible!
Absolutely! In your initial consultation, your therapist will ask you a series of medical questions and perform a comprehensive examination of the affected areas. Following this, you may receive a diagnosis along with a treatment plan, which will include treatment during your first appointment.
Treatments such as osteopathy, massage, shockwave therapy, taping, cupping, and dry needling may cause some post-treatment discomfort. Occasionally, mild bruising may occur, although this is rare. Any soreness you experience should not last more than a few days following the treatment.
Our award-winning team of therapists is equipped to manage a wide array of musculoskeletal issues, such as neck pain, upper and lower back pain, joint pain, muscle pain, sports injuries, neuralgic pain, tendinopathies, sprains, postural pain, and headaches.

In such cases, we will refer you to a specialist who can provide additional support.
You may be asked to partially undress during your consultation. We prioritise your comfort and will never ask you to undress beyond your comfort level. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing suitable for manual therapy sessions, such as loose shorts, sports bras, or vests.
