Back On The Move Osteopathy & Sports Therapy
What to Expect?
On Arrival
​
Upon arriving at the Leisure Centre, kindly inform the reception staff that you have an appointment with the Osteopath. They will assist you with access to the facility. Our clinic is conveniently situated on the ground floor, at the end of the long corridor, directly across from the changing rooms.
​
​
Your First Visit
​
The initial consultation typically lasts for approximately one hour, allowing us ample time to thoroughly assess your needs and provide comprehensive care. Follow-up treatments are generally around 30 minutes in duration, ensuring that we can address your concerns efficiently while still delivering effective treatment.
​
The Assessment
During your appointment, our team will discuss your condition with you, asking questions similar to those asked by a doctor. It would be helpful if you prepare a list of your current prescription medications. Please expect a thorough inquiry.
The physical examination will vary depending on the specific area of concern and your individual circumstances. Generally, it begins with observing your movements. You may be asked to remove some outer clothing (underwear is not removed) to facilitate a visual assessment of your posture.
Furthermore, tailored tests specific to your condition may be conducted. These tests require your active participation and feedback.
​
Report of Findings
​
We believe in clear communication and patient understanding. This involves explaining the diagnosis and, if osteopathic treatment is suitable, presenting the proposed treatment program. We are committed to providing honest information about expected outcomes and the estimated number of treatments that may be necessary. Ensuring that patients comprehend their condition and the treatment process is vital for achieving successful outcomes.
​
Treatment
Our approach combines various hands-on techniques such as manual mobilisation, manipulation, exercise therapy, laser therapy, shockwave therapy, and massage. In addition to these treatments, we provide comprehensive guidance and advice on targeted exercises to enhance your progress.
​
Follow-up session
​
During follow-up appointments, we prioritise continuous communication to evaluate the effectiveness of our treatment techniques. If an approach isn't producing desired results, we promptly adapt and modify our approach. Our primary objective is to swiftly alleviate your concerns. By implementing tailored strategies and interventions, we strive to minimise the need for extensive appointments.
