Initial Examination

After the case history, you will generally be asked to remove some clothing so that a detailed functional and structural assessment can be made. This will include a static evaluation and simple mobility testing to assess how your whole body relates to your complaint.

Once the steps outlined above are complete, your Osteopath will decide whether treatment is appropriate for you. You may ask any questions which will help you to understand your diagnosis and treatment.

Do I need a referral from my GP?

A formal referral from your GP is not necessary, the majority of Osteopathic patients self-refer.

Will my Health Insurance Company pay?

We work with BUPA, PPP, HSA, CIGNA, Norwich Union, Remedi, Standard Life, WPA and BCWA. It may be possible to work with other Insurance Companies, please telephone your provider to confirm this.

You must provide your Osteopath with details of your healthcare policy prior to commencing treatment, so please remember to state this at the time of booking.

We regret that you may be liable for treatment costs where we are not notified in advance.
