A little more clarity.
Practical answers before an appointment. For personal medical advice, speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
Do I need a GP referral?
You can normally contact an osteopath directly. We would discuss whether the appointment is appropriate and whether another healthcare professional should be involved.
What happens at a first appointment?
We talk about your goals and relevant history, explain the assessment and ask for your consent. Any treatment options and likely next steps are discussed with you.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing that allows you to move is helpful. We explain any clothing adjustments before an assessment, and you can ask questions or decline at any time.
Can I bring someone with me?
You can ask about bringing a friend, relative or chaperone. Tell the practice when arranging your appointment so suitable arrangements can be discussed.
Will I need several appointments?
There is no fixed course promised here. A practitioner would explain their recommendation, review it with you and discuss alternatives.
Is my online request a confirmed booking?
No. It is a request for a preferred appointment. This fictional demo sends and stores nothing; on a real site the practice would confirm the details with you.
Still have a question?
Choose a topic and one way for a practice to reply.
