When you visit for the first time a detailed case history will be taken where we’ll ask questions about your symptoms, general health and medical history.
This will be followed by a physical examination including the area of pain which will normally require you to be asked to remove some of your clothing (gowns are provided), and to perform a series of simple movements. The osteopath will then use a highly developed sense of touch, called palpation, to identify any points of weakness or excessive strain throughout the body.
