What To Expect?
When you Visit Orchid Osteopathy
Osteopathy can be provided independently or from a referral by a medical professional.
On your first visit, a full detailed medical case history is taken of symptoms, previous history, diet and lifestyle. The affected area is examined along with other related structures of the body, and an examination of your posture. This all involves going through simple movements and palpating muscle tension to allow a diagnosis to be made. The diagnosis and an osteopathic treatment plan will then be discussed with you.
