During your consultation, your osteopath will assess your condition and explain the type of treatment that will help to decrease your symptoms. The osteopath will then commence treatment, which may include gentle, non-invasive applications such as deep tissue massage, joint articulation and manipulation. Your consent will always be obtained before any techniques are undertaken. You may also be given advice on how to compliment your osteopathic treatment, such as exercise, diet, posture at work or applying hot or cold packs.
