In the comfort of your home

All online Osteopathy consultations start with well-structured series of questions designed to discover what they need to know about your musculoskeletal health issue (without touching you obviously). By the end of the subjective assessment, the osteopathy will have a very clear idea of your probable diagnosis. The osteopath may then ask you to perform some tests to confirm this diagnosis.

Your online osteopath may prompt you to answer further questions, or perform certain movements, and will then assess your feedback regarding these. This process should clarify diagnosis. If we are ever unsure of your diagnosis, we will not hesitate to refer and guide you to an on site Osteopathic Hand-on Treatment appointment, imaging if needed or your GP.

The process of booking a session and having the consultation online is simple! You only need to have an email address, access to a computer, ipad or smart phone with access to microphone and video, and credit card for payment.

HISTORY TAKING - Your practitioner will run through a thorough history, including asking about the reason for your online visit, your medical history, previous and current treatment, exercises you may be doing, and how you are affected by your aches/pains/injury. Importantly, we will discuss your goals of the session, what you would like to achieve from treatment along with your longer term health goals.

ASSESSMENT -  We will then go through a thorough physical assessment, which may include you going through various ranges of movement, replicating practical tests, and demonstrating movements and situations that involve your area of concern. 

PROVISIONAL DIAGNOSIS -  After assimilating all of the information from your history and assessment, your practitioner will discuss with you a provisional diagnosis, ie. what's going on with your body. Our aim is to help you understand your current health, what is going right and wrong, what factors might have contributed to any issues and what might be maintaining your current situation.

HEALTH MANAGEMENT - This is where we offer a plan for improving your health, including aims, goals for both short and long term. We will discuss together what we can do now and in the future, looking at options which may include modifying various activities of daily living (eg. sleep position, desk ergonomics), home exercises and stretches, self treatment via muscle release techniques and self-massage.
