The Benefits & advantages of being treated at The Family Osteopath
1 Hour First Consultation
this provides you and I loads of time to truly examine & understand what help you need, we'll discuss and hopefully put to bed any worries and fears about your condition and start treating you there and then to ensure that we arrive at the best solution to get you and keep you pain free and back to health as fast and effectively as possible.
As a cranial osteopathic specialist, there is NO clicking, crunching or painful treatments
I am not going to hurt you, I promise, treatments are inhibitory and designed to reduce your pain in working with you not against.
Over 17 years of practitioner patient handling experience
you're in good hands, I'm specialist in what I do and know how to get you pain free all within a friendly, caring and professional atmosphere.
Advice freely available on work and home life posture, exercises and rehabilitation
I know you're happy when you're pain free and can stay pain free, so any help I can offer you will be given so you're not left high and dry in a few weeks.
No need to undress
light flexible clothing can easily be worked around allowing you to enjoy your treatment in comfort whilst relaxed (light comfortable clothes are better though than skinny jeans and wooly jumpers!).
Choice of 30 or 60 minute follow up treatments
no one likes to be rushed, your health is the most important thing, so where appropriate, longer sessions are available. These are also great for my patients who travel from far and wide to have treatments, but also for cases where the faster pace of life is a contributing factor, relax, slow down, breathe, its all going to be alright.
Open Monday - Friday
I enjoy great professional relationship with local GP's and Consultants
so if in the unlikely event that your condition is either not progressing as we would expect, or I have concerns from the outset, a referral to the most suited healthcare professional or resource is easily on hand.
Pain free people are happier people
enjoy reinvigorated relationships with your family, friends and work colleagues.
Never go there again
you don't have to with a healthcare professional relationship like ours, I'll keep you on the straight and narrow.
Get answers
enjoy a true understanding of what is causing your pain and how it can be resolved, knowledge is a great stress relief and chances are you problem is simple to resolve.
Reduce your prescription medications
many of my patients have stopped relying on their daily dose of pain medications and realise how much better and organically healthier they feel; more energy, a bounce in their stride, mood lifted, back to their good old self. Look forward to starting the day with a yey as opposed to an ow!

So what will happen @ your first appointment?
Your first appointment will take up to an hour to complete and in nearly all cases we aim to spend a considerable amount of this time in treatment to start getting you better on the day.
You'll be asked questions to understand your present condition, how it came to be with you and how its affecting your life. Further interest will be taken about your overall medical picture, both past and present so that I can gain a true understanding of who you are and how you've come to be in pain today.
By this stage, I'll have a good idea what the problem you are experiencing is all about, and you'll be free to ask as many questions as you wish so that its firm in your mind too, in fact is worth mentioning that at any stage you can ask me questions, its your body, your appointment and its you that needs to be fixed.
Then you'll be asked to lie down, face up in most cases, on my treatment couch in the most comfortable position for you. It might then be required that I conduct further tests if appropriate.
Treatment options and likely outcome will then be chatted through with you and then treatment can begin (where appropriate that is).
At the end of the treatment sessions, a comparison as to how you were before treatment and how you are at the end will give us both a firm indication of whether you can be fixed and how long this might take all things being equal.
You'll end the treatment session with more answers than you started and for most of my patients feeling considerably easier of both body and mind, safe in the knowledge that someone else has your back.
A follow up appointment time/date will then be decided upon and booked there and then. For acute cases of discomfort, this should be within three to five days, for more chronic cases then anytime in the next week is best.
My personal guarantee to you
I've always said that anyone who guarantees 100% of their patients get better 100% of the time, is either a mad man or misguided!
Its true to say, in medicine as a whole, that people respond differently from one case to the next, for reasons that all of my medical colleagues and I agree, but are unsure why - it's a frustration all round!
However, I am more than happy to give you a guarantee of, 100% first class intentions & attention through my professionalism and commitment to improving your health picture right from the off.
I enjoy 100% of our patients being 100% happy with the way they've been treated at The Family Osteopath.

I nearly forgot to mention ...
Remember you're not alone in feeling pain and in experiencing difficulty carrying out your work and a whole host of other lifestyle activities you'd like to. It's understandable that your pain is making you miserable or worried, and feeling vulnerable like you're old before your time?
Stress is a massive contributor to you being in pain, but pain and lack of mobility in themselves are stressors too, particularly if you can't do the things in life you need or want to do.
You're in safe hands, I promise. I look forward to meeting and helping you and your family.
