Your First Treatment
Please ensure that you arrive at least 5 minutes before the scheduled time of your initial appointment to enable you to complete our initial questionnaire form. Please bring any x-rays or scans with you to your appointment for review by your Osteopathic Practitioner along with any other relevant information regarding medication/s that you are currently taking or have taken in the past.
After Treatment Care
To help you achieve the most from your osteopathic treatment, we recommend that you follow these simple guidelines:
- It is not uncommon to be slightly sore after treatment so try to rest for a few hours following your appointment.
- Keep mobile (unless otherwise advised) with gentle activities and avoid sitting for long periods.
- Drink increased amounts of water to help rehydrate your body and flush toxins from your system.
- Avoid vigorous activity for a few days following your treatment.
- Please seek advice from your treating osteopath regarding these recommendations to ensure that they are appropriate for you.
