Other Services
Within the clinic we offer a different range of treatments to other practitioners, including Massage, Reflexology and Reiki
Treatments
A variety of techniques are used depending on the patient's age, health and location of the pain. This may involve:
All techniques take into account your preferences and health so that you remain comfortable at all times.
The Consultation
The initial appointment will take approximately one hour, during which a full case history will be taken. This will consider significant medical events in your life, any medication which you may be taking and any pre-existing conditions which you may have.
I will also discuss work and leisure activities which may be causing or exacerbating your pain. This will be followed by a full physical assessment, during which I may ask you to dress down to your underwear. Towels are available to ensure you remain comfortable during treatment. Alternatively you may wish to bring a chaperone along. This will help to inform an individually tailored treatment plan which will be agreed with you prior to treatment. I will also give you an estimate of how many treatments should be necessary.
Subsequent appointments will be slightly shorter, at 30 to 40 minutes each.
If we cannot treat your condition effectively, we can refer you to other medical professionals who may be able to help you. If in doubt, please discuss with us on the telephone.
Principal David Webster BSc Hons (Ost) PGDip has also undertaken post graduate training in Cranial Osteopathy and Visceral Osteopathy. Professional development is a continuing process as new techniques are regularly introduced.
Please contact us or visit us at our clinic for some friendly, professional advice.
