Osteopathy consultations are generally thorough, hands‑on, and focused on understanding how your body moves and functions as a whole.
Here’s what you can expect:
Your first appointment: intake and assessment
- Medical history: Your osteopath will ask about current symptoms, past injuries or surgeries, illnesses, medications, and family health history.
- Lifestyle and daily activities: They may inquire about work, sleep, exercise, stress, and any habits that affect your body (posture, repetitive movements, etc.).
- Symptom details: Location, onset, duration, intensity, triggers, and what makes it better or worse.
- General health checks: Blood pressure, heart rate, range of motion, posture, balance, and how you move.
- Observation: They’ll observe how you walk, sit, stand, and use your body in daily tasks.
