What to Expect from Treatment

Each treatment is tailor-made for your individual needs.

The first treatment is a double appointment where a detailed case history is taken including details about your lifestyle and diet. The Osteopath will undertake a physical exam and clinical test including blood pressure and reflexes.  You will also be asked to perform a few simple movements. This will confirm that you are safe to treat and ensure that we provide an appropriate treatment for your particular problem.

Treatment will involve a variety of techniques including articulation, manipulation of the joints and muscles through massage, stretching and other ostepathic techniques. Mary Jolly will also offer acupuncture if it is appropriate. Treatment includes advice on exercise and management of the injured area.

Follow up bookings may be necessary, dependent on each case.

Pre Treatment advice

It is not advisable to eat a heavy meal 2 to 3 hours before a treatment.

A doctor’s consent is required before treatment for people on medication or suffering from a serious medical condition.

In order to undertake a complete examination you will be required to undress to your underwear. Please ensure that you are clean and wearing supportive underwear.
