Your first Visit

 Osteopathy is a way of detecting and treating damaged parts of the body such as muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints. When the body is balanced and efficient, just like a well tuned engine, it will function with the minimum of wear and tear, leaving more energy for living.

Your first visit will last approximately an hour. In this time, the osteopath will take a case history which includes taking detailed medical history and important information about your lifestyle and diet.

Once the case history has been taken you will be asked, if required, to undress to your underwear (or if you prefer you can wear shorts) and asked to perform a series of simple movements to allow the osteopath to make a full diagnosis and an individual treatment plan.

Treatment is through a range of stretching, mobilising and manipulative techniques. With added exercises and health advice, osteopaths help to reduce the symptoms and improve your health and quality of life.

If additional treatments are required these usually last half an hour.

Do ask questions at anytime during your consultation if you are unsure.

Do I need a GP referral?
No, however, if you wish to know more or are unsure if your complaint is suitable for osteopathic treatment please call and we can advise you on the appropriate treatment, whether that might be osteopathic or otherwise.






Our Practitioner

Paul Lewis B.Ost

Paul's approach includes both traditional joint manipulation and articulation (moving), muscle energy techniques (using the muscles to relax themselves), together with more gentle Cranial Osteopathic techniques, soft tissue massage and rhythmical movement techniques. Paul combines both classical and modern osteopathic approaches to health by treating patients as a whole and not just a collection of different body parts. Paul has a particular interest in treating breathing disorders and digestive problems. Paul is qualified and registered with the General Osteopathic Council.
