On your first visit you will be required to answer some questions about your medical history, as well as asking you about the symptoms or injuries that you are seeking help with. With your consent a physical examination will then be undertaken in the area(s) of your body that you are experiencing pain. The osteopath will make a diagnosis and discuss a course of treatment with you. This may involve visiting them a few times for manual therapy, some exercises that you can do by yourself and some lifestyle changes. Keith works very hard to make treatment as painless as possible, but you may experience some discomfort during and after treatment. Keith will warn you he thinks that the technique that he is about to use is likely to be uncomfortable and will stop if you tell him that you are feeling too much pain. Following treatment about half of patients report some mild soreness in the area of their body that was treated, this can usually be relieved with an over the counter pain killer and will go away within 48 hours. If you experience serious or unusual symptoms after treatment you should contact Keith straight away for advice.
