On the initial consultation the osteopath will take a detailed case and medical history.  A full examination and assessment follows where a variety of tests may be performed to establish a diagnosis to the complaint.  The patient may be asked at this stage to remove outer garments when appropriate in order for the osteopath to conduct this examination.  

When a diagnosis is complete, a treatment plan is advised and agreed between the patient and the osteopath.  This is likely to include techniques that ease soft tissue strains, a spinal manipulation (a ‘crack’) or if preferred a much gentler technique to release a problem joint and cranial techniques that patients generally find very relaxing.  Some home exercises may also be advised.  

Treatment plans are tailored to each individual depending on their complaint, occupation, age and general state of health.  Redhill Osteopathy is able to treat a wide range of conditions by working in co-operation with the patient.
