When you come in to see me:

• A complete history is taken including health problems, physical traumas, medications, surgeries, lifestyle habits and beliefs.
• A physical examination is performed using palpation to discover areas of imbalance or dysfunction.
• Various techniques are then used to correct dysfunction and enhance the function and flow of blood, lymph and nerves to that part of the body. For more information on the various osteopathic techniques used see Jargon explained section
• Discussion and counselling about nutrition, lifestyle habits, stress factors and emotional issues.
• A plan is made to promote the healing process and may include exercises, follow up or referrals.
