Initial Consultation
On our Online Booking portal this will show as either ‘First Time Initial Osteopathy Consultation’ or ‘Sports Therapy Initial Consultation’. This appointment is for when you attend The Spine & Sports Injury Clinic for the first time with a pain or injury to see either our Osteopath or Sports Therapist. These appointments last 45-60minutes and allows us to fully review and make comprehensive notes on all the necessary details including past medical history, the details of your pain complaint / injury so we fully understand your pain journey, an examination of the painful area and often commence hands on treatment. As part of this session we will fully discuss what we believe the issue is and what our plan of recovery looks like. Following on from this session any additional treatments will be ‘Follow On Treatments’. When you book for an initial consultation you’ll receive a confirmation email about the appointment and this will contain a link to one of our online new patient forms. If you are able to complete this before your session it allows our therapist to review some of your details and assists in the therapist being more efficient, covering more in your session.
We use this session to start your therapy journey and are able to address a wide range of pain concerns; whether sports or non-sports related, spinal based (neck or low back), joint related, muscle strain etc. If you’re unsure on how to move forward with making an appointment, please feel free to contact us directly and we will be more than happy to discuss you pain needs with you and advise on the best appointment to move you forwards. If you’d simply like to schedule an Initial Consultation then either use our Online Booking Portal or contact us directly.
