How much is a session of osteopathy?

Each session with the osteopath is £35 and lasts 40 minutes (concessions are available for genuine cases). Sleep therapy and Perrin Technique treatments are similarly priced.

What should I expect with the osteopath?

On the first visit to the osteopath a full case history will be taken followed by an examination. You may be asked to remove some of your clothing (not underwear) and will be taken through some movements and some simple bed side tests (eg reflexes, blood pressure etc). This information will be used to produce an osteopathic diagnosis or evaluation and from there a treatment programme. There is usually time for quite a bit of osteopathic treatment on the first visit.

How many osteopathic treatments will be needed?

This depends on what diagnosis the osteo gives. Some problems can be dealt with in one or two treatments, whilst some require more time. On average about 4-6 treatments will be needed.

Do you treat children and babies?

Yes. We have extensive experience of treating children & babies. We use a gentle method called cranial osteopathy.
