For more information please see our FAQs which can help you to see how
osteopathy can help you to feel better again.
We give longer treatment session than most because we find the best results come
with the most careful and thorough approach. This way we can get to the bottom
of even the most complex and long term complaint. However, despite this we do
not charge any more than most. Before we offer you an appointment we will
discuss your or your child's case with you on the telephone to ensure
Osteopathy is a suitable treatment, If after this we are still not sure whether
Osteopathy would help, we may offer you a free 10 minute consultation at the
clinic.
Our charges are:
Adult's initial consultation (60 - 90 minutes) £55
Adult follow-up consultation (40 minutes) £38*
Children's initial consultation (60 - 90 minutes) £50
Children's follow-up consultation (40 minutes) £35*
*Family Rate: £5 off each follow-up consultation when a parent and child (or two children in
the same family), have follow-up consultations in the same fortnight. The fee
for each follow-up consultation would then be £30 for a child(ren) and £33 for an adult. Each person must first have had their Initial Consultation at
the normal rate. The child must still be in full-time education.
At the initial consultation a case history is taken, examinations are performed
as necessary, the first treatment is given and any exercises or precautions are
explained. At follow-up sessions there is a short interview followed by
treatment (exercises and precautions are reviewed as necessary). The number of
treatments required depends on how long the symptoms have been going on and how
many contributary factors exist.
The vast majority of patients who see an Osteopath will do so because of back or
neck pain.
Osteopathic treatment is widely regarded as the established treatment for
mechanical problems of the spine. NICE (the National Institute of Clinical
Excellence) guidelines recommend manual therapies including osteopathy for the
treatment of low back pain.
Osteopathy is a safe and natural approach to health care for all life stages.
Osteopaths use a variety of treatments techniques depending on the individual
patient, their symptoms, their response to treatment and the treatment type
they prefer. A specialised form of osteopathy known as Cranial Osteopathy is
gentle, yet effective and is ideal for the treatment of babies, young children
and adults with long term complaints.
Osteopaths consider you from a mechanical, functional and postural viewpoint
aiming to aid the body’s ability to function with a minimum of wear, stress and energy.
Osteopaths are highly trained and know what we can and cannot treat safely. We
take time and care to make sure we understand what is wrong and how we may
help. Osteopaths’ extensive training means that we can recognise conditions that may need medical
help or that may make osteopathic treatment inappropriate or unsafe. In these
cases we will refer you to your specialist or GP (with a detailed letter where
necessary).
Osteopathy is a refined and precise form of manual treatment that aims to relax
any tension throughout the whole body thereby restoring good movement to each
and every joint. Various techniques are selected by your Osteopath to acheive
the best results for you.
Techniques used vary from firm to extremely gentle and so Osteopaths may safely
treat people of all ages and throughout pregnancy.
Techniques may include deep massage (and other methods of
muscle tension release), passive stretching (i.e. you relax whilst
your osteopath stretchs you), joint release techniques of various
types, cranial osteopathy.
County Osteopaths are based at Offerton Barns Business Centre, Worcestershire.
