What can I expect from a consultation?

Nick uses a variety of techniques beneficial for muscle and joint pain, postural dysfunction and to promote recovery from injury. Techniques may include massage, stretching, manipulation, acupuncture, and cranial osteopathy.

The first consultation lasts for up to one hour where a full case history is taken, followed by a thorough postural and movement evaluation. Once a diagnosis is reached, Nick will discuss with you the most appropriate options relating to your care. If osteopathic treatment is felt to be appropriate, with your consent, a wide range of gentle manual techniques may be used. This may include massage, stretching and the movement of joints via gentle joint articulation or mobilization.

Treatment is tailored specifically for the individual and advice is given about how you can best help yourself to improve the problem and alleviate symptoms. Stretching, strengthening or mobility exercises may be prescribed, as well as advice on posture, diet, ergonomics and lifestyle.

Patients may be referred by their GP or can make an appointment with Nick independently without referral, by calling the clinic.
