Your first osteopathy appointment

The first visit includes an assessment and, where appropriate, treatment. Allow 60 minutes for an initial visit. Reviews are 45 minutes.

What to wear

Wear clothes you can move in. Shorts and a T-shirt are usually enough. You can decline anything you are not comfortable with.

What to bring

Bring any GP letter or scan you already have, plus relevant imaging reports and a short list of medicines or conditions.

What happens

You describe the problem. Dr Choi examines movement, joints and related soft tissue. Hands-on treatment is chosen from that assessment. Nothing is applied without explanation and consent.

You leave with a short plan, including what to ease off for a few days, what to keep doing, and any home exercises.
