Your practitioner will discuss your health history, current concerns and goals, followed by an assessment of your movement and areas of discomfort. They will explain the proposed treatment and obtain your consent before proceeding.

As with any treatment, osteopathic care carries potential risks. Some people may experience headaches, muscle aches or soreness, joint discomfort or tiredness following treatment. Your practitioner will discuss relevant risks with you before you consent to care. Please let them know about any symptoms or concerns following your appointment.

Osteopathic treatment uses manual techniques involving contact between the practitioner’s hands or body and your body. Clothing remains on throughout treatment.

When appropriate, assessment and treatment may involve areas such as the chest wall, pelvic region or face. Your practitioner will explain the proposed treatment and ask for your explicit consent before contacting these areas.

Different parts of the body work together and can influence one another. Amanda considers the body as a whole, so assessment and treatment may include areas beyond where you feel discomfort. She will explain the proposed treatment and obtain your consent before proceeding.

Absolutely. You are encouraged to ask questions and share any concerns or preferences. You can decline any part of treatment, request adjustments or withdraw your consent at any time. Techniques can be modified, avoided or stopped according to your comfort and wishes.

The number of treatments varies according to your concerns, health history and response to care. Your practitioner will discuss recommendations following your assessment and reassess as you progress. Individual responses vary, and treatment results cannot be guaranteed.

No. Osteopathic Manual Therapy is not a substitute for a medical examination or care from your physician. Please consult your physician about any health concerns.
