About the Service
About Osteopathy in Longfield
Osteopaths can help you with both treatment and advice on self-help.
Osteopaths treat acute and chronic pain and can help prevent pain from recurring.
A detailed case history will be taken during the initial consultation and a thorough examination is necessary before a diagnosis can be made.
Follow up treatments last approximately 30 minutes and are individually tailored to each patient. The number of treatments needed depends on the diagnosis and may vary from a single session to a course of treatments.
The techniques used during treatment can range from specific to general and from firm to gentle. Where appropriate, advice is given to maximise treatment. This can be in the form of prescribed exercises, stretches and postural or lifestyle advice.
