Before you come to your initial appointment:
- Wear loose comfortable clothing
- Please bring any relevant X-rays / MRI reports
- If you take a lot of medication, please bring a list of all medication with you
- Be prepared to remove some of your outer clothing so I can examine you / the area of pain. If you are not comfortable with this, let me know. You are more than welcome to bring a chaperone to your appointments.
During the treatment:
- A thorough case history is taken followed by any relevant physical and orthopaedic examination.
- Treatment involves hands-on techniques, which will help your body to restore its natural alignment and function.
After the treatment:
- Most people feel increased movement and decreased muscle spasm / strain after treatment.
- It is common to feel tired after a consultation as your body is adapting to the changes made during treatment.
- Occasionally you may experience a period of 24-48 hours where your pain is exacerbated. Often this is your body adapting to its new position and there is no need for concern.
- Ensure you drink plenty of water and avoid too rich food (and alcohol) after your treatment.
- Avoid exercise to allow your body to use its energy to adapt to the changes that have been put through it.
