The standard fee for an osteopathy session is <\/span>\u20ac70<\/span><\/strong>, with a duration of approximately <\/span>50 minutes<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n It is a hands-on approach to care that considers physical discomfort, movement and each person\u2019s individual circumstances.<\/p>\n At my practice, I combine conversation, examination and manual techniques with recommendations tailored to your situation. Together, we agree on goals and review your progress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n You can seek care for muscle or joint discomfort, such as back pain, neck pain or stiffness that affects your activities.<\/p>\n We first assess whether the care I offer is appropriate for you or whether you need to consult another professional. Not all causes of discomfort can be addressed through manual techniques.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n We discuss your reason for visiting, health history, medication and previous treatments. I then carry out an examination adapted to your situation.<\/p>\n I explain what I propose to do, the expected benefits, risks and alternatives. When hands-on work is appropriate and you give your consent, we begin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n No intervention is entirely risk-free. Temporary discomfort may occur after a session, and some techniques also carry rare but serious risks.<\/p>\n Osteoporosis, anticoagulant medication, recent injuries and other circumstances may mean that certain techniques need to be adapted or avoided. That is why it is important to review your health history before starting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n No. I can use different techniques, including gentle contact, joint mobilisation and soft tissue work.<\/p>\n If you prefer to avoid manipulation, let me know. We choose from the options appropriate for your situation, and you can decline or stop any technique.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n This depends on your reason for seeking care, your goals and how you progress. I cannot guarantee that a problem will resolve within a fixed number of sessions.<\/p>\n We review whether there are worthwhile changes and agree on when a follow-up makes sense. If you do not improve, we reconsider the approach and whether another assessment is needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n You do not routinely need X-rays or an MRI scan before attending.<\/p>\n If you already have reports or test results related to your symptoms, you can bring them along. If I believe you need a medical assessment before hands-on work, I will explain why.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Care needs to be adapted to each situation and take your obstetric or paediatric care into account.<\/p>\n Before booking, send me a message stating how many weeks pregnant you are or your child\u2019s age, along with the reason for your enquiry. This helps us assess what care is appropriate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Osteopathy does not replace treatment by a dentist or orthodontist, and it cannot promise changes to the alignment of the teeth or jaw.<\/p>\n Jaw or neck discomfort can be assessed separately and, where appropriate, care can be coordinated with the professional overseeing your treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n These names describe different approaches and techniques within osteopathic practice. They do not all have the same level of scientific support, and not every approach is suitable for everyone.<\/p>\n The choice depends on your reason for seeking care, the assessment and your preferences. I will explain the proposed approach and its limitations before we begin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n There is no compulsory schedule that applies to everyone. Sessions should address a need and offer a specific benefit.<\/p>\n If you feel well, you can continue looking after yourself through physical activity, rest and the health checks appropriate for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n It does not replace medical care, prescribed physiotherapy or any psychological treatment or medication you need.<\/p>\n You should not stop or change your medication because you are attending an osteopathy session. Where appropriate, care is coordinated with other professionals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Send me a message, and I can answer your questions about the consultation before you book.<\/span><\/p>\n ASK A QUESTION ON WHATSAPP<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nWhat is osteopathy?<\/h3>\n
