Welcome to our Osteopath services.
Our Osteopath services are offered at the clinic for all people who have tried an Osteopath before or who have never been to see an Osteopath. Most people that have never been to see an Osteopath tend to have been to have physiotherapy or see a chiropractor which has helped but not got to the source of the problem. By taking a thorough case history and getting to the source of the problem, an Osteopath will be able to help you to recover from most muscular, skeletal, sports, ligament or joint injuries. We hope you find the following information useful.

So you decide to make the decision of coming to see us, this is what happens in your first session.
In your first session your clinician will greet you and begin by asking what brings you to the clinic. From here you will begin to go through a detailed case history which doesn't really take long, but is essential to see what we are dealing with. Once your clinician has taken enough details they will then carry out an examination in all cases, to make sure your symptoms match with any clinical signs that they can use to isolate the cause of the problem.
Before getting on with treatment the clinician will then explain in terms you can understand what the cause of the problem is.
After the examination and reporting process is complete your clinician will carry out treatment to make sure you receive the full service.
Ideally you should come with suitable clothing/underwear so that an accurate diagnosis of the problem can be made. Usually sports wear such as a pair of shorts and a vest or sports bra are suitable. We want you to feel comfortable, this is a priority. If you'd like to bring someone along such as a chaperone then thats fine too. We are very friendly but we understand that it can be a bit nerve racking going to your first appointment.
If you have any questions then please don't hesitate to contact us directly
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. Osteopathy works with the structure and function of the body, and is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the integration of all the working parts.
To an Osteopath, for your body to work well, its structure must also work well. So an osteopath works to restore your body to a state of balance, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery. Osteopaths use physical manipulation, stretching and various effective techniques to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and to help your body’s own healing mechanisms. Osteopaths also provide advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.

Where have you hurt yourself and what is causing the pain you are getting?
I'm sure you would like to know. An Osteopath will be able to help you diagnose and treat the painful area that you have. Getting you back to full strength as soon as your injury will allow. You can always help yourself with regular stretching and keeping well hydrated. The reason I became an Osteopath was through first hand experience of how effective Osteopathy was for sports injuries. Sports injuries can be complex and need a proper understanding of the underlying anatomical structures, something that other therapies wont give you.

An Osetopath at Perfect Balance Clinic must also take part in regular meetings to make sure the standard of the Osetopathy in the clinic is kept high. We lilke to make sure we set the standard of Osteopath care for you so you can be confident that you are getting the correct treatment and care.
