Welcome to OsteoFirst osteopathic clinic
How can we help you?
At OsteoFirst we are dedicated to providing the highest standard of osteopathic treatment for our patients. We understand how debilitating chronic pain can be. It can make even the simplest tasks seem impossible, and take you of the joy of doing what you love. By working with you to create a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your needs and goals we aim to alleviate your pain and improve your movement.
What does treatment involve?
Typical osteopathic treatment involves firstly taking a detailed case history including information about the onset and progression of symptoms and medical history. The osteopath will then perform a physical examination before progressing to treatment where appropriate. The osteopath will personalise their treatment techniques to suit each individual. These may include soft-tissue massage, joint mobilisation, muscle energy techniques and joint manipulation. At OsteoFirst our osteopath also has training in medical acupuncture and may incorporate this into treatment where appropriate if you choose to consent to this.

What does acupuncture treatment involve?
Acupuncture treatment involves fine needles being inserted through the skin and briefly left in position. Sometimes manual or low voltage electrical stimulation is applied to assist the process. The number of needles varies based on each individual needs.
The type of acupuncture we provide at OsteoFirst is known as western medical acupuncture. This is an adaptation of Chinese acupuncture using current knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology, and the principles of evidence based medicine.
Who is Osteopathy suitable for?
Anyone is suitable for osteopathy. Through taking a detailed case history we can tailor our treatment to suit each individual.
What should I wear?
Depending on your condition, you may be asked to undress to your underwear in your appointment to properly assess the area being treated. If you feel uncomfortable with these, please let your osteopath know and accommodations can be made. The best clothes to come into your appointment are ones which are loose fitting or proved easy access to the area on injury. You can always bring a pair of sorts of vest to change into at your appointment.
Can I bring a relative or friend?
Yes. If you wish you can bring someone to accompany you during your appointment to hep you feel at ease.
Do I need a doctors referral?
No. You do not need a referral to visit an osteopath, you can just book an appointment directly.
