Otley Osteopaths provide a professional, safe and excellent health care service. We make every effort to ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed.
You can now book in for your initial consultation online, which cost £65 and any following appointments are £55 (these prices will increase by £3 on January 1st 2025). Your osteopath will ask you specific questions about your problem and background medical questions. There is also time for physical assessment and treatment on your first visit with us. You will be asked to complete a consent form online before your first face to face appointment (this is required for data protection compliance).
Removing outer layers of clothing allows optimal treatment of your problem. Although we provide a safe and professional environment, we appreciate some clients may feel uncomfortable removing their outer garments. If this is the case, please inform the osteopath and we will work around whatever you are comfortable wearing or you could consider bringing a sports top or shorts if you would feel more comfortable being treated in these.
Assessing the Pain
The osteopath will assess your pain by gently moving your joints, it may also be necessary to do a few non-invasive tests (e.g taking your blood pressure). The diagnosis will be explained to you with models so you see for yourself what the problem is.
Before any treatments are carried out, all the options will be explained, and you can ask any questions you may have. Some massage-based treatments require the use of a small amount of oil, however, we use very small amounts so a change of clothes is not required.
None of our treatment methods are painful, but occasionally clients do feel achy the day after, this is normal and quickly resolves. If you do have any queries or concerns after your treatment please contact us and we will be happy to discuss it with you.
