Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on you as an individual. During your first visit, which typically lasts 45 minutes to an hour, we’ll take the time to understand your concerns, health history, and any treatments or medications you’re currently using. This information is kept confidential. We’ll also perform a thorough examination, which may involve observing your posture and mobility through simple movements and stretches. If needed, we’ll ask you to remove some clothing, but rest assured, your comfort and privacy are our priority. You’re welcome to bring a friend or relative to your session. Using a highly developed sense of touch, we’ll assess the health of your joints, tissues, and ligaments. If we identify any serious conditions outside our scope, we’ll guide you to the appropriate care, providing a detailed letter for your GP or hospital if necessary.

At SE1 Osteo and Rehab, we specialize in diagnosing, managing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal and related disorders. We’ll start by giving you a clear explanation of our findings and discussing a treatment plan tailored to your needs. You’ll understand the benefits, risks, and expected outcomes, including how many sessions might be needed to feel noticeable improvement. Our treatments are hands-on and may include skilled manipulation of the spine and joints, as well as soft tissue massage. We’ll always explain what we’re doing and ask for your consent before proceeding. Have questions or concerns? Don’t hesitate to ask—we’re here to ensure you feel informed and comfortable. We may also provide self-help tips and exercises to support your recovery and prevent future issues.

No, you don’t need a referral to see an osteopath—most of our patients come to us directly. However, we do encourage you to keep your GP informed so your medical records stay up-to-date. This helps ensure you receive the best care from all your healthcare providers. With your consent, we can also send a report to your GP about your condition and treatment. Need a letter for your employer? Just let us know, and we’ll be happy to assist.

Yes, you can often use private health insurance to cover your treatment. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm your coverage and whether a referral from your GP or specialist is required. If you're registered with certain insurance companies, please book your appointment with Kelly James or Natasha Antchandie-Wodzicki. Feel free to contact us for more details.
