It depends on your health insurance provider, It may be possible to re-claim for a course of treatment but you should check in advance with your insurance company as soon as you plan to go for osteopathic treatment, in order to confirm the available level of cover and whether you will need to have a referral from your GP. We will provide you all the necessary invoice and documents to handover to your health insurance provider for further steps
Most patients ‘self refer’ to an osteopath for treatment. Although referral by a GP is not necessary, patients are encouraged to keep both their GP and osteopath fully informed, so that their medical records are current and complete and the patient receives the best possible care from both healthcare practitioners.
Osteopathic treatments are 45 minutes to 1 hours

Is osteopathy safe for first-time patients? Short answer: yes — when performed by a qualified practitioner it’s a low‑risk, patient‑centred approach that prioritises comfort and clear progress. 🩺✨
What a safe first visit looks like:
- Thorough intake: your history, current symptoms, activity levels and any medical concerns are reviewed before hands‑on work. 📝
- Targeted assessment: movement screening and specific tests identify the root cause — not just the painful spot. 🔎
- Tailored treatment: techniques (gentle soft‑tissue work, joint mobilisation, fascia release or light manipulation) are chosen to match your needs and tolerance.
- Communication & consent: you’ll get clear explanations of findings, proposed techniques, benefits and possible short‑term reactions. 💬
Safety considerations:
- Practitioners screen for red flags (recent fractures, serious illness, contraindications) and adapt care for pregnancy, post‑op patients or chronic conditions. ⚠️✅
- Mild soreness or tiredness after treatment can happen as tissues settle; serious side effects are uncommon with trained clinicians. 🛌
How osteopathy supports recovery and performance:
- Restores mobility, reduces pain and improves movement patterns — helpful for everyday aches and sports‑related niggles. 🏃♀️💪
- Best outcomes come from combining hands‑on care with guided rehab, load management and simple home exercises. 🔄
Quick tips for first‑timers:
- Bring relevant medical records and recent scans if available. 📂
- Ask questions — what will be done, why, and what to expect afterwards. ❓
- Start conservatively and follow through with recommended exercises. 🔁
