Treatment Length

Osteopathic treatment is applied with a specific objective in mind. There are no predetermined sequences as each treatment session is determined by your presenting complaint and how your body responds to the techniques applied. Once your practitioner detects that the treatment has achieved the desired result the session is finished.

To extend the treatment time beyond this point is unnecessary and may cause further problems by creating too much for the body to deal with. As such, you should not be concerned if the length of treatment varies from session to session. However, on average, for a first consultation allow around 30-40 minutes.

For follow up appointments allow 20-30 minutes.
