Gayle Jordan The Family Osteopath

Providing Osteopathic treatment for the whole family, from babies to the elderly, in all stages of life. We focus on patient centred treatment for optimum health.

Osteopathy specialises in the diagnosis, management, treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal and other related disorders.

Your osteopath will give you a clear explanation of what they find (their diagnosis) and discuss a treatment plan that is suitable for you. They will explain the benefits and any risks of the treatment they are recommending. It is important to understand and agree what the treatment can achieve, and the likely number of sessions needed for a noticeable improvement in how you feel.

Treatment is hands-on and involves skilled manipulation of the spine and joints, and massage of soft tissues. Your osteopath will explain what they are doing and will always ask your permission to treat you (known as consent). Ask questions at any time if you are unsure what you have been told or if you have any concerns.

Self-help measures and advice on exercise may be offered to assist your recovery, prevent recurrence or worsening of symptoms.
