About Us
Our Objective
The objective of the practice is to enable patients to receive personally tailored quality care and attention. To achieve this, an initial consultation at the practice is slightly longer than usual at 45 minutes to an hour. This allows for a thorough assessment of all our patient´s symptoms, concerns and needs. Home visits are also available although travel costs are included. The average number of visits per patient is dependent upon the severity and chronicity of the condition.
- First visit allow 45 minutes to an hour for assessment and treatment.
- Follow up treatments allow 30 minutes.
- Home Visits allow 1 hour.
- Treatment rooms are provided on the ground floor with easy access.
We are recognised by all major insurance companies (e.g. BUPA, AXA PPP, Norwich Union, etc). Please mention to the receptionist if you will be claiming on an insurance policy when booking your appointment. This will allow them to designate you to the appropriate osteopath.
