About the Business
Once the case history is complete, a physical examination will follow, where you may be asked to undress to a comfortable level, this is typically to underwear or a vest top and shorts.
During the examination, your posture will be observed as well as palpation into the area of complaint. Mel will then ask you to complete a number of simple movements and orthopaedic tests before feeling the movements of the associated joints.
It may also be necessary to test your pulses, blood pressure, skin sensation as well as listening to your heart and lungs, to help her exclude any conditions that may require referral to your GP. Following the examination, your diagnosis will be explained to you and Mel will answer any questions you may have. At this point if Mel feels that osteopathy isn't appropriate for you, she will refer you to your GP or a more appropriate specialist.
