What should I wear?
As you will be asked to undress to your underwear it is advisable to make sure it is suitable for this occasion. It will make it easier for the osteopath to make a full assessment and to be able to offer you effective treatment.

Does it hurt?
No. The techniques used are gentle and work with the “permission” of the body soft-tissues. Very occasionally you might feel a ‘clicking’ sensation as the soft-tissues adjust, but it is not painful.

Can I have someone with me?
Yes. The treatment room is considered to be a place of absolute privacy and confidentiality between practitioner and patient, but if you would like to have a friend or family member with you, you are welcome to bring them in with you. As Meridian Osteopath is only a small practice, we are unable to provide you with a chaperone and you will need to bring your own.
