Clapham Junction Osteopath – Laura Tilson Osteopathy

Did you know that Osteopaths are like Pain Detectives?

Your Treatment

When you first visit an osteopath they will spend some time taking a medical history. This will include questions about your general health and lifestyle. Also asking about symptoms or injuries that you are seeking help with. With your consent they will then perform a physical examination. This is likely to involve the osteopath touching areas of your body where you are experiencing pain and asking you to move around. They may also look at test results, x-rays and scan reports if these are available.

The osteopath will make a diagnosis and discuss a course of treatment with you. This may involve visiting them a few times. Treatment includes manual therapy and specifically prescribed exercises that you can do by yourself. They will discuss the likely cost of this treatment and ask for your consent to begin treatment. If the osteopath believes that your condition would not be improved
with osteopathic treatment they will refer you to your GP or another suitably qualified professional.

Is Treatment Painful?

Osteopaths work very hard to make treatment as painless as possible. You may experience some discomfort during and after treatment though. Your osteopath will warn you if they think that the technique that they are about to use is likely to be uncomfortable and will stop if you tell them that you are feeling too much pain.

Following treatment about half of patients report some mild soreness in the area of their body that was treated, this can usually be relieved with an over the counter pain killer and will go away within 48 hours.

Alexandra Freeman is an excellent osteopath, has relieved my back pain following my treatments with her. She takes time to find out the cause of the pain, alleviates the pain and is a pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend her enough.

– V. Harrison

I have been visiting Alexandra for some months now to address lower back pains.  Alexandra is incredibly warm, engaging and approachable yet very professional and thorough. She puts you at ease and is very good at explaining the reasons for the condition and the treatment she administers in ways that laypeople can understand. Alexandra also treated a relative of mine for neck and shoulder strains; who has been visiting other osteopaths for treatments.  They commented that Alexandra’s treatment was excellent and cured the problem, unlike other Osteopaths!  One of the best and most exceptional and effective osteopaths ever.  I would strongly recommend Alexandra.
