Our first appointment together...
Dear New Patient,
Thank you for your interest in osteopathy. Our first appointment together will be 60 minute in duration which will include filling in your Medical History form and the Covid pre-screening form. For your convenience, the medical history form is available online via my website. The pre-screening Covid questionnaire is required 24hr prior to your treatment which will be received via an email called "Consent". Simply click on the "Patient Form" link and fill in the questionnaire, then click on "Submit". You will get a screen that confirms the form was received a few seconds later. To maximize our time together I encourage you to complete the medical history form a few days before our initial appointment, however, if you are unable to do so, this can be done at the clinic.
Depending on what your objectives are, initial evaluations can be done in a relatively short period of time. For more chronic and serious problems, an initial assessment may take longer and be done parallel to your treatment. Doing a proper assessment is critical to establishing a plan of care that will not only address your symptoms but most importantly, help define the root cause.
Please wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing to the appointment and be prepared that you will most likely receive hands on treatment within your first visit.
Should you have any questions regarding osteopathic manual treatments or any other questions, the "FAQ - Osteopathic treatments" tab on my website may answer some of them. However, please do not hesitate to send me an email should more specific information be required.

I look forward to working with you and for you.
