FAQs — Oomph Osteopathy

FAQs.

Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the musculoskeletal system. It involves manual techniques to diagnose, treat, and prevent a wide range of health issues.
Osteopathy can help with various conditions, including back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, headaches, and more. It aims to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall well-being.
Osteopathic treatment is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and licensed practitioner. They will conduct a thorough assessment and tailor the treatment to your specific needs.
During a session, the osteopath will assess your condition, discuss your medical history, and then use hands-on techniques, such as gentle manipulation and stretching to address your concerns.
The duration of a session can vary depending on your condition and needs but it typically lasts 30 minutes. Your osteopath will provide an estimate during your initial consultation.
Our techniques are just as effective through clothing but at times it is easier to manoeuvre and treat in a gown. At the start of your appointment our practitioners will offer you a robe. We understand that comfort levels can change, so our professionals seek your consent at various stages to ensure you have complete control over your experience.

The number of sessions required varies from person to person. Your osteopath will create a personalised treatment plan and discuss the expected frequency of visits with you.
No, you don't need a referral to see an Osteopath. You can directly schedule an appointment with an Osteopath.
It's advisable to wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement. Your osteopath may need to access and assess different parts of your body during the session.
Achieving long-term results extends beyond the treatment room. Our osteopaths provide personalised advice centred around stretching and strengthening, posture exercises, work ergonomics, and stress management. These exercises are designed to alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and enhance your mobility.
The number of follow-up sessions needed varies for each individual. Some conditions may require just two sessions, while others may benefit from multiple sessions. At Oomph Osteopathy, we recognise that one size doesn’t fit all and our approach is tailored to your unique concerns.
Yes. Osteopathy can be beneficial for people of all ages. Techniques can be adapted to suit the specific needs of children, adults and seniors.

Patient Feedback.

"It was my extraordinary good luck that an associate introduced me to Drew. Having suddenly found myself in a situation whereby I could hardly walk let alone do anything else, I was put in Drew’s hands. His professional assessment of my situation and subsequent treatment now has me back to work feeling 100%. In the future, I will be returning to Drew for a maintenance program and in conclusion, let me say that I am eternally grateful that I came across him.

"Drew was recommended to me via two friends. I found Drew to be passionate about helping his patients & delivering a holistic approach which has got me back into life without feeling limited in my movement. His understanding of the body & how it functions is proof he continues his education which maintains a level of professionalism & advice for treatment. Overall, a great guy that I highly recommend."
Renee Brookes
"I was lucky enough to be recommended Drew by a trainer at my gym. Having tried every other form of treatment for lower back pain, it was a welcome relief to meet him. Drew is an excellent Osteopath. His diagnosis, followed by massage, acupuncture and professional manipulation has ensured that I have been able to return to training and no longer suffer from debilitating back pain. I am most grateful to Drew, and I highly recommend his professional treatment(s) and care to everybody."
