TREATMENT - What to Expect
Initial Appointment
At the initial appointment your condition and relevant medical history are discussed in detail, followed by the first treatment. Appropriate lifestyle/dietary advice may also be given.
A Treatment Plan for subsequent appointments is agreed, to include:
- Outcome: Realistic expected outcome(s)
- Therapy: Description of the relevant therapies
- Self-help: Measures for the patient between treatments
- Schedule: Expected frequency & length of treatment
Subsequent Appointments
At subsequent appointments progress since the previous session is reviewed, followed by further treatment. Lifestyle/dietary advice may be modified as appropriate.
Course of Treatment
A typical course of treatment is 4-6 weekly sessions - however, for difficult or long-standing conditions, more may be required. At the end of a course of treatment, progress is reviewed as per the Treatment Plan.
