What to expect when you go to see the Osteopath.

These are questions patients often ask. 

1. Do I need to get undressed?

At Shaun Tyler Osteopath I always try to protect your modesty. I often ask patients to bring shorts to change into if they have low back pain or hip, knee or ankle injury. If it is a neck or upper back problem I ask for you to change into a vest. 

2. What is the cost?

The cost of each session at Shaun Tyler Osteopath is £45 per session. The first session is 60minutes and follow up sessions are 45minutes. We accept cash or card. 

3. I'm a little nervous can I bring someone with me?

Of course anything that makes you feel more relaxed. Shaun actively encourages patients to bring along a friend or relative. 

4. Will I be expected to do exercises?

In a nut shell, yes. Every patient Shaun see's is given an exercise and a plan to follow. Shaun is a big believer in self-care and empowering his patients to manage themselves. Advice might be about taking breaks from your desk to manage neck pain to using eccentric exercises for Achilles tendinopathy, to adjusting your load and frequency while training for a marathon. You'll be given a written plan that you can download to your phone with video’s on how to follow the exercises.
