Contact your insurer before booking to confirm cover and obtain any required referral letters.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your condition and severity. Acute issues may resolve in 2–4 sessions, whilst chronic conditions often require 6–12 sessions. Your osteopath will provide a treatment plan estimate at your initial consultation, helping you budget accurately.
