24.01.2022 What will my first appointment look like? Our initial appointments at Nillumbik Osteopathic entail a detailed case history to fully understand your presenting complaint. We will also go through a past medical history and a systems screen to get a good understanding of your overall health. From here, we'll jump into our examination which may include orthopaedic and neurological tests, postural assessments and a variety of range of motion screens.... Once we have explained our findings to you it's time for hands on treatment! This may include a mixture of soft tissue massage, joint manipulations, cranial techniques, muscle energy techniques, stretching and more. In order to maintain the effects of treatment you may be given a set of stretches and/or strength exercises. As osteopathy is very much a holistic approach to health and well being, your practitioner may also give you advice about nutrition, sleep and physical activity
