How many appointments will I need?
Your recovery speed is affected by many variables such as your age, fitness level, the physical demands of your lifestyle, and your overall health and wellness.
Simple uncomplicated injuries will resolve much faster that chronic old injuries, and children will generally recover much faster than adults.
Osteopaths tend to working with a person over the course of 3-4 appointments spread over 3-4 weeks. Within this time period, simple injuries are likely to be resolved, and complex or old injuries are likely to have started changing. Where further treatment is required, this initial course of treatment will give your osteopath a good indication of your likely recovery process. You can expect your osteopath to discuss this prognosis with you so that you can make decisions about the management of your injury.
