Will my extended healthcare cover osteopathic treatment?
Coverage for osteopathic treatment varies by insurance plan. After each session, you will receive a receipt to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.
Do I need a referral from my doctor?
No referral is required. If any medical issues arise during your initial assessment or follow-up sessions, I may advise you to consult your doctor before continuing treatment.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing, as treatment is conducted fully clothed. Ideal options include shorts, sweatpants, yoga pants, leggings, and a t-shirt or undershirt. Avoid tight jeans, skirts, or dresses. You will need to remove your shoes, so please wear or bring socks.
Does treatment hurt?
Osteopathic assessment and treatment are gentle and should not cause pain. The techniques may feel subtle but are effective in relieving discomfort and improving your well-being.
