What is a Reset consultation?
A Reset Consultation is a longer osteopathic session designed to help you understand what’s going on in your body, relieve symptoms, and plan a way forward. You don’t need to have had osteopathy before.
During your appointment, we’ll:
- Carry out a full-body assessmentÂ
- Provide hands-on osteopathic treatment
- Discuss your concerns and goals
- Offer clear, practical advice and exercises to use at home
Whether you’re managing an ongoing issue or simply want to take better care of yourself, this is a good opportunity to pause and reset.
Is this appointment right for me?
A Reset Consultation is ideal if:
- You’ve been tolerating pain, tension, or stiffness and want to take action
- You’re worried about how your symptoms affect your daily life
- You’d like a full-body check to prevent future issues
- You’ve had a recent injury and want effective support
- You’re returning to treatment after a break or trying osteopathy for the first time
- You simply want to move more easily and feel more comfortable
What to expect
Your Reset Consultation begins with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and any activities which may be contributing towards your pain. We will then carry out a physical examination to assess your posture, movement, strength and mobility, to better understand the cause of your symptoms.
Using this information, your osteopath will explain their findings, discuss a diagnosis and recommend a personalised treatment plan for your needs. In many cases, treatment may begin during your Reset Consultation.
We encourage questions throughout the process, ensuring you feel informed and confident about your care.

Tennis elbow is a common condition that causes pain on the outside of the elbow, often due to repetitive gripping, lifting or twisting movements. It can affect anyone, not just tennis players.
Golfer’s elbow affects the tendons on the inside of the elbow and is often linked to repetitive use of the wrist and forearm. It can cause pain, tenderness and reduced grip strength.
This depends on the cause and severity of your symptoms. Your osteopath can advise you on suitable activities and any modifications needed while you recover.
Elbow pain can develop from repetitive movements, sporting activities, workplace demands, injuries or age-related changes. An assessment can help determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.
