How do I cancel or change an appointment?

We understand life is unpredictable. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment we ask that you please give as much notice as you can with a minimum of 24 hours. This allows us to offer the appointment to another patient who may be in need of our services. Insufficient notice or not turning up to an appointment will incur a fee.
Do I need to see a GP first?

It is not necessary to see your GP first, the majority of our patients self-refer.
What happens on my first appointment?

The first consultation you have with an osteopath will be similar to any other with a Registered Medical Practitioner. We will take a case history about your symptoms and also your general health. Some of these questions may seem irrelevant but are to help us ascertain if any condition is out of their remit and might require referral. After this we will conduct an examination, explain our diagnosis and if appropriate will move on to treatment in this first session.
What's the address and how do I get to you and park?

Thurlow House (opposite the entrance to Martello place) Golf Road Felixstowe IP11 7NB Free parking is available on the road. The entrance is through the front door, please ring the bell and we will come to you.
What should I wear to my appointment?

Most often it is necessary to ask you to remove some items of clothing so that the area to be examined can be seen. You may wish to wear comfortable clothing such as tracksuit trousers/leggings or shorts and a t-shirt/vest so you may be able to be examined without having to remove these. If you have concerns over what you need to wear or will be asked to remove please contact us before your appointment.
