Why do I need to wait between treatment sessions – wouldn’t one long session be just as good?

Essentially the body heals itself – Osteopathy is like a helping hand in this process, or sometimes like a catalyst when the healing process has stalled. There must be a time interval between treatment sessions to allow the body to make its response, and then take it on a further step. A treatment session can be regarded a bit like a dose of medicine. Each session takes the process on a bit at a time – to try to make too great a change all at once can shock the body and set the healing process back. Your Osteopath will advise on the correct time interval and number of treatment sessions likely to be required. You, however, remain in control. You can discuss this advice at any stage and, if you feel you are not making adequate progress, you can curtail treatment and ask your Osteopath about other possible approaches to your problem.
