What conditions can be treated with osteopathy?

Osteopathy can effectively treat various musculoskeletal conditions, including back and neck pain, joint pain, sports injuries, headaches, and postural issues. Additionally, my expertise in strategic psychotherapy and clinical hypnosis allows me to address the emotional aspects of pain for a more comprehensive approach.

Is mobile osteopathy covered by insurance?

Many insurance providers cover osteopathic treatment. It's essential to check with your insurance provider to determine your coverage for osteopathic care.

What precautions are taken to ensure safety and hygiene during home visits?

At Roaming Relief Osteopathy, I prioritise the safety and well-being of my clients. I will adhere to strict hygiene and sanitisation protocols, including thorough cleaning of all equipment before and after each session. Additionally, I closely monitor and follow public health guidelines and recommendations to ensure a safe environment for all my clients.
How does psychotherapy and hypnosis complement osteopathic treatment?

Psychotherapy and hypnosis can help address the emotional and psychological aspects of pain, which often play a significant role in physical discomfort. By incorporating these supportive therapies, I can provide a more comprehensive and holistic approach to your healing process, helping you manage stress, anxiety, and other emotional factors that may contribute to your condition.
What is strategic psychotherapy?

Strategic psychotherapy is a goal-oriented approach that focuses on identifying and resolving specific issues or challenges. By combining problem-solving techniques with evidence-based therapeutic interventions, strategic psychotherapy aims to facilitate rapid and lasting change, helping clients overcome obstacles and achieve their desired outcomes.
What is clinical hypnosis, and how can it help me?

Clinical hypnosis is a therapeutic technique that utilises focused attention and relaxation to create a heightened state of suggestibility. This altered state allows the therapist to communicate with your subconscious mind, helping you access and modify deeply-rooted thought patterns and behaviors. Hypnosis can be beneficial in managing pain, reducing stress and anxiety, and promoting overall well-being.
Are psychotherapy and hypnosis safe and effective for everyone?

Psychotherapy and hypnosis are generally considered safe and effective for most individuals. However, the suitability of these therapies may vary depending on your specific needs and circumstances. During your initial consultation, I will assess your situation and discuss the most appropriate treatment options for you.
How long does it take to see results from psychotherapy and hypnosis as supportive therapies?

The duration and frequency of psychotherapy and hypnosis sessions, as well as the time it takes to see results, can vary depending on your unique needs and the specific issues being addressed. Some clients may experience noticeable improvements after just a few sessions, while others may require ongoing support to achieve their desired outcomes. I will work closely with you to create a tailored treatment plan and monitor your progress throughout the process.
