No, you don’t need a referral to visit Brighton Osteopathy. You can book an appointment directly with us at any time.

The number of treatments required varies depending on the condition. Some conditions, like a spinal joint sprain, may be resolved in one or two sessions. However, more complex or chronic conditions, such as disc bulges, may require a series of treatments (e.g., 6-8 sessions) to fully resolve.

Loose-fitting clothing is ideal for osteopathic treatment. While you may not be required to remove clothing, wearing something that allows for movement—such as shorts—is helpful for the examination and treatment.

Each treatment session lasts around 30 minutes and includes:

• A thorough history review
• Full physical examination
• Hands-on treatment based on your specific condition

We also provide personalised advice on exercises, posture, and rehabilitation techniques to support your recovery between sessions.
