Your first visit
What to expect
No pre-built treatment plans. We explain each step as we go and you can ask questions at any point.
We talk it through
We start with your medical history and the problem that has brought you in, so we understand how the two connect.
A thorough examination
Simple movements to assess your mobility and function. You may be asked to remove some clothing so we can assess you accurately.
Treatment tailored to you
Hands-on treatment chosen for your diagnosis, aimed at restoring normal joint stability and function. Consultations last up to 40 minutes.
Aftercare and referrals
Some soreness after treatment is normal and your osteopath will tell you how to manage it. If you need an X-ray, blood test or MRI, we’ll refer you to your GP or an appropriate consultant.

Finally found something that works! Three sessions gave me relief from my back pains. By consulting with the osteopath, I now have realistic expectations and understanding of how to gradually ease the pain.

I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the care and professionalism of Spritely. Explained everything clearly, and delivered effective treatment. Noticeable improvement after just a few sessions.

I’ve used Spritely for many years and have always found them ‘Good Samaritans.’ They listen and respond to particular problems. A fantastic service.
