New patients
First appointments are usually 45-60 minutes. Here is exactly what happens -- so you can arrive feeling calm and prepared, not wondering what you've signed up for.
Every appointment follows a similar structure, though the balance of time shifts depending on your needs.
When you arrive, you'll be welcomed into a calm, private treatment room. There's no waiting room rush -- your appointment time is yours. If you have any access needs or would like to bring a support person, just let us know in advance.
We'll start with a conversation. Dewi will ask about what's brought you in, your health history, any medications, and your goals for treatment. There are no wrong answers -- the more context you can share, the better. You don't need to prepare anything in advance.
Dewi will observe your posture and movement, and use gentle hands-on assessment to understand how your body is functioning. You may be asked to stand, sit, or move in certain ways. Everything is explained as it happens, and you can ask questions at any point.
Treatment is tailored to what your body needs on the day. Techniques may include soft tissue massage, gentle joint mobilisation, stretching, or cranial osteopathy. Nothing is done without your consent. If anything feels uncomfortable, say so -- the approach can always be adjusted.
At the end of the session, Dewi will explain what was found and what was treated. You'll get honest advice about how many sessions might help, any exercises or self-care to try at home, and whether a follow-up is recommended. There's no pressure to book again on the spot.
You don't need to buy anything special. Comfort is the priority.
No referral needed. Book directly at the clinic that suits you best, or send a message if you'd like to ask anything first.
