Otley Osteopaths provide a professional, safe and excellent health care service. We make every effort to ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed.

You can now book in for your initial consultation online, which cost £68 and any following appointments are £58. Your osteopath will ask you specific questions about your problem and background medical questions. There is also time for physical assessment and treatment on your first visit with us. You will be asked to complete a consent form online before your first face to face appointment (this is required for data protection compliance).

Removing outer layers of clothing allows optimal treatment of your problem. Although we provide a safe and professional environment, we appreciate some clients may feel uncomfortable removing their outer garments. If this is the case, please inform the osteopath and we will work around whatever you are comfortable wearing or you could consider bringing a sports top or shorts if you would feel more comfortable being treated in these.

 

Assessing the Pain

The osteopath will assess your pain by gently moving your joints, it may also be necessary to do a few  non-invasive tests (e.g taking your blood pressure). The diagnosis will be explained to you with models so you see for yourself what the problem is.

Before any treatments are carried out, all the options will be explained, and you can ask any questions you may have. Some massage-based treatments require the use of a small amount of oil, however, we use very small amounts so a change of clothes is not required.

None of our treatment methods are painful, but occasionally clients do feel achy the day after, this is normal and quickly resolves. If you do have any queries or concerns after your treatment please contact us and we will be happy to discuss it with you.

What Our Patients Say

 
I had been struggling with terrible back pain for over 18 months , it was affecting every aspect of my daily life . I had been to see various drs , specialists and physiotherapists none of these helped much at all , they just gave me strong painkillers that only masked the pain. I was due to have an injection into my spine but a few weeks before I had it done one of my friends told me about Ole and his team , I went to see them and I was amazed that after the first session I felt imediate relief , after the second session I felt like a new person so I decided against having the injection as that would only mask the pain . I had my third session and now I have been able to ride my bike and walk further than I have for months . I am truly amazed at the work they do and I can’t recommend them enough .

Excellent treatment from friendly and caring people.

Their explanation of my back issue showing pictures has really helped me to understand what was happening and then why I was doing each exercise. The simple tip about posture and how to sit has been of priceless help. Thank you.

The care, professionalism and long lasting relief from shoulder and back pain has been fantastic. A safe and encouraging atmosphere, in very good hands being looked after on and off for over 10 years.
— Pam
Over the past year I had been experiencing real issues with tennis elbow resulting in not being able to play any racket sports and restricting general work tasks, tried everything in the book from seeing various physios, steroid injections, anything I could find myself on the web at home and then through recommendations came to see Ole, treatment I had was shockwave therapy and within 3 sessions im surprised to be back playing again! Highly recommend.

The Otley Osteopaths’ treatment mad a real difference to my sciatica so I could walk down the aisle at my wedding without limping! They have eased the daily excruciating pain I used to have so that I can now enjoy life again! My back is good now - I just need occasional upkeep and maintenance appointments. Definitely recommend!
