Home visit
A 60-minute osteopathy visit at home within eight miles of Fennbridge, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
Within the week; home visits Tuesday and Thursday
Plate VII, fig. 1The plate
What it is, in plain words.
For the people who cannot get to the wharf: the week after a back goes, after a hospital stay, or when getting up and down stairs is the problem we are treating. Karolina or Ruth brings a folding table, or works on your bed or a chair. Travel is included.
Follow-ups at home are £85. Once you can get to us, ordinary prices apply.
62 home visits last year, median 1.8 visits before the patient could come in (demonstration data)
What should I wear?
Something loose you can move in. For a back or hip we may ask you to strip to underwear or wear shorts; we have shorts and a gown, a towel covers you, and you can keep leggings on if you prefer. You can bring someone with you. Say what you are comfortable with and we work around it.
