Ist Appointment - What Happens ?
When you
visit Jackie for the first time you will be allocated one
hour. A full case history will be taken, including what you
have come to see her about but also a medical history to
ensure that it is safe to treat you. Please bring a note of any
medication that you take, including herbal &
aromotherapy.
You will
then be given an examination. You will often be asked to
remove your upper clothing down to your underwear and to
perform a simple series of movements. A curtain is
available for you to undress & dress behind. You will be
covered with a towel most of the time, with just the area to be
examined and treated available for Jackie to examine and
treat. Due to current Covid-19 Procedures I cannot provide a towel
to cover you, however, you are welcome to bring along your own
towel.
If you do not
wish to undress to your underwear then please let Jackie know
and/or bring along a pair of shorts, thick tights, loose trousers
or leggings.
Jackie will then
use a highly developed sense of touch, called palpation, to
identify any points of weakness or excessive strain throughout the
body.
You have the
right to refuse any particular examination or
treatment.
