The free discovery visit

Choosing a practitioner can feel like a leap, especially if you've been let down before or you're not sure osteopathy is even the right option. The discovery visit takes the pressure off.

What it is

A free, no-obligation chat with James, in person at the Glen Iris clinic. It's your chance to talk through what's going on, ask anything you like, and get a feel for how James works before you commit to anything.

Who it's for

• You're not sure whether osteopathy is right for your problem
• You've got questions you'd like answered first
• You want to check that James is the right osteopath for you
• You've had a poor experience elsewhere and want to feel comfortable before booking

What happens

It's a conversation, not a treatment. Get to know each other, share what's been going on, and work out whether osteopathy is likely to help and whether treatment with James is right for you. If it is, you can learn about what a first appointment would typically involve. If it isn't, James will be transparent and help point you in a different direction.

What it isn't

To be clear: the discovery visit is not a full physical assessment or a treatment session. It's a short, free chat to help you decide. Your first full appointment is where the detailed history, hands-on assessment and treatment plan happen. You can read more about that on the back and neck pain page or in the FAQ.
