1. Medical HistoryDuring your first session, your practitioner will start by asking you some questions about your current complaint but also about your medical history, general health, lifestyle. If you have any medical examination reports (X-rays, MRI, scan) to support your complaint or your medical history, feel free to bring it with you as your therapist will have a look at it. After asking you these questions, your osteopath will be able to know if osteopathic treatment is suitable for you. If yes, she will then perform a physical examination and if no, will refer you to the competent professional or ask some further medical exam.
