Important things to remember for your first visit:

  • Allow an hour and a half for first visit
  • Wear suitable underwear
  • Keep warm on your way home
  • If possible, take time to relax afterwards

If you have any queries or concerns about your initial visit, please contact us for further advice.

When you arrive for your appointment, follow the sign directing you around the house to the right - the reception area is in the first door on your left.

You can relax and enjoy the tranquil view until you are called in for your appointment. Lachlan tries to run to schedule, but please be aware that appointments can sometimes overrun.
 

 

How much treatment will I need? All treatment is tailored to meet the individual needs of the patient, and the best plan for your further care is reached by mutual agreement. Some patients need only one further treatment, others have a course of therapy or return periodically for the long-term management of a condition. In the majority of cases, a series of 3-6 sessions are required.

Your first visit To make you feel at ease, Lachlan will communicate what he is doing throughout your initial visit. He will spend time taking a detailed medical history including important information about your lifestyle and diet. You will normally be asked to undress to your underwear and perform a series of simple movements. In normal circumstances, Lachlan will begin your treatment straight away. He will use his hands to identify problem areas, and your treatment will normally include stretching, mobilizing and manipulative techniques. Please feel free to ask questions at anytime - exchanging information is an important part of the consultation.

The initial assessment and available treatment options will then be explained to you.
