Your first appointment at Lisa Leung Osteopathy begins with a detailed consultation where we’ll discuss your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and goals. This helps build a clear picture of how your body is working and what may be contributing to your discomfort. A physical assessment will follow, which may include gentle movement tests and postural observations. You’ll always be involved in the process and encouraged to ask questions at any time. Treatment usually takes place during your first session and may include a combination of soft tissue techniques, joint articulation, stretching, or gentle mobilisation. Each session is adapted to your comfort level and clinical needs. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis, treatment plan and any self-care advice that can support your recovery, such as exercises, movement strategies or lifestyle adjustments. My aim is for every patient to feel listened to, informed and empowered, with a treatment plan that fits their individual goals and daily life.

It’s best to wear clothing that allows easy movement and lets me assess your posture and body comfortably. Many people choose to wear items such as sportswear, leggings, running shorts, sports bra, etc.

Yes I offer home and hospital visits for patients who may find it difficult to travel. These sessions are arranged on a case-by-case basis and take place only where a safe and appropriate environment can be ensured and hospital approval where required.

You don’t need a referral from your GP to see an osteopath. Osteopaths are recognised as primary healthcare practitioners, which means you can book an appointment directly without needing to go through your doctor first. However, some patients choose to discuss their symptoms with their GP before seeking osteopathic care, especially if they have a complex medical history or are receiving other treatments. With your consent, osteopaths can communicate with your GP or other healthcare professionals to ensure your care is well-coordinated and appropriate for your needs.

Yes. Osteopathy is considered safe and can be helpful throughout pregnancy, including the early stages, as long as there are no medical complications. Treatment is always tailored to the individual and adapted to suit each stage of pregnancy. Many people find osteopathic care helpful for easing postural changes, back or pelvic pain, and general tension as the body adjusts. During the first trimester, treatment is approached gently and with particular care to ensure comfort and safety. I can also offer advice on posture, movement and exercises to help you stay comfortable between sessions.

Yes. Osteopathy can play a supportive role in managing the pain, fatigue and joint instability often associated with hypermobility and fibromyalgia. Treatment focuses on improving movement control, reducing muscle tension and helping the body move more efficiently.
