What to expect at Sana Osteopathy

What to Wear

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing, as tight jeans or restrictive activewear can make assessment and treatment more difficult. Bringing a pair of loose shorts to change into is a good option.

Depending on the area being assessed, you may be asked to remove some layers of clothing. This will always be discussed with you first, and your comfort and consent are our top priority.

When You Arrive

Please arrive 10 minutes early if you haven’t already completed your initial forms online. These include 

  • Intake Form (detailing personal information and medical history),
  • Cancellation and Non-Arrival Policy,
  • Informed Consent to Osteopathic Care (osteopathic appointment), or
  • Informed Consent to Remedial Manual Therapy (remedial massage appointment)

All of which we legally require before beginning care. All information is recorded and stored with the strictest confidentiality.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, general health, and personal goals.

  • Acute conditions (less than 3 months old) may resolve in around 3–6 sessions.
  • Chronic conditions (longer than 3 months) often require more sessions over a longer period.
