What happens in a consultation?

All practitioners take a full case history at the initial appointment. Information is then available for other practitioners if subsequent visits are required for other treatments and there is no need for the initial information to then be repeated. You will then work together to develop your support plan. See individual treatment sheets for more information relating to each type of treatment.
