Consultations for:​ ​
Phil offers personalised consultations that include a detailed history and examination relating to your complaint, osteopathic treatments and self-help skills for many  persistent pain conditions

As a complement to osteopathic treatment, Phil also offers pain and exercise education which is so important for understanding the unpleasentness of pain why it persists. Gaining this knowledge enables patients to develop skills that enable more effective control of either recovery from injury or poor work-related practices.
