At Joint Health Space, our Principal Osteopath in Mansfield, Craig Oswald, offers personalised osteopathy care to relieve pain, restore mobility, and support your overall well-being.
This list is not exhaustive. If you’re unsure whether your condition is something we can help with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — speak to our principal and we’ll point you in the right direction.
Your First Appointment
Your first appointment with Craig lasts 60 minutes. He’ll begin with a thorough consultation covering your current symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and what you’re hoping to get out of treatment. This isn’t just box-ticking, it helps Craig build a full picture so he can treat the cause, not just the complaint.
He’ll then carry out a physical assessment, which may include watching how you stand and move, testing your range of motion, and hands-on examination of the relevant areas. He’ll explain what he’s finding as he goes and talk you through his plan before any treatment begins.
Treatment
Osteopathic treatment uses hands-on techniques to work with the muscles, joints, and connective tissues. Depending on what’s going on, this might include soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, stretching, or manipulation. Craig will explain each technique and check in with you throughout, nothing happens without your understanding and consent.
What to Wear
Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing so Craig can assess and treat you properly. You will remain clothed at all times. For lower back or hip problems, shorts or leggings are ideal. For neck or upper back issues, a vest or loose top helps. Craig will always explain what he needs to see and why before any assessment begins.
After Your Appointment
It’s common to feel some mild achiness for a day or two after treatment, this is normal and a sign your body is responding. Craig will give you clear aftercare advice, and most people notice an improvement within 24–48 hours. You may also be given some simple exercises or stretches to support your recovery between sessions.
Follow-up Appointments
Follow-up sessions are typically 45 minutes. Craig will review your progress at each visit and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. The number of sessions needed varies depending on your condition and how your body responds.
