FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to what people most often ask before their first visit. If yours isn’t here, call Khaled on 07779 305 486.
What is osteopathy?
A hands-on way of assessing and treating muscles, joints and soft tissues. Osteopaths look at how your whole body moves, using techniques such as soft tissue massage, stretching and joint mobilisation. It may help with back, neck and joint pain, sciatica and muscle tension.
What happens at my first appointment?
It lasts around 45 minutes, and treatment is usually included. Khaled asks about your symptoms, general health and lifestyle, examines how you move, then explains what he thinks is going on and what he suggests. Treatment starts once you're happy to go ahead.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No. You can book directly. If a GP or consultant is already involved in your care, it's worth letting them know you're seeing an osteopath.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes you can move in. You may be asked to remove some outer layers so Khaled can see how you move, so you might like to bring shorts or a vest top. If you'd rather keep something on, just say and he'll work around it.
How long is an appointment?
A new patient consultation and treatment takes around 45 minutes. Follow-up appointments take around 30 minutes.
Does treatment hurt?
Treatment is usually gentle. Some techniques cause brief discomfort, and feeling a little sore for a day or two afterwards is normal. Khaled explains each step, and you can ask him to stop or change approach at any time.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the problem, how long you've had it and your general health. Khaled gives you an honest view at your first visit and reviews your progress as you go. You book and pay for one appointment at a time.
How much does it cost and how do I pay?
Fees aren't listed online, so please call 07779 305 486 and Khaled will tell you before you book. Payment is taken in person, by card or cash.
Can I use my private health insurance?
Many private health insurers cover treatment with a registered osteopath. Policies vary, so check with your insurer before your appointment, including whether they need a GP referral or a pre-authorisation number.
Is Khaled a registered osteopath?
Yes. Khaled Ben Moussa is registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC 3309) and is a member of the Institute of Osteopathy. "Osteopath" is a protected title in the UK, so only people on the GOsC register can use it.
Which languages does Khaled speak?
English, French and Arabic. You're welcome to have your appointment in whichever you're most comfortable with.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. A friend, family member or chaperone is welcome to stay with you for the whole appointment.
What if osteopathy isn't right for my problem?
Khaled will be honest with you. If your problem isn't suitable for osteopathy or needs further investigation, he'll explain why and suggest where to go instead, such as your GP.
What if I need to cancel or change my appointment?
Please give at least 24 hours' notice. Until then, you can cancel or reschedule online using the "Manage booking" link in your confirmation email. After that, please call 07779 305 486.
