Online Consent Form


You will receive a physical copy of your completed consent form.  When the Practitioner is available you will be invited into the treatment room.

Your practitioner will ask detailed questions regarding your complaint, your medical history, general health and medication you may be taking. You may feel that some of this is irrelevant to your problem, however osteopathy and even massage works on treating the body as a whole and these questions may help the practitioner in your treatment. Taking the case history may take between 5-15 minutes.

Depending on the area of injury you will be asked to undress so that your practitioner can check your problem area and posture. If you are uncomfortable about this please speak to your practitioner. The examination may involve you performing some simple movements so that the Practitioner can assess your condition. Your blood pressure, reflexes, joint mobility and muscle strength may also be tested to help make an accurate diagnosis. In some cases a diagnosis may not be possible, or you may be referred to another specialist for further investigations. The practitioner will explain what type of treatment is recommended and explain why, so that treatment can begin. If at any time during treatment you find any of the techniques uncomfortable please don’t hesitate to tell your practitioner

Testimonials

I have been working as a Surgeon in Wanganui. Listening and caring for patients post surgery has brought me to the awareness of medium and long term postoperative pain. Accelerated wound healing has been an interest all my career. Laparoscopic surgery has reduced tissue damage. Fenzian treatment has fascinated me as a new modality of treatment and has helped patients with post operative pain.

Gerard Bonnet (MBChB, MS, FCS), Specialist General and Laparoscopic Surgeon, Wanganui Polyclinic, 163 Wicksteed Street

“I had chronic ulceration in my lower legs and was advised by a surgeon to contact Shaun Hogan Osteopath for Fenzian Treatment.

With the Fenzian Treatment, chronic pain has disappeared within two days of treatment. The Fenzian Treatment has relieved me of pain and greatly improved healing in my lower legs.”

Jean Wright, Marton

“I chased all over town trying to get my calf fixed and Shaun located the issue in my knee! This guy knows his stuff”.
