• How long are the sessions?

    The First Visit is usually an hour. The follow up treatments are 20-30 minutes. 

  • How often will I need to visit?

    Your practitioner will advise you of this during your First Visit as it varies for each person. 

  • Will I receive treatment on my first visit?

    We are usually able to start treatment on the first visit, after your practitioner carries out a full assessment. The first treatment may be delayed if further tests need to be carried out. 

  • Do I need a GP referral/external referral to come to The Hive Health?

    No you do not need a GP referral to book in with us. 

  • Will my private health insurance cover my treatment costs?

    Our practitioners are registered with the General Chiropractic Council/General Osteopathic Council and so are recognised by many insurance companies. However, we would always advise that you check with your insurer prior to seeking care if you intend for them to fund your care with us. 

  • Should I book chiropractic or osteopathy?

    You can usually book in with either. 


    There’s a lot of overlap between the two professions, and in practice the individual practitioner is often more important than the title.


    If you’re unsure who to book with, just get in touch — we’re always happy to answer questions and help you choose.


    And if, after your first appointment, we think another practitioner in the clinic would be a better fit, we can refer you internally. You won’t need to book and pay for another first-visit appointment just because you change practitioner.
