Osteopathy is an established system of diagnosis and manual treatment, recognised by the British Medical Association as a discrete clinical discipline. The patient is assessed by the whole body structure and how it performs from a mechanical, functional and postural standpoint and the treatment is adapted to suits the individuals needs. Osteopaths treat a wide variety of conditions from postural problems, pain from sports injuries but also looking at prevention of injuries, repetitive strain to postural changes during pregnancy.
Osteopaths undertake a 4 year degree course involving thorough clinical training and are regulated by the General Osteopathic Council who maintain a Statutory Register of Osteopaths, allowing only those osteopaths meeting the highest standard of safety and competency to join.
