Osteopathy is a unique system of clinical diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation, primarily of musculo - skeletal problems of the spinal and peripheral joints, ligaments and muscles.
When the body is balanced and efficient, just like a well tuned engine, it will function with the minimum of wear and tear. Osteopaths seek to restore the optimal functioning of the body and aid its intrinsic ability to heal.
Osteopathy recognises that much of the pain and disability we suffer stems from abnormalities in our body’s structure and function.
Each year, Osteopaths in the UK treat over 6 million people suffering from a broad range of muscular and skeletal problems.
The main aim of Osteopathic treatment is the reduction of pain and facilitation of healing.
Osteopathic treatment is suitable for the whole family, including elderly, children and babies.
Osteopathy is patient-centred which means that the treatment is geared to you as an individual.
Osteopaths are statutorily regulated health professionals and form an integral part of primary care teams. The The General Osteopathic Council regulates, promotes and develops the profession of osteopathy, maintaining a statutory register of those entitled to practice osteopathy. Only practitioners meeting the highest standards of safety and competency are eligible for registration.
