What osteopathy is
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. It works with the structure and function of the body and is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.
To an osteopath, for your body to work well, its structure must also work well. So osteopaths work to restore your body to a state of balance, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery. Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and to help your body’s own healing mechanisms. They may also provide advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.
Who and what do osteopaths treat?
Osteopaths’ patients include the young, older people, manual workers, office professionals, pregnant women, children and sportspeople. Patients seek treatment for a wide variety of conditions, including back pain, changes to posture in pregnancy, postural problems caused by driving or work strain, the pain of arthritis and minor sports injuries.
Regulation of osteopathy
All osteopaths in the UK are regulated by the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).
Osteopaths are required to renew their registration each year and we provide registrants with an annual licence to practise. As part of this process, the GOsC checks that osteopaths have current professional indemnity insurance, remain in good health and of good character, and have met mandatory continuing professional development requirements.
How it works
Whether you are seeking relief for back pain, have recently been in an accident and are experiencing neck pain or whiplash, or you have suffered a sports injury, our specialists are on hand.
As a client of ours, you will receive a treatment programme that is tailored to your specific needs, to ensure you begin to see results from the very first session.
Comfort is important to the healing process, which is why our sessions last 30 minutes to an hour and are arranged so that you see the same osteopath, physiotherapist or sports injury specialist every time.
Your first appointment with us is a consultation which includes an in depth consultation, examination and treatment. We will ask you questions and complete several physical tests to determine the best means of treatment for you and design your programme.
Contact us to book your first session with us, or if you have any questions about our treatments.
