What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a recognised system of diagnosis and treatment that lays its main emphasis on the structural integrity of the body.

Its main strength lies in the unique way the patient is evaluated from a mechanical and functional perspective and the manual methods of treatment applied to suit the needs of the individual patient. |

The osteopathic profession is now regulated by the General Osteopathic Council who administer the statutory register of osteopaths. Only those practitioners who have demonstrated that they are safe and competent in the practice of Osteopathy and have been trained to the same rigorous high standards are eligible to the title. |
