What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a healthcare profession that utilises a patient focussed, physical approach to restoring, maintaining and promoting physical and psychological well being. Primarily, treatments take the form of a manual therapy.
Osteopaths have been regulated by statute since 1993. They are trained to diagnose conventionally and also to use their hands to assess body function and dysfunction. This gives the osteopath uniquely sensitive information about the disability within the body and how this insight might be used to help restore health.

Osteopathy and Patient Protection
In 1993 Osteopathy became the first major complementary health care profession to be accorded statutory recognition under the 1993 Osteopaths Act. 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.
