Osteopathy
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is based on principles of your body’s self-healing powers, it considers the relationship between structure and function and the unity of your body, mind and spirit. So as no two people are the same our osteopaths take care to work with you in a way that is as unique as you are. We take a tailored, whole person approach, working with you to consider all aspects of your life including lifestyle, medical history, and physiology and anatomy, to establish a diagnosis and personalised health plan.
We are active in our patient partnerships and use a process of shared decision making with our patients to agree a management plan that may include osteopathic treatment (hands-on treatment tailored to your needs), exercise, health and lifestyle advice. If necessary, we can refer you onwards to your GP or another healthcare professional.
All of our osteopaths are highly trained (4 year degree course) and registered with our professional regulator, the General Osteopathic Council. We actively keep our skills up to date with regular continuing professional development. Our osteopaths are leaders of the profession in the fields of education,health and member engagement both in the UK and internationally.

What conditions do you treat?
Osteopathy can help people of all ages from newborn to senior citizens, including pregnant women, children, sports people, those with persistent pain (e.g. arthritis, hypermobility), to support recovery from injury and to prevent future health problems.
A holistic approach
One of our key osteopathic concepts is that if the structure of your body has been impaired, then it is unable to function efficiently.
Your osteopath will carry out a thorough assessment, examining the structure of your body, by observing your posture and mobility, and then using the appropriate hands-on techniques to improve your function and thus returning your body to a state of optimal health.
This form of assessment is one of the great strengths of the osteopathic profession, as it takes into account, what you tell us about yourself, your lifestyle and history, in order to treat the cause of your symptoms, not just the symptoms. We work in partnership with our patients.
The initial consultation takes an hour, which provides us with the opportunity to listen and consider issues that may seem unrelated, yet maybe crucial to your wellbeing.
As part of your care plan we may discuss exercise and lifestyle advice, you will be encouraged to discuss any questions about your symptoms or recovery with your osteopath who throughout will provide ongoing support and direction as you require.
