Osteopathy

• Every year over 6,000,000 patients in Great Britain consult an osteopath
• Osteopathy is a safe and natural system of manual medicine that diagnoses, treats and helps to prevent problems arising from and within the musculo-skeletal system (muscles, bones, joints, organs, connective tissue)
• Osteopathy requires a detailed knowledge of anatomy, physiology and methods of clinical investigation on the part of the practitioner.
• Each of our London Osteopaths is registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) and fully insured

What an Osteopath do?

• Osteopaths diagnose and treat complaints occurring due to injury, stress, disease and accidents.
• Osteopaths aim to enable the musculoskeletal system to work as efficiently as possible by disencumbering it from unnecessary stressors.
• Osteopaths harness the body’s innate healing processes in the search for health and normal function.
• Osteopaths believe a caring approach and attention to individual needs is paramount.
• Osteopaths refer patients on to a registered medical practitioner when appropriate.
