Our osteopaths work closely with you to understand your unique needs, medical history, and lifestyle. This allows us to create tailored treatment plans that cater to your specific condition and goals. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, or postural issues, our goal is to provide you with long-lasting relief and improved functionality.

On your first visit, your osteopath will take a detailed case history, including previous medical complaints and conditions that may be relevant to your current complaint.

They will then carry out a physical examination which will not only look at the area of the complaint but also look at how the body is functioning more generally.

After this they may ask you to do some simple movements or stretches, to observe your posture and mobility.

After this, your osteopath will explain fully what they feel is causing your condition/ complaint and discuss a treatment plan that is suitable for you and that they feel is appropriate. 

Your osteopath is likely to ask you to remove some of your clothing during your physical examination so that they can examine you properly but you will be provided with a towel and/ or gown if you feel you need one.

In the UK, Osteopathy is an established primary health care system and is a statutorily regulated profession overseen by the General Osteopathic Council requiring the successful completion of a four-year degree course which includes at least 1000 hours of supervised clinical practice. They then must undertake ongoing continual professional development throughout their careers, logging a minimum of 30 hours per year.

Osteopathy is recognised by the British Medical Association, World Health Organisation and the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE).

Registered Osteopaths treat more than 7 million people each year in the UK, making the profession a major provider of primary health care.

Osteopathy is a method of assessment, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal and other related disorders. 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.

Osteopaths use a holistic approach and take time to understand their patient, and their unique combination of symptoms, medical history and lifestyle. This helps make an accurate diagnosis of the cause of the pain or reduction function (rather than just addressing the site of pain). Using this approach an osteopath will formulate a treatment plan for the individual patient, not their condition, that will achieve the best outcome.

An Osteopath will treat the patient using a combination of hands-on techniques including movement, stretching, targeted deep tissue massage and skilled manipulation of a person’s spine and joints with the aim to improve function, relieve pain, aid recovery and restore a state of balance within the body.
