What is osteopathy
Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that can help with pain and dysfunction caused by a wide range of conditions - most often related to the musculoskeletal system, but also to the nervous, circulatory, lymphatic and digestive systems.
​
Osteopaths use various manual techniques in their treatments, including mobilisation, manipulation and massage of joints and muscles, to achieve increased range of movement, improved circulation and general relaxation.
​
In the UK, osteopathy is a healthcare profession regulated by the General Osteopathic Council, and all osteopaths must be registered with this body and hold professional indemnity insurance in order to practice.
