About Osteopathy

Picture
The core principle of osteopathy is that all parts of the body should function together in an integrated manner to achieve maximal function and well-being.  

If one part of the body is restricted the rest of the body must adapt and compensate, eventually leading to inflammation, pain, stiffness and other problems.

Osteopathy focuses on hands-on manipulation of the body’s musculo-skeletal system in order to treat a wide variety of ailments.  

It helps restore mobility and significantly improves the quality of life for many people without the use of drugs or surgery.

​Osteopathy is recognised by the British Medical Association an established system of diagnosis and manual treatment.

In 1993, osteopathy became the first complementary health care profession to be given statutory recognition, giving patients the same safeguards they have when they consult a doctor or dentist or surgeon.

.
Osteopathy involves the mechanical and functional evaluation of the person.  Treatment is tailored to each person's individual needs and preferences.  To an osteopath, for your body to function well, its structure must also work well so we'll work to restore a state of balance using touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, relieve muscle tension, enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues and to help stimulate your body’s natural healing mechanisms. 
 
Osteopaths may also provide advice on posture, diet, lifestyle and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.
 
Dr. Steve Sandler D.O PhD, speaks of the origin, concepts and philosophies behind Ostepathy and gives a genuine insight into the profession.

Title Protection

To qualify, an osteopath must study for four to five years for an undergraduate degree. This is similar to a medical degree, with more emphasis on anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and musculoskeletal medicine and includes more than 1,000 hours of clinical training. By law, osteopaths must register with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC). It is an offence for anyone to call themselves an osteopath if they are not registered. The British Medical Association’s guidance for general practitioners states that doctors can safely refer patients to Osteopaths and Osteopathy is offered on the NHS in many part of the country.
