What osteopathy is

Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. It is a gentle and effective hands-on approach to healthcare, based on the principle that the way your body moves influences how it functions. Osteopaths work on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments, nervous system and connective tissues ensuring that all these structures of the body are functioning smoothly together. Osteopaths are highly competent primary healthcare professionals, recognised by the NHS as fully qualified to diagnose and treat independently. You do not need to see your GP before seeing your Osteopath.
