PROFESSIONALISM AND SAFETY

All Osteopaths in our clinic have studied five years for a Masters degree at the British School of Osteopathy. This is similar to a medical degree, with emphasis on anatomy and musculoskeletal medicine. Training includes more than 1,000 hours of osteopathic techniques.

All osteopaths in our clinic are registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).

The British Medical Association’s guidance for general practitioners states that doctors can safely refer patients to osteopaths. Osteopathy is recommended by National Institute of ClinicalExcellence (NICE) for lower back pain. Osteopathy is safe, natural and effective.
