General Aches and Pains
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of medical conditions. It works on the principle that structure and function of the body are reciprocally interrelated and that wellbeing is dependent on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue functioning smoothly together.
Osteopaths aim to restore your body to a state of balance in order to allow the body’s self-healing mechanisms to be effective. Osteopaths practising in the UK are highly skilled healthcare workers and have completed rigorous training, completing a four or five year degree course, studying anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, pathology, biomechanics and nutrition. A minimum of 1,000 hours of clinical training are required to qualify as an osteopath and continued professional development is a regulatory requirement.
Osteopaths must have professional indemnity insurance, be in good health and of good character, all of which are monitored by the regulatory body, the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).
Osteopathy can help provide relief for the body’s structural, mechanical and functional problems in people of all ages. Here are just a few examples that work well with online Telehealth consultations:
