About Osteopathy

Osteopathy is an established Primary Healthcare system, which means you don't need see your GP first, you can come straight to an Osteopath. 

• Osteopathy  mainly focuses on diagnosing and treating problems  in the Musculoskeletal system  i.e. muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, joints 
• Osteopaths are trained to spot when the source of a problem  or pain is not Musculoskeletal but is coming from another area of the body (e.g. organs like the gall bladder or kidney) 
• Osteopaths can ensure you get a quick referral to other specialists if required
