We combine osteopathy, acupuncture, exercises, and other treatments to get the best results.
What is an Osteopath?
- Osteopaths are primary healthcare professionals regulated by law.
- UK standards of osteopathy are set, maintained, and developed by the General Osteopathic Council – the profession’s statutory regulator.
If you have questions or concerns about any aspect of osteopathic care, please contact the General Osteopathic Council at https://www.osteopathy.org.uk.
All of our practitioners are fully trained and qualified to practice Osteopathy in the United Kingdom. To maintain our registration, we are required to renew our license to practice annually. As part of this process the GOsC checks that we have current professional indemnity insurance, remain in good health and good character, and have met mandatory continuing professional development requirements.
The title ‘Osteopath’ is protected by law, and only those on the UK statutory Register are entitled to call themselves osteopaths.
To renew our registration with the GOsC we must provide the GOsC with confirmation that we have undertaken a minimum of 30 hours of continuing professional development (CPD) every year. We are required to undertake CPD activities that will maintain our skills and enhance our practice of osteopathy. CPD could be in the form of training courses, lectures, practice meetings, or research activities.
