Osteopaths are trained to degree level for 4, sometimes 5 years, and study osteopathic principles and manipulative manual medicine. Techniques are underpinned by research (evidence-based practice) and supported by robust clinical reasoning. An osteopath understands how abnormal joint and soft tissue functions can result in the breakdown of the body’s normal working pattern. They understand that the body has an innate ability to adapt and that sometimes those adaptations can fail, causing pain and effecting the way joints move. Osteopaths look to treat the cause of the problem by improving motion in the joints, creating an environment which allows the body to regulate itself and heal. As a result, normal activities can be resumed as quickly and as safely as possible.
