Osteopaths in Essex

Osteopathy is not well-known in the UK as it does not have a prominent profile within the wider community. To address the issues that and speculations that arise in the absence of wide-spread understanding, we have compiled a repository of osteopathy resources which we hope will provide the background information needed to a address common questions.

Does osteopathy deliver effective health benefits?

The philosophy driving osteopaths is a belief that the body is often able to remedy itself. The first question asked by a practitioner is how can I understand the deep, underlying cause of the pain or illness? Having recognised the genesis of the problem, resolving it becomes much easier.

What will happen at the first session?

Like all medical professionals, osteopaths will start with a detailed patient history, asking lots of questions about how the patient sustained their injury, how long they have suffered a condition, how much exercise they take, what kind of work they do. They will then observe the patient moving under various scenarios to identify any structural issues.

Is there a form of mandated training in order to practise osteopathy in Essex?

In the first instance an osteopath must have an appropriate degree in osteopathy. In the UK there are 6 approved tertiary courses. In the US, Australia and US the training is similar and there are established protocols for recognising foreign degrees in the United Kingdom.

As part of their degree, students work alongside osteopaths observing treatments as well as giving treatment under supervision.

After qualification, most medical professions require practitioners to engage in continuing education programmes and osteopathy is no exception. Each year all osteopaths attend conferences and lectures.

Are osteopaths regulated?

All osteopaths are regulated by the Osteopaths Act 1993. The Act established the General Osteopathic Council to regulate the profession and maintain standards. It is an offence to work as an osteopath without being registered by the Council. If any patient wishes to pursue an allegation of professional misconduct against and osteopath, there is an official complaints procedure.
