Osteopaths in the UK are regulated by the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) and are recognised as an allied health profession by the NHS. Osteopathy uses manual therapy and a range of non-invasive techniques to provide pain relief. Osteopaths are trained to treat musculoskeletal issues, from back pain and neck problems to issues with the joints and muscles. It is a treatment that uses manual and physical therapy to reduce pain and improve the body's function.

Osteopathy can help alleviate pain with a range of conditions and concerns from sporting injuries, postural problems, hip and joint aches to digestive problems, migraines and rheumatic pain. The focus of osteopathic treatment is to handle the root cause of the symptoms, to reduce pain and discomfort and improve overall wellbeing. The benefits of Osteopathy include improved mobility, increased energy levels, a reduction in stress and muscle tension, and a positive impact on mood.
