Osteopathy – Frequently Asked Questions
What does an osteopath do?
An osteopath diagnoses and treats problems with muscles, joints, and posture to relieve pain and improve movement. Treatment is gentle and hands-on, focusing on restoring balance and helping the body heal naturally.
What conditions can osteopathy help with?
Osteopathy can help with back pain, neck and shoulder pain, joint stiffness, sciatica, headaches, sports injuries, and postural problems.
Is osteopathy painful?
Most osteopathic techniques are comfortable and gentle. You may feel mild soreness for a day or two after treatment, similar to post-exercise stiffness.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your condition. Many people notice improvement after 1–3 sessions, though chronic or long-term problems may need a short course of treatment.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No, you can book directly with an osteopath without a GP referral.
