| Osteopathy - Not Just for Backs | First visit discount voucher |
I became interested in osteopathy after needing treatment for a leg injury whilst training for marathons. Having already a degree in Industrial Design and a father who was a structural engineer I have a love of finding out how things work.
Osteopathy believes that the back, and the spinal column, are just one part of a whole that also includes the muscular system, the nervous system, the blood vessels and the other organs, all of which should work in harmony, as a team. When one member of the team is not able to pull its weight, then other members have to compensate and adjust. Sometimes this works fantastically well: but at other times, something fails, and the result can be injury and pain.
Osteopathy looks at the whole body and tries to return it to balance.
If that sounds a bit hippy chick, then you'll be relieved to know that osteopathic training in the UK is extremely intense. Osteopathy is regulated by the General Osteopathic Council (in the same way that doctors are regulated by the General Medical Council), and under UK law, no-one is allowed to call themselves an osteopath unless they are registered with the GOsC.
I spent four years getting my BSc (including studying anatomy to a much greater level than most medical students). Before that I was a qualified sports massage therapist. After my basic degree I went on to study a further two years to gain an MSc in Paediatric Osteopathy in addition to being a Registered Osteopath.
"After many years of seeing different chiropractors, I discovered Sue, who spent so much time and care.
She really has helped my neck and back problems, I always feel so good after a treatment.
I highly recommend her. She's BRILLIANT!!"
