What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy
Osteopaths use an in-depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology combined with osteopathic principals to assess and diagnose problems within the body. We will take into account factors such as your job, posture, sports and previous injuries when treating and giving advice. By law, all osteopaths must be registered with the General Osteopathic Council.

with arthritis.
