Many of you may not have come across an osteopath or know what an osteopath is or does. We aren't available on the NHS in Scotland yet and there are only 161 of us registered here. We are fully registered with the General Osteopathic Council. Simply, we treat any muscle or joint pain through manual therapy.
Manual therapy includes massage, manipulations, mobilisations (getting tissues/joints/muscles moving) and sometimes acupuncture. Each patient is treated based on their individual needs and how well they respond to a particular treatment. For example, if two patients each had the same knee injury, one may respond to acupuncture whereas the other may benefit more from deep massage.

What To Expect
Report
During your first visit for Osteopathy we will take a thorough case history to include information about the present complaint/condition and also a background medical history. We will take the time to listen and we will ask questions to help us formulate our diagnosis. We will then assess the site of pain, your general posture and mobility.
