Osteopathic Team
All our practitioners are registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) and are members of the British Osteopathic Association (BOA).
We use mainly structural techniques such as massage and manipulation but can also use visceral and functional techniques as and when appropriate. Every year, we attend courses and lectures on a wide range of osteopathic subjects in order to improve patient care.
