An osteopath uses their clinical knowledge together with their highly skilled sense of touch known as palpation, to diagnose and treat people of all ages. Osteopaths are primary care practitioners with a statutory regulatory body (General Osteopathic Council) and have undergone rigorous clinical training for 4-5 years; they study anatomy, physiology, pathology and clinical subjects to a very high standard. Many go on to pursue post-graduate courses in their particular field of interest to deepen their knowledge of osteopathy, which is said to take a lifetime to understand its full therapeutic potential. The complexity of the human body and its ability to self heal is truly amazing so an osteopath commits to a lifelong journey of studying.
