Understanding Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a patient-centered system of healthcare that recognizes the important link between the structure of the body and the way it functions. Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase joint mobility, relieve muscle tension, enhance blood supply to tissues and help the body's own healing mechanisms.

Based on the principle that wellbeing depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together, osteopathy takes a whole-body approach to health, focusing on how all the systems in your body work together.

Frequently Asked Questions About Osteopathy

Osteopathic treatment is generally gentle and should not be painful. Some techniques may cause mild discomfort, particularly when working on tense or injured areas, but this should be brief. Our osteopaths always work within your comfort level and adjust techniques based on your feedback. After treatment, some patients experience mild soreness for 24-48 hours, similar to after exercise.

The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, its severity, and how long you've had it. For acute injuries, 2-4 sessions may be sufficient. For chronic conditions, 6-8 sessions might be recommended initially. Most patients notice some improvement after their first or second session. After your initial assessment, we'll provide a personalized treatment plan with an estimated timeline.

While all three professions treat musculoskeletal issues, they differ in approach. Osteopathy takes a whole-body approach, examining how all body systems interact and affect each other. Physiotherapy often focuses more on specific rehabilitation exercises and movement patterns. Chiropractic treatment tends to focus primarily on spinal alignment and adjustments. Osteopaths use a wider range of techniques and consider factors like diet, lifestyle, and emotional wellbeing in treatment.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy movement and access to the areas needing treatment. For lower body issues, shorts or loose trousers that can be rolled up are ideal. For upper body concerns, a t-shirt or tank top works well. Your osteopath may ask you to remove certain items of clothing for proper assessment and treatment, but they will provide proper draping and respect your privacy. Gowns are also available if needed.

Yes, osteopathy is safe during pregnancy when performed by practitioners experienced in prenatal care. In fact, osteopathy can be particularly beneficial for pregnancy-related discomforts like back pain, pelvic pain, and sciatica. Our Liverpool Street osteopaths use gentle techniques appropriate for each stage of pregnancy and can help prepare your body for labor and delivery. Always inform your osteopath if you are pregnant or trying to conceive.

Many UK health insurance providers cover osteopathy treatments. Coverage varies by policy and provider. Our Liverpool Street clinic works with most major insurance companies including Bupa, AXA, Aviva, and Vitality. We can provide receipts and necessary documentation for reimbursement. We recommend checking with your insurance provider about your specific coverage before booking your first appointment.
