- 01Osteopathy has one of the best safety records of any medically related profession. Osteopaths are trained to recognize any condition for which their treatment may not be recommended, and referral to another medical professional is made whenever needed. Different techniques are chosen according to the needs of each individual patient, and safety is always the primeconsideration. The Osteopaths Act (1993) created a regulatory and governing structure similar to those in place for doctors and dentists.

They may use various pieces of equipment, soft tissue technique and provide an exercise routine. They are often the first line of approach as treatment is available on the NHS. If you go to an Osteopath with a knee problem, as well as looking at the local area, the osteopath will look at the structural mechanics throughout the body to understand how and why the knee problem has arisen. You may find that the oteopath treats your neck to de-stress the knee, producing a resolution in other longer-term problems.
