What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a well established and recognized system of diagnosing, treating and preventing musculoskeletal disorders (pain arising in the muscles, joints, nerves, ligaments and tendons).
It takes four years full time or five years 'modified' attendance to train to be an osteopath. This length of time is required in order to acquire the necessary knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology and differential diagnosis as well as to develop the clinical skills needed to treat people.
The General Osteopathic Council is the regulating body for osteopaths and schools of osteopathy have to satisfy the council that their syllabus meets their rigorous standards of training.
Osteopaths are awarded a diploma (represented by the letters D.O. after ones name), and a Bachelor in Osteopathic Science with Honours ( represented by the letters BSc Ost Hons after ones name).
How is the profession regulated?
The title of 'Osteopath' became legally protected through an act of Parliament a few years ago which means that you can only call yourself an osteopath if you have completed a course of study (usually 4 years full time) at a school recognised by the General Osteopathic Council the regulating body for osteopathy. This ensures a high standard of training and adherence to a strict code of conduct so that members of the public can have every confidence they are in safe professional hands.
