Osteopathy is an established system of diagnosis and manual treatment which is recognised by the British Medical Association. In 1993, osteopathy became the first complementary health care profession to be given statutory recognition, giving patients the same safeguards they have when they consult a doctor or dentist. Osteopathy focuses on hands-on manipulation of the body’s musculo-skeletal system in order to treat a wide variety of ailments. It helps restore mobility and significantly improves the quality of life for many people without the use of drugs or surgery. We're situated in Norwich City Centre in partnership with Thai Herbal Retreat (http://www.thaiherbalretreat.co.uk/). Visiting us is easy with Pay & Display street parking just outside the building, we're also within easy reach of Castle Mall & St-Stephen car park. Please note that an osteopath must study for four to five years for an undergraduate degree. This is similar to a medical degree, with more emphasis on anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and musculoskeletal medicine and includes more than 1,000 hours of clinical training in osteopathy. By law, osteopaths must register with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC). It is an offence for anyone to call themselves an osteopath if they are not registered. We are fully insured and registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC), the British Osteopathic Assoiation (BOA) and a member of Back Care, a registered charity for people with back pain. We are also registered with multiple private insurance companies (please check).
