Osteopaths typically combine hands-on treatment with advice on movement, exercise and self-management to support longer-term improvement.
Osteopathy is a form of musculoskeletal healthcare that looks at how joints, muscles and connective tissues contribute to pain, stiffness and reduced movement. In practice, many osteopaths take a whole-body approach, considering posture, activity, stress, sleep and everyday movement habits.
What happens in an osteopathy appointment?
Your first appointment usually includes a detailed history (symptoms, triggers, medical background, medications and lifestyle) and a physical assessment. An osteopath may assess posture, movement patterns and the range of motion in affected areas.
Treatment can include hands-on techniques such as soft-tissue work, joint mobilisation and guided stretching. Many osteopaths also provide exercises, load management advice and practical strategies to reduce flare-ups.
What can osteopathy be used for?
- Lower back pain and stiffness
- Neck pain and shoulder tension
- Joint pain and movement restriction
- Headache support where tension and neck factors are relevant
- Repetitive strain linked to work or daily habits
Safety and when to seek medical advice
Osteopathy is generally safe when provided by a trained professional, but it is not suitable for every situation. A responsible osteopath should screen for red flags and refer you for medical assessment when needed (for example: severe trauma, suspected fracture, infection, unexplained weight loss, progressive neurological symptoms, or bowel/bladder changes).
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your goals, how long symptoms have been present, and how you respond. Agree a review point (often after a small number of sessions) and track outcomes such as pain intensity, mobility and day-to-day function.

One of my favourite definitions of an osteopath is "Someone who solves a problem you didn't know you had in a way you don't understand, see also magician, wizard"
While it isn't totally accurate(?), it is a great conversation starter when someone asks me what I do.
