The Osteopaths at Oak Park Osteopathic Clinic combine
a holistic approach with traditional osteopathic methods, using techniques
that bring together healing within the body and the mind. In this
way, our patients see improvements in general well-being as well
as addressing specific injuries or problems.
The four-year Osteopathic degree course involves
two years of classroom theory and two years of clinical practice.
The practitioners
at Oak Park Osteopathic Clinic all graduated with honours from the
two most highly regarded Osteopathic colleges, the European School
of Osteopathy in Maidstone and the British school of Osteopathy
in London.
We treat in a very similar way to each other,
allowing patients to feel confident about continuity of treatment.
Regular practise meetings and continued professional development
enable us to stay in touch with each other and
with the latest developments in the profession.
With the creation of the 1993 Osteopaths Act came
the founding of the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) and, in 2000,
the statutory register of Osteopaths. In order to use the title 'osteopath',
practitioners must adhere to standards of practise and conduct and
follow a compulsory program of continued professional development.
Patients can feel reassured that when they consult an osteopath,
they are seeing a skilled, registered professional. We
at Oak Park are fully registered with the GOsC.
