Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at belvoirosteopathy@btinternet.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

It is recommended to wear comfortable and loose-fitting clothing to an osteopathy appointment. This will allow the osteopath to easily access any areas of the body that needs treatment. For example, if you have shoulder pain, please wear a vest that exposes your shoulder. If you have knee pain, please wear shorts or trousers/leggings that roll up above the knees.

Avoid wearing restrictive clothing such as jeans, as this may make it difficult for us to perform your treatment.



Your treatment and treatment plan is tailored to you. Recovery time varies depending on the cause of your pain, aggravating factors and a whole host of different factors that play a role in pain presentation.

Some patients we see only once and some we see ongoing for maintenance care in chronic pain.

We don’t sign you up to X amount of sessions for the rest of your life. We help you understand the cause, get you better and give you the tool to keep you pain free always

No, you do not need to see your GP before to see an osteopath. Osteopaths are allied healthcare practitioners and will work along side your GP, midwife, Podiatrist to help you get back to health. 

If the osteopath thinks you need further investigations including imaging, they can help you with a referral back in the NHS.


All osteopaths in the UK are regulated by the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC). It is against the law for anyone to call themselves an osteopath unless they are registered with the GOsC, which sets and promotes high standards of competency, conduct and safety.

Osteopaths all have to complete 90 hours of continuing professional development per CPD cycle to ensure their knowledge is up to date. 


What our patients say

About osteopathy

Osteopathy is a healthcare discipline that incorporates a diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. Osteopathy works with the underlying principles that the well-being of an individual depends on the structure and function of the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue functioning efficiently together. 

Osteopathy focuses on restoring the body to a state of balance where possible without intervention of drugs or surgery. The treatment incorporates physical manipulation, stretching, massage to reduce muscle tension, increase mobility and further enhance blood supply to tissues to aid the body’s own healing mechanism. 


Regulation of Osteopathy

All osteopaths in the UK are regulated by the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC). As part of this process, the GOsC checks that osteopaths have current professional indemnity insurance, remain in good health and of good character, and have met mandatory continuing professional development requirements.
