Visiting an Osteopath
The London School of OSteopathy Clinic
When should I see an osteopath?
The sooner you come with a problem, the more likely treatment will work quickly. However even if you have had a problem for years, osteopathy may still be able to improve your symptoms.
There are very few conditions that osteopathy is contraindicated for.
It is particularly useful during pregnancy, as no drugs or medicines are involved.
