 Louise
Louise qualified from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2006. She became aware of osteopathy after falling from a horse and having subsequent back pain. This resulted in her having osteopathic treatment throughout her teens, which relieved her problems. It was this insight plus her interest in biology and enthusiasm for sports which lead Louise down the ‘osteopathy route’. She treats using both a structural and functional approach. She is still a keen runner and holds a black tag in Tae Kwon-Do.
 Nav
Nav qualified in 2005 and has since gained experience working in GP surgeries and various multidisciplinary clinics in London. He is an osteopath with a holistic vision of healthcare. In addition to hands on treatment his aim is to educate patients and show them ways to manage their complaint through simple exercises and ergonomic advice. He has strong beliefs in rehabilitation, management and prevention techniques which helps to maintain the benefits of treatment in the long term and prevent further problems from developing.
 Liz
Liz qualified from the British School of Osteopathy in 2008. She first gained an interest after having her horse treated and embarked on a career change to become an osteopath - and decided to focus on people! Liz enjoys treating a range of patients and uses a structural approach utilising a range of techniques.
Osteopathy - Standards of training and practice
All osteopaths practising in the UK have completed rigorous training. Students of osteopathy follow a four or five-year degree course, during which they study anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, nutrition and biomechanics. In addition they undergo a minimum of 1,ooo hours of clinical training. Qualification generally takes the form of a bachelors degree in osteopathy - a BSc (Hons) , BOst or BOstMed - or a masters degree in osteopathy (MOst).
 The General Osteopathic Council (GOsc) sets the standards of osteopathic education, and requires qualified osteopaths to update training throughout their working lives, a process known as continuing professional development. The GOsC also ensures that all osteopaths comply with strict osteopathic practice standards and the profession’s Code of Practice. As well as completing the necessary training, osteopaths must also prove themselves to be in good health and of good character, and have professional indemnity insurance cover.
