This culminated in the opening of the statutory register of osteopaths by the GOsC in 1998.

Only qualified insured osteopaths that are able to show safe and competent practice along with continual professional development are allowed onto the register.

Our principal Osteopath is Andrew Marling. Andrew trained for 4 years (full time study) at the prestigious British School of Osteopathy in London, considered by many as the premier school in Europe.
