What does an Osteopath do?

An Osteopath is a healthcare professional who uses hands-on techniques to improve joint mobility, relieve pain, and support the body's natural healing processes. Treatment focuses on the muscles, joints, and connective tissues to restore balance and movement.

Yes. Osteopathy is a safe, regulated healthcare practice in the UK. Osteopaths are registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) and trained to adapt techniques for each individual’s needs and health conditions.

Do I need a GP referral to see an Osteopath?

No. You don’t need a GP referral to book an appointment with an Osteopath. You can book directly with Total Health Osteopathy at any time.

What conditions can Osteopathy help with?

Osteopathy can help with a wide range of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, joint stiffness, sports injuries, headaches, postural issues, and tension-related discomfort. It can also support recovery after injury and improve overall mobility.

How many Osteopathy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, its severity, and how your body responds to treatment. Many patients feel improvement after one to three sessions, but your Osteopath will create a personalised treatment plan for you.

Does Osteopathy hurt?

Most Osteopathy treatments are gentle and should not be painful. You may feel some mild soreness after treatment, similar to post-exercise stiffness, which usually settles within 24–48 hours.

Can babies and children see an Osteopath?

Yes. Osteopathy is suitable for people of all ages, including babies and children. Techniques are adapted to be gentle and safe for younger patients. Cranial Osteopathy is often used for infants.

Total Health Osteopathy is based at Unit 6, Creykes Court, The Millfields, Plymouth, PL1 3JB, near the Cornwall border in South West England. Free parking is available on-site.
