International Osteopathic Healthcare Week

14th April sees the start of International Osteopathic Healthcare Week, an opportunity for us all to focus on our health, with key advice and tips from your osteopath that you can easily introduce into your daily lives to keep you healthier and happier.

Osteopathic care is focused on optimising the health of people, and is suitable for people of all ages, from babies to the elderly. People who visit an osteopath consistently report high satisfaction with the care they receive(¹⁾ and express high confidence in the treatment and advice of their osteopath(²⁾, with rates in excess of 90% for both satisfaction and trust.

Osteopaths use a wide range of safe and effective hands on techniques that focus on improving mobility and optimising function, together with useful health advice and exercise. People commonly visit osteopaths for musculoskeletal issues, such as back, neck, joint, muscle and arthritic conditions, but people also visit osteopaths for a variety of other health reasons which may benefit from osteopathic care.

At BCOM Clinic we are renowned for our unique holistic or naturopathic approach to osteopathy. We are offering FREE Osteopathic Consultations as part of our student exams until 25 April. For further information please contact the BCOM Clinic reception on 020 7435 7830 or email appointments@bcom.ac.uk
