About the profession:

Osteopathy is a system of treatment that concentrates on the Musculoskeletal system,  bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and connective tissues of the body and the way that this interacts and effects the body as a whole. It is based on the philosophies and teachings of A.T. Still, the founder of Osteopathy in C19th, however due to regulation it has become more medical based and is now a primary health care profession. Osteopaths and physiotherapists are the group of practitioner who treat musculoskeletal disorders.

Osteopaths are monitored and regulated by the General Osteopathic council and must provide treatment in accordance with set guidelines established by this institution.

Osteopaths have to complete a four – five year degree graduating with a Masters in Osteopathy. Whilst at College they are taught a high level of understanding in pathology, physiology, clinical diagnosis, biochemistry, nutrition to name but a few. 

Osteopathy has become synonymous with the treatment of spinal pain. In reality osteopathy can also help treat joint pain, sports injury, headaches, occupational injury, arthritic pain to name but a few. It is suitable for people of all ages.

The effectiveness of osteopathy is a little-researched; however, the general consensus amongst healthcare professionals is that osteopathy is a valuable preventive measure as well as a proven means of reducing pain and improving posture; in turn, these benefits impact positively upon other areas and systems of the body, creating a better standard of general health.

The British Medical Association’s guidance for general practitioners states that doctors can safely refer patients to osteopaths.

Osteopaths very often work along side physiotherapist and other medical practitioner, like orthopaedic surgeons and Doctors. 

I have completed a sports tape and strapping course, which is a great aid when treating sports injuries, in rehabilitation or as a preventative to sports injury.

Whether you are a professional athlete, a recreational sportsperson, or perhaps someone who wishes to improve their physical fitness and maintain a healthy active lifestyle, an injury can occur following a traumatic event or it may be due to gradual onset. 

Whatever the cause, a rapid diagnosis and proper treatment will allow you to return to your normal activities in the shortest possible time.

 

At the initial consultation, the osteopath will take a detailed case history of the problem. You will be asked many questions about the current problem, past problems and other aspects of you’re past medical history.

The osteopath will examine you to help make a diagnosis of the problem, during the examination you maybe asked to remove some clothing.

After the case history and examination the osteopath will talk you through the diagnosis that has been made. If you are suitable for osteopathic treatment, this will be started at consultation.

The osteopath may not think osteopathic treatment is suitable at the time of consultation. This maybe because they would like to refer you for X-ray, MRI or back to you doctor or other healthcare professional for further investigation.

What does treatment involve?
 

•  Soft tissue manipulation and massage
•  Mobilisation of joints
•  Manipulation of joints
•  Sports Massage
•  Exercises
•  Strapping or taping
•  Interferential and ultrasound therapy

Children can be treated from birth. Many childhood ailments are traced back to unresolved strains at birth. A check by an osteopath of a newborn can identify such problems and offer the opportunity to gently correct it. 

It is a common belief that babies and children should have no structural stresses or strains in their bodies, because they are so young. The reality is very different.

Birth is one of the most stressful events of our lives. The baby is subjected to enormous forces, as the uterus pushes to expel the baby against the natural resistance of the birth canal. The baby has to twist and turn as it squeezes through the bony pelvis, on its short but highly stimulating and potentially stressful journey.

Osteopathy can bring relief to babies who seem to cry excessively and those with sleeping and feeding difficulties. Other conditions addressed are recurrent ear infections, behavioural and learning difficulties and headaches, among a few.

Sophie Hunt is a GOsC registered osteopath and a member of the British Osteopath Association.

Sophie graduated with a Masters in Osteopathy from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine after completing a four year degree. This included two years working in the college clinic and treating a wide range of problems on patients of all ages.

A masters degree in osteopathy requires being taught; clinical diagnosis over three years and completing modules in anatomy, physiology and pathology to name but a few.

Since graduating Sophie has worked at Darren Chan's Fight Factory in Purley, a kickboxing gym, where she has treated a range of kick boxing related and sports injuries.

Sophie has also worked with the Great Britain Kyokushinkai (knock down karate) team, based in Crawley.
