Who we are

Uppingham Osteopaths provide a premier service for our clients. Using modern techniques and incorporating an evidence based approach, we are able to offer our clients an effective program for rehabilitation.



What to expect

At the first consultation, the osteopath will take a thorough case history of your symptoms, as well as asking about information regarding your lifestyle and diet. The osteopath may also observe you making some simple movements to help them form a diagnosis. You will usually be asked to remove some clothing near to the area to be examined.

Osteopaths are trained to examine areas of the body with a highly developed sense of touch, known as ‘palpation’ to determine conditions and identify the bodies points of weakness or excessive strain. Osteopathy is a ‘package’ of care that includes skilled mobilising and manipulative techniques, reinforced by guidance on diet and exercise.

The osteopath will discuss with you the most appropriate treatment plan, estimating the likely number of sessions needed to treat your condition effectively. If the osteopath thinks that your condition is unlikely to respond to osteopathic treatment you will be advised about how you can receive further care. Osteopaths are skilled in diagnostic clinical techniques and have trained to identify when a patient needs referring to another primary healthcare practitioner.
