Your Questions About Osteopathy, Answered
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a hands-on approach to treatment that focuses on the overall health of your body rather than just the affected area. It aims to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal and restore balance. Common conditions treated with osteopathy include lower back pain, neck and shoulder discomfort, headaches, frozen shoulder, arthritis, and sciatica.
How much does it cost to see an osteopath?
At Active Life Rehab, an initial consultation with a registered osteopath is priced at £65.50. Follow-up treatments are £45 for 30 minutes or £60 for 45 minutes. During your consultation, your osteopath will recommend the most suitable treatment length based on your needs. We also work with most major UK health insurance providers. For assistance with claiming your treatment costs, please contact us before booking your appointment.
Is osteopathy better than physiotherapy?
Both osteopathy and physiotherapy aim to reduce pain and restore movement, but they adopt different approaches. Osteopathy takes a holistic view, using hands-on techniques to enhance overall balance, mobility, and circulation. Physiotherapy often focuses on targeted rehabilitation through specific exercises. At Active Life Rehab, we offer both treatments, allowing you to choose the approach that suits your needs best—or even combine them for a more comprehensive treatment plan.
Is it better to see a chiropractor or an osteopath?
Chiropractors typically focus on spinal and cranial adjustments, whereas osteopaths take a broader approach, addressing the whole body to improve musculoskeletal health. Osteopathy treatments involve gentle manipulation and soft tissue work, making it ideal for resolving a range of issues. If you’re looking for a skilled osteopath, our experienced team is here to help.
