Whether it is to help your return to work following injury, or for a persistent niggly backache, or to improve your performance in a chosen sport, we are here to help. Alastair Scott is registered with the General Osteopathic Council, working with the public and osteopathic profession to promote patient safety by registering qualified professionals, and setting, maintaining and developing standards of osteopathic practice and conduct. Osteopathic treatment is a form of manual medicine that complements orthodox medicine. Osteopaths are recognized for successful treatment of back pain but are not limited to this problem area. Osteopaths identify areas of tension throughout the body around the spine and other joints, as well as certain muscles. The treatments are just as effective in all parts of the body, from ankle pain to knees, hips, wrists, elbows and neck.
