Professionalism & safety are so important to us
Many people ask: “is Osteopathy a regulated and recognised profession?” To qualify as an Osteopath, an Osteopath must study for four to five years for an undergraduate degree (depending on which University they attend), although they all share the same commitment to professionalism and safety.
The content is in many ways similar to a medical degree, but with more emphasis on anatomy, physiology and musculoskeletal medicine, rather than drugs and surgical procedures.
Training
The degree also includes more than 1,000 hours of clinical training in osteopathic diagnosis and technique.
The law
By law, osteopaths must register with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).
It is an offence for anyone to call themselves an osteopath if they are not registered.

Your Osteopath Phil Wise is registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GosC) as our professionalism and your safety are so important to us.
