Osteopaths and the NHS: Our Role
The Need for Musculoskeletal Expertise:
- High Demand: Muscle and joint problems account for 17–30% of all GP appointments each year.
- Wider Impact: These issues are the second largest cause of sickness absence and are often a factor in depression.
- Collaborative Care: We work directly with GPs to provide timely and effective treatment, significantly reducing the need for further care and easing pressure on NHS resources.

Community & Charity Support
We believe that mental attitude is a major factor in health and recovery. Since many patients arrive worried or in distress, we integrate a “coach” approach into our care plan, promoting motivation and self-awareness.
To further this commitment, we proudly support two vital organizations:

Supporting Young Minds
We are proud supporters of Young Minds, the UK’s leading charity championing the wellbeing and mental health of children and young people.

- How We Help: We donate a portion of the sales from our heat packs directly to Young Minds.
- Get Involved: You are invited to make a donation of your own and support this crucial work!
