I am often asked by potential and new patients what to consider when booking Bristol Osteopaths, and there are a few basic things to think about.

The most important thing to consider in a Bristol Osteopath when looking to book one is that they are registered with the governing body for Osteopaths in the UK, the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).

All professional, trained and qualified Bristol Osteopaths will be registered with the GOsC, and will be on the GOsC register. To see my GOsC membership and registration details, visit here.

Right now, the next important consideration for any Bristol Osteopath is that they offer a Covid-safe osteopathic clinic environment for patients. During these difficult times, many of my patients have been reassured during their visits, due mainly to my operating within government guidelines around Covid-19.

I recently blogged about the Covid-safe osteopathy clinic in Bristol where I treat patients – to find out more, please visit here.

Another element to consider when reviewing Bristol Osteopaths is their range of patient expertise, and whether they specialise in any specific particular osteopathic area which might benefit you in particular.

For example, as a leading Osteopath in Bristol, I specialise in the following treatment areas for patients:

Sporting-related injuries and injury prevention, for many activities including running and cycling.

Cranial osteopathy for infants, toddlers and adults

Osteopathic treatment for office-based patients

Another possible consideration when booking Bristol osteopaths is whether they offer online-based consultations, as well as in-clinic appointments. This might be relevant to vulnerable patients through the current Covid-19 situation. Some patients are needing to self-isolate or shielding themselves or may even just want the convenience of online-based osteopathic advice and help.

Many of my new patients also comment on the free online resources I offer via my website. They often find theses really useful before they book in.

These online resources are split into two main areas on my website, namely:
