Who’s the best osteopath in Bristol?

If you’re wondering who’s the best osteopath in Bristol, then I’d recommend bearing in mind a number of factors when choosing which osteopathy clinic is right for you.

I’m not about to claim in this News post to be the best osteopath in Bristol, but the tips here should give you a good idea of what to look for when thinking of booking osteopathic services in Clifton, Redland, Cotham or Westbury Park.

First and foremost, it is important to establish that the Bristol-based osteopath has experience and relevant qualifications to treat patients.

It’s critical to ensure that the osteopath you visit in Bristol is professionally qualified, and registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC). You can see my Council-registered information here.

It is also important to work with a Bristol osteopath who has a patient-focused approach, and who is willing to address any fears, concerns or questions a patient might have about working with an osteopath. Sincerity and honesty are also important to me and a personal recommendation is always good.

I have produced a series of FAQs with short, simple answers which my patients have found useful – please visit here to see them for yourself.

I also recommend a policy of ‘prevention is better than cure’ which essentially means that if a patient has an area of weakness such as their back, and they only see an osteopath in Bristol when in acute pain, why not consider ongoing maintenance visits instead. This aims to prevent those acutely painful episodes but also promotes a better daily quality of life.

Many of my patients come and see me for maintenance treatments, which enables them to enjoy less aches and pains, and in the “long run” is kinder on their bodies. Ongoing osteopathic treatment is often the best way to keep the body healthy. You wouldn’t drive your car without servicing it regularly.

An experienced osteopath in Bristol should also take a genuine interest in the patient as an individual, and seek to understand their overall health, lifestyle, health conditions, diet and general wellbeing.

As a leading provider of osteopathic treatments in Westbury Park, I pay a great amount of attention to each patient, and am always looking at them as an individual rather than a condition.

I have a number of areas of specialisation as well as providing a general osteopathic service. There are key groups of patients that I can help, including desk-based people, sporty types, the elderly and young children/babies – please visit here to find out more.
