Bishops Cleeve Osteopaths

Bishops Cleeve Osteopaths is in Cheltenham, with one clinic site. It provides osteopathic care for the whole family, including newborn babies, children, teenagers, adults, older people and patients who are pregnant. The clinic has provided osteopathy locally since 1997.

The practice offers treatment for back pain, neck pain, joint pain, trapped nerves, repetitive strain injury and arthritic pain. Care is focused on the individual at the appointment, with osteopathic assessment and treatment planned around your symptoms and medical history.

The osteopaths use a range of gentle techniques, including structural, visceral and cranial osteopathy. The team’s work also includes spinal and soft tissue manipulation, post-partum treatment, electrotherapy and RockTape application. Cranial techniques and children’s osteopathy are part of the clinic’s stated work with babies and children.

At a first appointment, the osteopath takes a detailed medical history, including the reason for your visit, then examines and treats you as appropriate. For children, treatment rooms have toys and books, and babies may be fed during treatment if needed.

The clinical team’s stated interests and training include musculoskeletal conditions, cranial osteopathy, treatment involving the body’s organs and systems, post-partum care, work with patients of different ages and physical abilities, and Homotoxicology. The osteopaths named by the practice are registered with the General Osteopathic Council and are members of the Institute of Osteopathy.
