It is important to ensure that your osteopath is fully qualified and registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOSC). All veterinary osteopaths have trained to treat humans at undergraduate level before commencing post-graduate qualifications in veterinary osteopathy. In addition to proper qualification, ensure your veterinary osteopath is fully insured.
It is a legal requirement in the UK that Veterinary consent must be obtained prior to consultation with an osteopath. The Veterinary Surgery (Exemptions) Order 1966 allows for the treatment of animals by physiotherapy, provided that the animal has first been seen by a veterinary surgeon who has diagnosed the condition and decided that it should be treated by physiotherapy under his/her direction.

Michael and Abbey came recommended by our saddler. Now we are coming up to our second appointment for both horses, one veteran and one 9 year old, I wanted to say a big thank you for the difference you have made. We have noticed significant improvement. Our mare had a tight spot on her neck which was obviously causing discomfort and this was relieved from treatment one and has made a real difference to how she is working. She’s also tracking up much better. Our veteran is clearly more comfortable too. I’ve always been sceptical of the benefits of different treatments but can genuinely say this
