So you are aware in advance of coming in, we will be wearing PPE as advised by our professional body. This will comprise an apron, face mask and visor if for medical reasons you are unable to wear a face mask. This is not anything to be concerned about, this is our way of ensuring your health and our commitment to your safety.
By the same token, we would also ask you to wear gloves and a mask or face covering when you attend the clinic (unless medically exempt). To help maintain social distancing and to allow us time to thoroughly disinfect surfaces between appointments, we are allowing additional time between appointments.

60 to 70% of us may suffer with an episode of low back pain at least once in our lives in industrialised countries (WHO). The world health organisation describes low back pain in this context.the causes of the onset of low back pain remain obscure and diagnosis difficult to make. Back pain is not a disease but a constellation of symptoms.
Osteopathy was developed by an American Doctor in the late 1800's called Andrew Taylor Still. He taught a philosophy of approach which centres on the body being a self healing mechanism. It is the job of the Osteopath to understand what the obstructions to that healing mechanism are and where possible endeavour to remove these obstructions.
Based in Rainham, we endeavour to provide the highest standards of Osteopathic healthcare to the public across the North Kent region and beyond. Established in 2000 we have been treating patients for ten years. The Osteopathic approach sees, diagnoses and treats each patient as a unique individual with their own unique requirements for health.
At the Rainham Osteopathic Clinic we are proud to have helped many people since 2000, the best recommendations are those from people you know or in your local area asking them directly from their experience. Please ask around your friends and family if they know anyone who has been to the clinic and ask their opinion.
We often prescribe regular specific exercises as part of your treatment and you can find more information on these, along with some general advice on driving, gardening and sleeping without aggravating your back, neck or body. Osteopathy can be used to treat a range of common complaints with a wide range of techniques available.
