Reports have estimated that the total cost of back pain corresponds to between 1% and 2% of Gross National Product (GNP).

Musculoskeletal disorders were the most commonly reported type of work-related illness in a recent survey. 520,000 suffered from a disorder mainly affecting their back. This means that on any one day, about 1% of the working-age population are on sickness absence due to a back problem and on average each sufferer took about 20 days off in that period.

Early intervention with Osteopathy can significantly reduce the number of days taken off work. In fact we actively encourage an early return to work.

Not only will we treat the pain, we will review the possible causes of pain and advise on remedial measures and exercise to minimise it's re-occurrence.

We offer treatment packages to companies and organisations that help you and your staff/members remain as healthy as possible.
