Osteopathy is an established, recognised system of diagnosis and treatment that lays its main emphasis on the structural integrity of the body.

In other words osteopathy believes that symptoms often stem from abnormalities in the function of the body. These abnormalities which are causing your pain, can be corrected through osteopathic treatment, thus relieving your distress and discomfort.

Osteopaths are trained as Primary Healthcare Practitioners and are an integral part of rehabilitative care. As the first complimentary medicine to obtain government recognition in the UK, Osteopaths are governed and regulated by the General Osteopathic Council.

The Osteopathic Council of Ireland is the governing, regulating and representative body for Osteopathy in Ireland. The council aims to promote Osteopathy in Ireland for both Osteopaths and patients by ensuring that the highest professional standards have been reached and maintained by all its accredited members. The OCI aims to meet its main mission of Recognition through Regulation, by giving representation for the interests of the Public, Profession and the Professional.

All of its members have had a minimum of four years training or equivalence in an accredited Osteopathy Course with a minimum of 1000 hours of supervised Clinical tuition prior to graduation. All of its members are committed to continuous learning and professional development so that the public can be assured of the highest standards of patient care, ethics and clinical excellence.

The Council represents Irish Osteopaths in the Forum for Osteopathic Regulation in Europe (FORE) to ensure that the codes of practice in Ireland are at the highest European standard.
