Welcome to the Vitality Centre in Wandsworth, London SW18. Our London Osteopaths are here to help with any injuries, pains or problems you may have.
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a holistic (whole body) non-invasive, manual medicine that focuses on total body health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework – joints, muscles, ligaments and spine.
Its aim is to positively affect the body’s nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems, as well as helping to treat specific problems.
Osteopathy can be useful in treating many conditions and can be beneficial to people of any age.

Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy is a very gentle form of treatment that is safe for children and babies and used to treat the whole body. Additional advice on hydrotherapy, exercises and nutrition might be given. This unique treatment is tailored to suit each individual. The result is a reduction in pain and inflammation, an increase in mobility and co-ordination, and a balance of strength and total well-being.
Osteopathy is an established system of clinical diagnosis and manual treatment recognized by the British Medical Association. BUPA, PPP, AVIVA, PRU Health and other health insurance covers are accepted – please ask when booking, if your osteopath is covered by your specific insurance group.
