Osteopathy is the first complementary therapy to be recognized in the UK, giving new protection to patients. On 1st July 1993 The Osteopaths Bill became law and osteopathy in the United Kingdom is now recognized as a bona fide medical treatment.
For the 5 million people in Britain who visit an osteopath each year, legislation means that they will now have the same legal protection they receive when consulting a doctor or a dentist.
