Paul Brooks is an osteopath with 20 years experience, based in Hessle, which is easily accessible from Hull, Beverley and Barton upon Humber

Osteopathy is similar to chiropractic, physiotherapy and the ancient art of bonesetting. It is an amazing, gentle and effective, manual healing technique that can help with a wide range of problems. Many people feel that it not only fixes their aches and pains and injuries, but also helps them achieve greater well-being.

In 2017 osteopathy gained the status of an Allied Health Profession in the UK, alongside Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy and Podiatry

However, the principles and philosophy of osteopathy are quite different to the conventional medical model. It aims to be more natural and holistic; helping patients to feel better and achieve better health, ideally without reliance on medicines.

The clinic is in a lovely space above Philip Sheridan’s hairdressing salon in the Weir, Hessle. If patients have difficulty ascending the stairs, it may be possible to arrange a home visit or to use an alternative location; Paul sees some patients at Broomsticks in Chanterlands Avenue, Hull.

Osteopaths are regulated by statute in the same way as mainstream medical professionals.
