I received with eager hands my Keele University certificate making official my BSc in Osteopathy, with a fair 2.2 or Desmond Tutu. Alas my registration as an osteopath will now be set back at least a fortnight as my latest CRB has just expired. But what about my working as an unregistered osteopath? Or put another way how is treating people using the osteopathic diagnosis approach?

It still impresses me when people get of my treatment table and exclaim their delight at how different they feel! Occasionally people do not respond, which is really irritating for both parties. Fortunately unresponsive patients are few and far between. Still people who do not feel improved do not re-book, and therefore my desire to learn new approaches, ask more precise questions, test my patient's pain presentation more accurately and  figure out what is causing the patient their pain. So in conclusion working using the osteopathic screen is challenging and rewarding!
