Castle Osteopaths & Complementary Therapies

The ethos of the clinic is early intervention, assessment and diagnosis of an individual’s needs. This is likely to result in the best opportunity for recovery and return to good health. Castle Osteopaths was established in Thetford by Simon Nembhard in 1995 who is a registered Osteopath, Physiotherapist and Acupuncturist.Osteopathy is a hands on manual therapy and a recognised system of diagnosis and treatment, which lays its main emphasis on the structural and functional integrity of the body. It is distinctive by the fact that it recognises that much of the pain and disability which we suffer stems from abnormalities in the function of the body structure as well as damage caused to it by disease. General Osteopathic Council (2001)Osteopaths are Primary Healthcare Practitioners, which means that you do not need to be referred by a doctor to see one. They are qualified to diagnose, treat and/or refer you for your condition. For this reason Osteopaths have all undergone rigorous training, undertaking a four-year honours degree and all are registered to the General Osteopathic Council (a government regulatory body similar to the General Medical Council for doctors).
