I really needed this video, it's been rough the past 6 months with my new clinic been having so many sleepless nights wondering what I can do better and if I'm the one to help the people I treat. But every once in a while patient comes in that has great results and it makes it all worth it. the financial part is crippling and i recommend opening all doors available and making new ones, currently operating on 2 countries which has helped me a lot

Running your own clinic is hard for sure and there will always be good times and bad times. It's good to question what you're doing as that's what leads to improvement. Not every patient who walks into your clinic will be helped but as long as you are honest they will appreciate that. Reach out to me by email if you want to ask me anything. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you so much, I'm considering studying osteopathy, i studied biomedical science previously but did not complete my BSc, now i'm thinking about potential pathways and this channel is very helpful, love your videos, great work; best wishes

Thank you for sharing the vid. 7:37s into the video, when you say "some people can't be fixed". An anterior sacral torsion causing slight lordosis would be treatable? would really appreciate your insight into the matter.
I am an Osteopath as well and relate very well to your video! Nice to hear that :)

This is the most useful and authentic tips I've ever seen.Thanks a lot. May I ask do you know what difference between U.K ,Canada and Australia of Osteopathy learning? Is U.K issued post-graduate diploma same as CA? Thank you :)

Hi Wang, I'm so sorry for the delay in getting back to your comment! Thanks for the kind words too. From what I understand the courses from all 3 countries are very similar with most offering 4 years full time or 5 years part time. I would imagine that the courses all cover the same core principles, techniques and theory but may vary in what they focus on. The same variation happens in our UK schools too. I know that as a UK osteopath I am able to work in both Canada and Australia. I hope that helps, Ashley
good advice thankyou for being honest

Make videos about what conditions you treat ease and what types of problems you find are very stubborn. What techniques do you use most? I use a lot of myofascial release, pin and stretch, 3rd is joint mobs

Hey Ashley, thank you for this video! I want to study osteo at the start of next year, but still having a lot of thoughts about whether I’d fit the role. I actually have a bachelors in business (marketing) and this would be my second degree. Was really surprised when you talked about the business side of things because now I feel that all the knowledge and time I’ve spent in corporate and my business degree is only going to be an added advantage? Would you think so?

Hi Achet, This is great to hear! You should definitely do it if you feel its something you'd like to pursue. Its great being able to help people so you'll be able to derive lots of fulfillment from that. In terms of the business aspect, this will definitely be a benefit for you when you open up your practice; unlike some of us who started from scratch and learned (and still learning) on the job. Wishing you the best whatever you decide! Best wishes, Ashley.
Thanks for making this video, this is awesome and really relevant helpful advice. I'll be starting my first year in February provided I get accepted and this has given me confidence I'm making the right choice in career. I'm also in nz which seems to have kinder climate for new osteopaths with only 2 schools so less competition upon graduation. I'll be interested to see what my experience is and how it compares to yours

Is it possible to go straight from A levels to the degree in osteopathy? Would it be preferable to enter training at any particular age? I know of only one person who went straight into osteopathy from school, most of the others converted from other professions. What's your view?

I just did a BA in an unrelated study. I’m really interested in doing an MA in osteopathic medicine, but I’m unsure if I need to retake A-levels (from 15 years ago). Are most graduating osteopathic students Bsc or MA?
@RockyM2
4 жыл бұрын
I’m not sure if you have to retake A levels to match the criteria. But you do most likely need a form of A level/course which entails principles of anatomy, physiology, etc... I’m going to study it this year and I finished 2 years of Level 3 sport in a college to give me the related skills needed. I did manage to do really well though, I got 168 tariff points (Triple D*) but on a normal diploma you’d need D*D* which is around an A I believe? You’d have to contact the Unis to see what they accept. Also, what area are you from?

Nope NopeNopeNope You definitely don’t mean London then lol, Swansea is proper far from here. I mean you can check out Plymouth uni? They’re really good for osteopathy. I’m going to BCOM which is part of the university too. Also, to answer your question about Bsc or MA, it depends on you. If you’re really good then MA will be best cos you can start from which ever one (I think it depends on what uni you go to). I’m doing up the MA one.
Are you the same thing as a D.O., doctor of osteopathy with 4 years of formal medical school training and 3 years of residency? Or this is a different form of training?
@PrecisionWellbeing

Hi +Charles Wright, no we are very different. In the US a D.O. is a physician who can prescribe medication. In the UK a D.O. means a Diploma in Osteopathy. We can't prescribe medication and only have 4 years of training. We deal primarily with musculoskeletal conditions. I hope that helps clarify. Ashley

I know in the video you mention that you became self employed nearly straight away but how long did it take before you actually made good revenue and had the business fully set up?

Yes I believe it can. I think it is a 5 year part time course, but I can't remember who offers the part time courses though. Best wishes, Ashley
I would not like to be your patient. In state of to develop your osteo skills (which is not an easy task as long human body is a really hitech machinery), you are just money and business oriented. I appreciate you recognize honestly that you can't fix the patiences, but charge them anyways!
