 Spinal Articulation / Spinal Manipulation

​

Bodyworks Manual Medicine ensures that all students are informed of the relevant legislation in Ireland and takes no responsibility for students who fail to comply.

 

Spinal Articulation and Spinal Manipulation are terms associated with specific techniques and are not intended to imply professional registration as an Osteopath. These courses provide training in these techniques but are not substitutes for a recognized degree program and do not qualify participants as Osteopaths.

 

Students must ensure that their descriptions of qualifications, whether on websites, social media, or advertising materials, clearly state that they are trained in specific manipulative techniques rather than being registered Osteopaths.

 

Using terms or titles that imply professional registration, such as Osteopath or Osteopathic Practitioner, is misleading and should be avoided.

​

All participants are obliged to follow the guidelines of their governing bodies. The training provided by Bodyworks Manual Medicine does not override the practicing limitations set out by these governing bodies. If you are unsure how this may affect you, please contact your own regulating body for more information.

 

Some registers will not allow spinal manipulation due to training limitations/agreements and internal policies, it is important that you check with your relevant register to see how this may effect you prior to undertaking any training .

 

This guidance is in line with the standards and professional expectations in Ireland and aims to ensure clarity and compliance in the communication of skills and training.
