It depends on your health insurance provider, It may be possible to re-claim for a course of treatment but you should check in advance with your insurance company as soon as you plan to go for osteopathic treatment, in order to confirm the available level of cover and whether you will need to have a referral from your GP. We will provide you all the necessary invoice and documents to handover to your health insurance provider for further steps
Most patients ‘self refer’ to an osteopath for treatment. Although referral by a GP is not necessary, patients are encouraged to keep both their GP and osteopath fully informed, so that their medical records are current and complete and the patient receives the best possible care from both healthcare practitioners.
Osteopathic treatments are 45 minutes to 1 hours

At our clinic in Oman, we regularly see new mums who think pelvic pain after birth is ‘just part of motherhood’, but many have actually been struggling with Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) for months without even knowing it had a name.
SPD can cause pulling, stabbing or burning pain in your pubic bone, hips or inner thighs – especially when you move.
With gentle manual therapy + targeted exercises, we help your pelvis feel more stable, supported and pain-free.
You don’t have to suffer in silence. 💛

Shoulder clicking? Don’t panic — it’s not always “bone on bone.” 👀
That little *click, pop, or snap* you hear when you move your shoulder can feel scary, especially if you’re already dealing with shoulder pain or stiffness.
But as Dr. Mudathir, Osteopath and Founder of British Osteopathy Centre Oman, explains — shoulder clicking can happen for different reasons, such as:
✅ Tight muscles around the shoulder
✅ Tendons moving over the rotator cuff
✅ Shoulder blade movement over the ribcage
✅ Poor posture or restricted shoulder mobility
✅ Muscle imbalance or overuse
The important thing? Don’t self-diagnose.
A clicking shoulder doesn’t automatically mean your bones are rubbing together — but if it comes with pain, weakness, stiffness, or reduced movement, it’s worth getting assessed by a professional.
At British Osteopathy Centre in Muscat, our team looks at how your shoulder, neck, spine, ribs, and posture are working together to find the real cause behind your discomfort.
Because better movement starts with better understanding. 💪
📍If you’re experiencing shoulder pain in Oman, book an assessment with BOC and let our osteopath help you move with more comfort and confidence.
