Although British osteopaths do not prescribe medicine and perform surgery as do their American counterparts, their profession is recognized in the UK as a scientific system of healthcare. The Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) used is exactly the same as in the United States and includes muscle energy, high-velocity low-amplitude techniques, counterstrain, facilitated positional release, and cranial osteopathy, among others. Registered osteopaths have received a diploma in osteopathy.
