Developing Extraordinary Osteopaths

July Newsletter 2026

The League of Extraordinary Osteopaths (LXO)

Applications Are Now Open

Over the last few months we have been developing something we've wanted to create for a long time.

The LXO Osteopath Clinical Development Pathway.

It's not another CPD course or a library of videos. It's a structured approach to professional development that helps osteopaths integrate osteopathic principles, applied anatomy, technical skill and clinical reasoning into everyday practice, so they can achieve more meaningful and consistent results for their patients.

We're inviting just 10 committed osteopaths to become the inaugural cohort and help shape the future of postgraduate osteopathic development within The LXO.

If you've ever felt your clinical development lacked direction and you're ready to become the osteopath you know you're capable of being, we'd love to hear from you.

Applications close on 31st July.
