Support Our Groundbreaking Project: Osteopathy for Medically Unexplained Physical Symptoms (MUPS)
Dear Friends and Supporters,
Today, we invite you to be a crucial part of our mission to reshape healthcare for people experiencing medically unexplained physical symptoms (MUPS). For the past four years, our team has provided relief and hope to patients with these often-overlooked conditions; to reach more people, we need your help.
THE URGENT NEED
MUPS presents unique challenges in healthcare. These patients experience intense, life-altering symptoms without a clear physical cause. 1 in 5 GP appointments is for MUPS, with no diagnosis despite the toll on their quality of life. Many of these individuals come from marginalized backgrounds, have lower incomes, and can’t access private therapies like osteopathy—leaving them with limited options.
THE SOLUTION WE'RE CREATING
At Core Clapton, we’re pioneering a powerful, integrative treatment model, combining osteopathy with psychological therapy. Osteopathy reconnects patients with their bodies, while psychological therapy addresses the emotional layers underlying their physical symptoms. Together these disciplines create a holistic approach that helps patients feel at ease and "at home" in their bodies.
Our model has been successful with our patients, but without an evidence base, we can’t secure the public funding needed to make this care accessible to all.
WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS NOW
This research has the potential to transform the way chronic pain and bodily distress are treated, prioritising a deeply personalised, collaborative approach over fragmented, symptom-based care. With your donation, we can collect the essential data needed to validate our approach and make it available to everyone—regardless of income or background.
