ABOUT

Good Health in Good Hands

Everyone is unique and no two presentations are the same. We enjoy the puzzle of working out the underlying causes and helping our patients get back to the activities they love. With our safe, gentle and effective techniques we ensure each treatment is specific to you, to help restore and maintain your optimum health. We treat all ages from new born babies through to older adults.

Our osteopathic training enables us to work with the relationship between the structure and function of the body. Rather than treat conditions and symptoms, we want to deeply understand all aspects of what is causing them and focus on releasing the root of the problem for lasting results.

What We Offer

The first step is to get in touch as we can discuss which of our team member is going to be perfect for you.

I've seen Sam Dobbie at Courtyard Osteopaths for a few different things over the past few months and each appointment has been very helpful. From relieving the pain in my neck that had been there for years, through helping to reduce my acid reflux, to realigning my face and relieving lots of pain after very invasive dental treatment. I would highly recommend Sam.

I have been using Jeni Briggs at The Centre for Whole Health for around 20 years. When my son was a baby we took him there for a number of health issues, mainly severe reflux. The help and support I received was incredible and literally life-changing for us as a family. As I have got older I am now coming for problems such as injuries received at the gym. I would much rather deal with the root of the problem than rely on painkillers. Jeni's expertise is excellent and she works in a holistic way, always fixing the problem I have. The centre itself is calm, warm and very friendly with a relaxing atmosphere. I cannot recommend it more highly.

My experience at the courtyard osteopaths has been exceptional and they will always be the first port of call for me in regards to solutions for my health. I have worked with Jeni Briggs for over a year and immediately on meeting her she could sense and understand my longstanding pattern of injury following a bike accident in 2018 which I should have sought help for much earlier. Jeni’s understanding of the human body and the ability to establish what treatment is required after just a few moments of observation always astonishes me. When I visit I always leave feeling lighter and more balanced and in less pain. My main issue has been sciatica and sitting and travelling have been what has caused flare ups . I know that after seeing a Jeni I will feel better and life will become more bearable. She also gives me exercises to do to help the effects last. I know I am says in safe hands and that there is care an attention in finding long lasting solutions. I am now going to make some appointments to explore hormonal and neevoisbsyeymbhealth as well as I didn’t previously realise this was working the remit of osteopathy. What a magical art it is.

We came to see Jeni for our baby daughter who had some clear discomfort especially present when in the car seat. We have been working with Jeni for a few weeks now and there’s a really clear improvement. She was also breech for a while late in my pregnancy which had likely lead to a tilt in her pelvis which Jeni was able to normalise. Jeni has also been working on a tightness through one side of her face which was mainly presenting with a gunky eye which she’d had since birth. Jeni has been fantastic and whilst we still need a few more sessions the difference in our little one has been incredible. So glad we found her!

I initially went to see Colette because of recurring issues with my lower back. At the time, I was also struggling to recover from a period of awful mental health, but I didn't think that would be relevant or affected by the osteopathy treatment. I was surprised and very pleased that, in the first session, Colette's assessment seemed very holistic, covering all aspects of my physical and mental wellbeing. I felt understood and optimistic about receiving genuinely holistic and also trustworthy healthcare. I had thought that osteopathy was just about bones and joints, and cracking thereof. In the following sessions with Colette, she was able to help calm my entire nervous system and I felt deep physical and mental relief as a result. The first time this happened I genuinely thought she had cast some magic! My back has improved over the last 5 months and, more importantly for me, I have made my way out of what was a dark and hopeless emotional state. There were lots of other factors in that recovery, but to have the regular help from Colette was really important and I am extremely grateful for this.

I have been seeing Jeni for a few years now with quite complex problems following on from multiple injuries. She has always been very kind, patient, professional and flexible with my treatment. As a results we have made amazing progress. I think may other osteopaths would have failed or given up!

What a transformation! I brought my 8 year old daughter here as she was grinding her teeth terribly at bedtime - I could hear her from the other room! After about 4 sessions the difference has been incredible - the teeth grinding is so much better! But more interestingly, she was a child who was quite 'hyper', found it hard to stay still, found emotional regulation hard and was very anxious falling asleep at bedtime - Jeni mentioned that these things could be linked to the tension in her body and I have to say I feel like we have a different child since starting the treatment - no more tantrums over tights or clothes not 'feeling right', much better at managing fatigue and emotional situations, she is so much calmer and school have said she is sitting and listening better in the classroom and she is considerably less anxious at bedtime. Thank you so much!

Sam Dobbie has made a huge difference to our family. After 3 years of recurring migraines, it was Sam's osteopathy that finally gave our daughter her smile back. He has treated other family members for dodgy knees and various other complaints. He is always gentle and friendly. I highly recommend!

Jeni Brigs has been treating me for many years, trough all my past traumas and illnesses. Recently I had heart surgery and cancer treatment and Jeni has been helping me healing both physically and mentally. As she treats my body she also gives me a place of safety and the courage to face what comes. Without her I wouldn’t have been able to recover so well and so quickly.

Jeni has totally transformed my back in just a few sessions.. I had been to local doctors, had a private spine specialist 's session and even was forwarded to the BRI . But it was Jeni who recognised immediately my problem and sorted it out! Also my two grandchildren have had their legs treated. This is an excellent small business. I highly recommend it.
