Christopher is fantastic. Super easy to book, great location and best osteopath I’ve been to. To find the entrance walk down into the courtyard, past the noodle bar and aim for the glass door on the right signed ‘The Courtyard’

Very glad I have found Chris - he combines expertise with a great personality. I came in with postural imbalances, tense shoulders, and lower back discomfort, and from the very first session, I knew I was in expert hands. Chris quickly identified several causes of my issues and took a whole-body approach to treatment. In just a few treatments, I felt a remarkable difference! Thank you
