About Douglas

After working in London for a year, Doug decided to move to Yorkshire in 1999 for a better quality of life, and he started to work with Amittai Sevi at the Good Health Centre in Leeds. Since that time Doug has helped develop the practice and has enjoyed working with a wide variety of patients.

Doug has worked with musicians and singers and administrative staff from Opera North. He has treated dancers from dance companies based in Leeds such as Phoenix Dance and RJC, in addition to independent professional dancers and students from the Northern School of Contemporary Dance.

Over the course of 19 years at the Good Health Centre, Doug has worked with patients of all ages, from babies to the not-so-young, specialising in musculoskeletal pain and postural problems, employing structural and cranial osteopathic techniques, dry needling and appropriate exercise prescription to facilitate recovery from injury and optimise the health of his patients.

Doug is fully registered with the General Osteopathic Council, and as such is committed to undertaking Continuing Professional Development courses to further his knowledge and skills. Doug is a member of the Institute of Osteopathy and he is a specialist provider for most health insurers.

In his spare time, Doug likes to relax with his family, cycle, walk the dog, and play the guitar.

I have seen Aisha for a Mummy MOT and subsequent treatment over a period of months. She has a holistic approach and I have found her support amazing. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

I have seen Anthony a couple of times now and I am beyond happy. I have been suffering a year of pain, I have previously seen other osteopaths and doctors and I have had numerous trips to A and E. Anthony is highly experienced in his profession, he cares about you as a patient, really understands your issues and concerns and is genuinely there to help you get better. I wish I had known about Anthony sooner and not wasted my time with other establishments. After 2 sessions I am on a slow road to recovery and I can’t wait to go again. For me, Anthony is going to be able to give me my life back this year.

I had a fantastic first appointment with Aisha for a Mummy MOT - I would highly recommend this to anyone who has had a baby no matter how recent or how long ago. She was incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel really well listened to. The building and location was great, easy parking and friendly receptionists.

I keep coming to Daniel and he keeps fixing me. I am an older runner and have had a few injuries in recent years. I started to see Daniel when I could not get an urgent physiotherapist's appointment. His gentle manipulation and exercises cured an annoying and persistent hamstring injury which had been going on for many months, and a sore hip. Since then he has treated, most effectively, my runner's knee and other complaints. I enjoy our sessions as he takes a real interest in his patients. Daniel will always be my no. 1 therapist!
