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.

In his spare time, Doug likes to relax with his family, cycle, walk the dog, and play the guitar.
What our patients say
James Fletcher2024-04-12I started seeing Josh last year in preparation of my first marathon. I'm a big believer that prevention is better than the cure and I felt I was carrying a few minor ailments. I see him every 6-8 weeks and discuss my current training and niggles which he works on resolving and suggests different exercises and stretches to improve moving forward. Following the sessions I feel more flexible and balanced and I'm training for my second marathon. I'd highly recommend the Good Health Centre and Josh. He's a great osteopath and person!
Chris Dietz2024-04-11Josh is an excellent osteopath (with physiotherapy experience). He is a keen runner and so has great insight into running injuries. When I first went to see him I had been misdiagnosed twice and was feeling quite helpless. In our first session he diagnosed me with an adductor tendinopathy and gave me a rehab plan that developed through our sessions. After a handful of appointments I am back running and will definitely be back for checkups to avoid future injuries. I would recommend Josh to anyone with a running injury. đŸ’¯
Jessica2024-04-10Currently seeing osteopath here who is lovely and very soothing touch with my sciatica. I've been popping so many painkillers as the pain in my leg has been so extreme. I'm hoping she can cure my bad sciatica altogether... Well worth the price not to mess your stomach up from all those painkillers!!
