About Louise
I believe that keeping the body working well can help improve physical, mental and general health. My aim is to ease tissues towards better function via a variety of treatment techniques ranging from stronger mechanical, rhythmical, inhibition work to more gentle cranial, visceral, functional approaches.
Which options we select depends on what your body needs and responds to best. Some patients may need to undress, some remain clothed. Some like silence, others like to chat. Each individual patient experiences a tailored approach to match their unique requirements.
I have 3 lively, affectionate children to keep me busy in my colourful, messy home but in any quiet moments my preference is to read, practice yoga and do some crafting. I like to keep things simple. I don’t write about myself in the third person. And my favourite colour is blue.

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. 💯
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!!
john whitehead2024-04-05Great clinic. Quick appointments. My treatment from osteopath Ioannis is excellent. Don't think I'll need to go back, but have made an appointment just in case. Highly recommended
