Northallerton Osteopaths Osteopathy & multi-disciplinary healthcare clinic

Jo graduated from the British School of Osteopathy in 1993.
She worked as an associate for one year before establishing her own practice in Northallerton in 1994.

As the practice expanded, she re-located her osteopathic practice to Croft House in 1999 and in doing so introduced other therapies and established Northallertons first multi-disciplinary complementary healthcare clinic. In 2017 Jo and Ross formed a business partnership and moved the practice to Hale House in order to expand the practice further.

In 2003, she enrolled on the Sutherland Cranial College's Pathway for learning, and in 2010, completed the pathway to become a fellow of the college (FSCCO), one of a handful of osteopaths in the North East to hold this qualification. She has a special interest in Paediatric Osteopathy (treatment of babies and children). More recently, she was invited onto the faculty for the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy to develop and deliver their post-graduate Paediatric Osteopathy Diploma. She was awarded the Diploma in 2016

Jo was a senior lecturer at Leeds Beckett University on the Master of Osteopathy degree course for 9 years. Her academic interests include Osteopathic Management and Diagnosis; Critical Evaluation and Reflective Practice. She has lectured at international conferences. She is currently undergoing a four year tenure as an external examiner for the European School of Osteopathy.

Jo also works at our sister clinic Easingwold Osteopaths on Monday afternoons and Friday's.

Diana graduated from the European School of Osteopathy in 1988.
She worked in full time practice in Kent before combining that with tutoring student osteopaths in a busy teaching clinic.
Diana went on to establish her own multidisciplinary practice in Kent working alongside other healthcare professionals as well as in a GP clinic and with the NHS in London.

In 2012 Diana sold her practice in Kent and relocated to Yorkshire to work full time as a Senior Lecturer on the Osteopathy course at Leeds Beckett University, this is where she met Jo and Ross.
Following the decision by the University to close the course, Diana has moved back into full time practice and now practices from Northallerton Osteopaths and York Natural Health.

Her experience centres on helping adults and older adults with low-back, neck and mid-back aches and pains, also any pains in their muscles and joints in any part of the body. She is particularly interested in problems associated with working and ageing, but she also has experience in treating the discomforts of pregnancy.
She combines traditional hands-on osteopathy with more recent evidence informed exercise, rehabilitation and lifestyle advice. Diana is very happy to have a free informal chat on the telephone with you if you are unsure whether osteopathy might help you. Just ask at reception or call us and we can organise a suitable time.

Diana has a Diploma in Osteopathy (1988, European School of Osteopathy), an MSc in Research Methods (Kings College London, 1995), and a teaching qualification PGCAP (2014, Leeds Beckett University). Diana is taking a Counselling Course at York College this academic year (2019/20)

Helen is a fully qualified Level 3 Pilates Teacher, having trained in London & Edinburgh with the Body Control Pilates Association, a world leading training organisation. She first became interested 15 years ago after receiving a number of Physiotherapy appointments to deal with a bulging disc in her spine. She attended Pilates classes, but always stopped once she felt better. Sooner or later she became sore again would return a few months later. She finally made the link and realised that Pilates was what was making her better, and was fascinated at how the exercises were able to strengthen her body without her breaking a sweat. The controlled coordination and precision of the movements really helped to provide focus for her and over time Helen decided to change careers and become a Pilates teacher, where she could share the knowledge with clients, and help them feel well through movement.

Helen qualified in 2017 and has never looked back. She really enjoys working with clients, and building up their own understanding of their bodies, increasing their confidence and mental wellbeing through movement exercises. The link with the mind and body is particularly interesting, and how positive mental imagery can play a role in the healing process.

Helen continues her training and is a Founding Member of the Body Control Pilates Association. She is also qualified to Level 3 Pre & Post Natal Pilates, Pilates For Golfers, Intermediate mat, Reformer and Reformer For Equestrians. She is also qualified in HIP Pilates (High Intensity Power Pilates) Mat work and Reformer, which is a training method designed to add a cardio element while staying true to the principles of Pilates. In addition to this, Helen recently qualified as Franklin Method Low Back Fascia Trainer and can incorporate this work into sessions as the work ties in well with Pilates.
