We are a full service holistic clinic founded in 2013 with a focus on osteopathy, therapeutic massage and mental wellbeing.
OsteoWellbeing was founded by Süheyla Douce, who suffered with back and neck pain as a child but felt as though her problem wasn’t diagnosed correctly because of her age. She wanted to change that, and treat patients of all ages with a completely open mind.
At OsteoWellbeing, we are different from other healthcare professionals as we like to think about our patients’ lifestyles as a whole. We look at the bigger picture – we don’t just focus on the time our patients are at the clinic. We offer lifestyle advice to ensure every individual can live their life to the full.

Süheyla Douce (M.Ost)
Osteopath
“I run OsteoWellbeing, ensuring patients are booked in at a time that suits them, explaining what we do and why we do it, and giving detailed diagnoses. I can then treat individuals in the way that suits them, helping them on the road to recovery.
I’ve been fully qualified as an osteopath since 2013 and I have an integrated master’s degree in osteopathy. The last two years of my four-year medical degree were spent working with patients under the care of my tutors, who were all qualified osteopaths. I now put my experience and skills to good use treating patients of all ages, from new-borns to the elderly. I am particularly passionate about correcting posture and I love working with babies – there’s nothing more rewarding than helping families.
I love what I do and I look forward to meeting new people every day, as well as seeing the familiar faces of patients who’ve been with the clinic for many years. Helping people out of their pain is what I do best; I make sure my patients can live their best lives.”

She likes treating all kinds of people. Her clients range from young teenagers to housewives, personal trainers or pensioners.

We look at patients’ lifestyles. We aim to improve general wellbeing to prevent further issues being caused, or current issues coming back.
We are always available for our patients in any way they need. We are just at the other end of the phone to give free advice or write GP referral letters.
We offer additional therapies, including massage and skin care services. People can visit OsteoWellbeing for a variety of services at a clinic they already know, making them feel more comfortable. This also helps with timekeeping, as a variety of therapies are available under one roof.
