Leeds Complementary Osteopaths

General information

These are just some of the reviews we have had:

" Since consulting Stephen my back and shoulder have improved more than I dared to hope. He always gives a considered, thorough and informed consultation. I have no hesitation in recommending him for anything for which osteopathy might have the answer. I think he has magic fingers! " - Mrs.G.Ireland

" Having been a sufferer of a potentially debilitating lower back problem I visited chiropractors and physios without any lasting improvement to my mobility. After the first session with Steve he diagnosed the problem pretty quickly, and took a different approach to treating my spine and hamstrings, my back is now on the mend. " - Mr.A.Brauders

" I have been delighted with Stephen's treatments which I have been the recipient of over the last few months. He is punctual, polite, professional, patient, reliable, understanding, conscientious, thorough and very considerate in his approach. He is a true "Professional". To pay him the ultimate compliment which I consider I could attribute to him, he is "A Class Act". I have no reservations at all in recommending him to any person considering treatments which he could provide, you will not be disappointed. " - Mr.T.Barton

" Over the years, I have been treated by a variety of doctors, without any lasting improvement. Stephen impressed me from my first appointment. He was able to diagnose my back problem and explain it to me clearly. I have so much confidence in his skill and knowledge that I am travelling from abroad to enable me to benefit from a series of appointments with him. " - Mrs.J.Dobson

" I was in a lot of pain when I went to see Stephen. I was very impressed with his skill and professionalism and I would recommend him to anyone needing help with back pain. " - Mrs.K.Chicot

I was extremely pleased with my treatment and still find it hard to believe I am pain free after only 2 sessions as I am normally skeptical about using this type of therapy as I have received physiotherapy in the past for back pain which unfortunately didn’t help.
My friend (who is a Doctor) recommended that I see an osteopath and it was due to her advice that I made an appointment and to be honest this was also my last resort but I was in so much pain that I would have tried anything.
My heart sank when I telephoned and was told the only appointment left for that week was with a man but if I preferred a woman, I could get in for the following week. I decided to take the appointment with Michael because I was desperate for some pain relief and if this was going to work, I didn’t want to delay the treatment.
I needn’t have worried, I was told to bring some leggings and was given a gown so I was fully covered and ready to receive treatment. I explained my symptoms to Michael and he was able to work on back and advise me of what was causing my extreme discomfort. I can’t say that I left feeling better and actually even felt worse but the following day I started to feel a little better but still was in a lot of pain. I attended my second session the following week and 4 days after this I woke up pain free for the first time in 5 months. This has made an immense difference to my quality of life as I can now resume my day-to- day activities for the first time in what seems like a very long time. My only regret is not going sooner and wish my own Doctor had recommended this treatment as this would have resulted in a much quicker recovery time for me, less appointments with the Doctor and no prescription drugs.
I would highly recommend Michael and would not hesitate to go back to him again should I ever have any further issues with back pain.

The tyranny of midlife resulted in my failure to attend to the creaks and groans of my newly-retired body. Then I heard about Nicola Sell and decided to take the high recommendation and prioritize my body’s needs. Jane Aldrick

Gradually she’s un-knotted my long-term tightness, straightened my pelvis and restored balance that I never knew I’d lost. Nicola’s professionalism and (what I smilingly call) her “magic fingers” have given me a new lease of life. Can’t thank you enough Nicola.”

When I’m ship-wrecked on a desert island I shall insist on taking Nicky with me as my luxury item.

For the last 15 years she has provided me (and my family) with both routine maintenance and emergency repairs of sports and age-related issues – always positive, knowledgeable, well-informed and thoughtful – a real confidence-booster. She’s pragmatic and cheerful and, importantly, well aware of the holistic interaction between mind and body.

Perhaps she’s not a life-saver in the strictest sense of the word – but it has often felt like it.

I have been seeing Nicola Sell as my osteopath since 1992. Initially she helped me with an acute and very painful lumbar disc injury. The physical and emotional support she gave was vital and I recovered well without surgical intervention. I have since seen her on a regular basis for gentle treatment to make sure my back stays strong because I use a computer frequently. I have always found Nicola an excellent osteopath; very informative, constructive and supportive. I recommend her very highly.
Hayley Cliff
After her treatment I put her down in her carrycot and I don’t think she even cried, she just went to sleep and stayed asleep! and I’ve been able to have the most lovely shower and eat my tea in peace :)

Thank you so so much.
