Francesca is fantastic
"Francesca is fantastic. She treated my AC shoulder joint injury with a gentle approach and a personalised plan. Always gave me simple /practical exercises for me to do between sessions that sped up my recovery. I felt listened to and supported the whole way. Strongly recommend City Osteopaths and Francesca!
She also recommended me Nikki who is amazing at massage - highly recommend her too!
It's Been Life-Changing
"Tory Piperno is 10/10. Haven't moved this well in years''
Wonderfully Supportive and Knowledgeable
"I saw Suryagita Cox for a number of Alexander Technique sessions. She is a wonderfully supportive and knowledgeable practitioner. The body work sessions provided a release from tension in my body and I gained improvements in my posture, a reduction in pain and a greater overall awareness of my body and its movements. I can highly recommend her."
Wonderful Service
"Wonderful service, Andre is a star! Results were already visible and felt by the time I walked out the door on the first visit. It was great to get some nutritional advice too, regarding inflammation."
Highly Recommend City Osteopaths
"I have been a patient of City Osteopaths for some years now (for various treatment types) but more recently have been seeing Emma Winn for the duration of my pregnancy and she has been exceptional. She operates under such a calm demeanor, and I definitely don't think my pregnancy would have gone as smoothly as it has to date if I wasn't having regular treatments by Emma. The pains and niggles have been kept at bay and Emma is always happy to offer advice and tips on how to manage things. I will definitely continue my treatments with Emma postnatally and will also bring my baby in for treatments if needed. Highly recommend City Osteopaths for any type of treatment! :)."
We Are So Grateful!
"My daughter has been seeing Sarah the Homeopath for her tricky medical conditions. The treatment from Sarah has been a massive contrast to the medical system - she has listened to concerns, set a feasible treatment plan, explained rationale clearly and has been invaluable in our journey negotiating "the system". My daughter has turned a corner and is improving daily. We are so grateful for Sarah's input, and highly recommend seeing her. I wish I could give her more stars!"
Brain Fog Has Been Reduced
Whilst plodding on from a TBI over 20 years ago I came across Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment. I am delighted with my results over the past few years. I feel like brain fog has been reduced and my immune system has vastly improved. I only wish I had discovered it sooner. I highly recommend it for anyone who may be struggling. The care and follow-up provided by Ralf and Melanie is outstanding.
My mobility and comfort have improved past where I was at pre-injury
"I had an excellent experience working with Osteopath Francesca during my recovery from a neck injury. From the very first session, she made me feel heard and supported, taking the time to understand not just the pain itself but how it was affecting my daily life. Her treatment was gentle yet incredibly effective, and I noticed real improvement after each visit.
Francesca combines expertise with a warm, reassuring presence that made every appointment something I looked forward to. She explained everything clearly, offered practical advice I could use at home/work, and always checked in to make sure I was progressing comfortably.
Thanks to her care, my mobility and comfort have improved past where I was at pre-injury. I’m truly grateful for her skill and compassion and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of an exceptional osteopath."
Nikki has such a calming presence and was truely magical!
"I had an amazing massage with Nikki, and I honestly can’t recommend her enough. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel completely comfortable and took the time to listen to what areas were bothering me. She found all the knots and tension I didn’t even realise I had, especially in my shoulders and arms. By the end, I felt like a whole new person. That night, I slept better than I have in months, and I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and pain-free. Nikki has such a calming presence and was truely magical!"
Osteopath Andre is masterful
"Have just heard that my fantastic Wairarapa osteopath, Andre Kulesza, has now joined the team at City Osteopaths in Wellington. I would highly recommend you book a session with him, he is masterful. Not only a highly skilled practitioner, but also knowledgeable about wound care, knows about exercises to help with recovery, and has a lot of general health knowledge that he is very generous in sharing with you. As a high sensitive, I know who is good, and this guy is good! He has been invaluable in my husband's recovery from a fractured ankle. He trained in England and he brings astute skills from that training. Also great to have a conversation with!"
Can Highly Recommend
"I’ve seen Sebastian for sinus infections and I am so pleased with the results. After 2 years of chronic infection and lots of antibiotics, I have been well for the longest period in a long time. Can highly recommend."
I wish I'd seen an osteopath sooner!
"I wish I’d seen an osteopath sooner! Venla understood the problems immediately and her treatment has transformed my concussion and neck recovery. She is so knowledgeable and compassionate. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!"
An essential part of my wellness kit
"I have enjoyed regular Alexander Technique sessions with Suryagita Cox at City Osteopaths, which greatly improve my body posture, breathing techniques and overall sense of calm and wellbeing. I've found them an essential part of my wellness kit. I particularly benefit from the voice training that Suryagita offers as part of her sessions, which has simplified and strengthened my breathing, speaking and singing. Highly recommended."
Knowledge is Second-to-None
"Melanie has been instrumental in my recovery from major back surgery. Her treatments were gentle and effective in treating the pain and teaching my body to heal after the surgery. Her knowledge is second-to-none, and her holistic approach was great in working to calm my central nervous system and get me on the road to recovery. I walk out of every treatment with new tools to live my best life!"
Very Professional and highly skilled
"After receiving treatment on the first appointment from Sebastian I definitely noticed more improvement than I had before from other types of bodywork. He has a real gift and I would recommend him. City Osteopaths is a very professional and highly skilled environment."
Understanding, Kind and Very Professional!
"I went and saw Kimberly Taylor with MANY issues. She was understanding, kind and very professional! I left having a better understanding on what is going on with my body and a plan going forward. After seeing GP's over the years and getting little to no help (while watching them google my symptoms...) Kimberly knew what was wrong and how to help. Highly recommend!"
