Why Choose Us

Amos graduated in 1995 from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in London. He then returned home to Yorkshire and established the Ilkley Osteopathic Practice with his wife, Robbie in 2001. With over 30 years of experience Amos gives lectures in technique to colleagues and students and has set up a mentoring program.

Amos treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions across all age groups and his passion for osteopathy is evident. He is an excellent diagnostician and likes to get to the root of the problem. He also practises Medical Acupuncture within his osteopathic treatment. He is a keen cyclist.

Robbie (Roberta) came to the UK from Zimbabwe to study Osteopathy at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine. She set up the Ilkley Osteopathic Practice with her husband Amos in 2001.

She chose Osteopathy as a career because she had been exposed to it from a young age, and had successful treatment for a sporting injury. Robbie has now been in practice for over 25 years and enjoys her job everyday. She loves sharing all that osteopathy can offer her patients – helping them to feel healthy, flexible and reducing their pain.

Robbie enjoys treating all different complaints across the age groups. She also practises Medical Acupuncture within her osteopathic treatment. . She has completed a post graduate course in Cranial Osteopathy. Over the last 15 years she has attended several courses at the London School of Osteopathy for the treatment of babies, toddlers, and the postpartum mother. She treats lots of babies who are experiencing feeding difficulties and have had a tongue tie division, or have experienced a long and difficult labour or very fast.

Louise grew up in Hong-Kong and Greece, and came to England in 1995 to study Osteopathy for four years at the British School of Osteopathy.

Graduating in 1999 she moved to West Yorkshire, during which time she gained valuable experience treating a wide cross section of patients in two busy, multi disciplinary practices. In 2004, after a period of travelling, she joined Robbie and Amos as a partner at The Ilkley Osteopathic Practice.

Louise’s own interest in sport led her to look further into a career in Osteopathy, which would encompass working with the human body, but with a holistic and preventative treatment approach, thus enabling the patient to take control of their own body and therefore maintain good health.

Having been in practice over 25 years now, Louise has developed an interest in pre and postnatal care in particular women’s pelvic health.  This has in time, naturally led her to embark on extensive studies in women’s health and she will shortly be including a Women’s Health Coaching Programme to the practice. In particular addressing and supporting women through the complex issues of peri menopause and menopause, helping support and advise women to restore balance and well being in their lives.

Louise also practices scar tissue therapy as well as Medical Acupuncture within her Osteopathic treatments, and the Women’s Health Reset Programme.

Experienced Osteopath & Biomechanical Specialist
A knowledgeable and effective Osteopath with over 20 years of experience, providing tailored care for patients of all ages — from newborns to the elderly and supporting pre- and post-natal wellbeing. Niki’s clinical approach focuses on biomechanics, posture, rehabilitation.  Niki is also very experienced in treating babies that have feeding difficulties or retained tension from the birth process.

I’m also passionate about animal osteopathy.
With over 30 years in the equine industry and 18 years in clinical practice, I’ve extended my osteopathic approach to support horses and dogs alongside their human counterparts. Subtle postural changes in animals can lead to compensations, stiffness, lameness, or behavioural changes—often the only way they can communicate discomfort. Drawing on my deep knowledge of biomechanics, conformation and performance, I use osteopathy to restore mobility, reduce pain and support recovery. Whether it’s a horse with a shortened stride or a dog struggling post-injury, I aim to help animals move more freely and comfortably at every stage of life.
