About Us

The Ilkley Osteopathic Practice

The Ilkley Osteopathic Practice was established in 2001.  The practice partners are Amos Grech-Cini, Robbie Grech-Cini and Louise Judd.  Their focus was to create a centre for professional excellence and superior care where patients come first and foremost.

This philosophy has helped the practice grow from strength to strength, becoming an integral part of the Wharfedale Community. It’s here that we solidified our reputation, developed over many years, for providing the highest quality of Osteopathic care.

Scott White became part of the team in August 2019.

At our dedicated healthcare practice, we treat a comprehensive range of musculoskeletal conditions including spinal complaints, headaches, arthritic conditions and sporting injuries with a focus on detecting, diagnosing and treating the cause of symptoms.

We take pride in our contribution to the healthcare of the Wharfe Valley, treating a wide range of people from a few weeks old to patients into their nineties.

The Ilkley Osteopathic Practice is a modern healthcare clinic with expert healthcare professionals.

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.

Partner

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.

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 20 years now, Louise has developed an interest in pre and postnatal care. 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.

Testimonials

Some kind words from our patients

I have been coming to the Ilkley Osteopathic Practice for 2 years now, and every time I come, I am met with the kind and welcoming staff and a very warm and friendly atmosphere.

All the Osteopaths are very kind, professional and courteous. I can't recommend this place more!

Gemma Mitchell

I have been a patient of Amos for many years. He has treated various stiff areas giving me much relief and freedom of movement, especially for my neck.

Without this treatment, I would not be able to still be driving. A wonderful service, so helpful to an 88 year-old!

Peter Cussons

I have been treated by both Amos and Robbie, and I cannot speak highly enough of their competence and professionalism!

Dorothy Hartley

Amazing, what a difference to the way I feel after marathon training, Could not have done my 1st London Marathon without Robbie.

Liz Tenant

Following a fall, Louise's gentle and accurate manipulation rescued me from terrible acute (on chronic) pain of several months standing and I am immensely grateful to her as life was looking pretty bleak during that time.
