Before leaving the Halifax area I saw Julie Sainsbury as my osteopath. I had ongoing health problems from various surgeries and illnesses and when all else failed I gave osteopathy a try. I couldn’t have been happier with the results and how much Julie knew about what my body needed. I have since told several people about this type of treatment and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Not only did my back problems settle but Julie was able to help with painful scar tissue as well. She really took the time to get to know what I needed.

Julie Sainsbury has been treating me on a regular basis for about 3 years. I have suffered with chronic migraines since I was a child. I had a migraine every day for 6 weeks straight before I started seeing Julie. Relief was immediate when she started treatment. She has allowed me to function like a regular human again. Osteopathic treatment has been superior to all other types of treatment that I have tried. Two of my family members also see her and we always joke that she is "our Julie" because she feels like part of the family. She is kind, smart, and incredibly good at what she does. I would

I have seen Julie for two years and she's always been great. I refer other people to her whenever I hear that they are suffering with pain. Julie is able to assess the problem and find the right treatment. The room is always cleaned and Julie is always well-groomed and presents a professional appearance. I highly recommend Julie to anyone who is suffering with pain. She truly cares about her patients.

This place is the perfect one stop shop for physical treatments. All the practitioners are very knowledgeable in their fields and have wonderful bedside manners. The staff are all very warm and friendly, as Jocelyn is very particular about who she hires. I often refer people to this clinic. I highly recommend booking in!

My go to place for osteopathy and acupuncture. I originally went here for help with sciatica when pregnant and post natal care with Jocelyn. She is fantastic, makes you feel comfortable and after three sessions I had great results. Matthew is the acupuncturist and has 10 years training from the only acupuncture school (in he UK), acupuncture helped with pain and you would feel great for three days after from whatever was released. No idea how it works but it did. Years later, I injured my shoulder. After six weeks of physiotherapy, I went to see Angela (Jocelyn gets booked up quickly) and she was

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident in January 2014. I attended physio and massage once a week since that accident with moderate success. It was then I was referred to this clinic. I began seeing Julie after seeing a different therapist, but my body did not respind well to her particular treatment and I experienced extreme pain, but this can happen with any therapist/treatment techniques.
I was encouraged to see another therapist which was when I met Julie.
Despite my extreme nervousness to return and cancelling several appointments before finally seeing Julie she was incredibly understanding

I am so glad I found Halifax Osteo. I've been seeing Julie Sainsbury a few times a year for about five years now and her treatments have been the most helpful and long lasting of anything I've tried for ongoing muscle issues.
She is always warm, gentle and caring, sensitive to the effects her treatments have on her patients.
Her assessments are thorough and professional whenever a new issue arises.
The clinic is clean and comfortable with good attention to detail and flexibility around booking and cancellations.
Highly recommend.

I started seeing Julie Sainsbury after sustaining a major neck injury and concussion from a swimming accident. A neurologist told me I could have flareups for a long time - soft tissue injuries can be tricky. I do not have adequate words to thank her for her treatment. I started out at twice a week for at least the first six months. I still see her regularly to keep things under control and she keeps me functioning as a human. When I first saw her my face, and arms, and hands had numbness and tingling from pinched nerves. I had extreme headaches to the point I couldn't drive or concentrate to even

Julie Sainsbury was recommended to me for pain in my neck, shoulders, and back after a motor vehicle accident. She is a very skilled osteopath and also a genuinely caring person. Julie has helped me with improving my neck mobility, decreasing my pain, and improving my sleep. I feel fortunate to have found Julie after receiving unsuccessful treatments with physiotherapy, massage therapy and acupuncture at various other clinics. I have recommended family and friends to see her. Anyone who has pain would benefit from an osteopathy treatment with Julie.
