About the Clinic:

Our client is an independent, founder-led osteopathy clinic based within a family-run gym environment in Ilkley.

The clinic operates with a clear philosophy: treat the person, not just the condition. Appointments are structured to allow time for full assessment, hands‑on treatment, and education — not rushed, high‑volume sessions. The gym setting offers a unique advantage, with strong cross‑referral opportunities and access to a network of coaches and fitness professionals, while the clinic itself remains a calm, professional treatment space.
