City Osteopaths - Wellington Specialists

Professional & Thorough Whilst Being Friendly & Empathetic

"I've been seeing Giulia with several complaints, & I highly, highly recommend her for the results I'm seeing & the treatment she provides! She's professional & thorough whilst being friendly & empathetic. She's highly knowledgeable, & makes you feel safe & cared for during treatments, explaining everything thoroughly. She also provides helpful, clear exercises, & excellent follow-up to ensure you see improvements. Thanks, Giulia"

Professional & Thorough Whilst Being Friendly & Empathetic

It's Been Life-Changing

"I started seeing Melanie for acute vertigo some years ago. After a few treatments, I noticed a dramatic improvement and now experience no issues at all; it's been life-changing; no more days in bed, too scared to move. She has also worked magic on my back, no more pain!"

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."

By Far the Best Osteopath I've Had

"I have been attending City Osteopaths and seeing Osteopath Giulia for about a year. I cannot state enough how excellent my treatment has been and how well I feel. I've used osteopathy for over 20 years, and Giulia is by far the best Osteopath I've had, and my body is very grateful! Giulia is very caring, knowledgeable, and excellent at what she does. In addition, the front desk/office team is incredibly helpful, kind, and cheerful. Highly, highly recommend City Osteopaths."

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.

Today I am Pain Free and it’s All Thanks to the Treatment

"I received treatment from David and as someone who had not heard of an Osteopath before or have any knowledge of what they do, I didn’t know what to expect. Today I am pain free and it’s all thanks to the treatment, professionalism, support and care I received from David and City Osteopaths. I highly recommend this healthcare provider, especially to our Pasefika people who wouldn’t usually frequent or utilise such services. Fa’afetai tele lava!"

Been Giving Me Great Advice

"My second time seeing Nikki Spears. Recommend seeing her if you need a great massage. My job is pushing a lawnmower around all day, so my legs feel it. Nikki has been giving me great advice on what I should be doing to get my legs back on track."

Transformative Relief

"I highly recommend booking an appointment with Ben Morgenstern for remedial massage work. I work in IT and have accrued a number of issues over my career. My primary struggles have been with neck, back, and chest tightness/imbalance. He took the time to understand my issues and tailored each session to address my specific needs. The relief I've experienced has been nothing short of transformative. Ben is technically skilled, and we have made progress with each and every session. If you're in need of a talented massage therapist, Ben is the one to see."

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."

Exceptional Practitioners

"Led by Melanie Young, City Osteopaths is a clinic with exceptional practitioners, across all fields. For the last 20 years, I have been having osteopathic treatment and consider it an essential part of my well-being. I always leave feeling the benefits and know that many of injuries I have sustained heal much quicker with treatment. I definitely recommend the clinic!"

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!"
