Wakefield Osteopaths

About

Wakefield Osteopaths has been a pillar of holistic health and wellness in the Wakefield community since 1979. Founded by the esteemed Mark Wilcox, the practice originally operated under the name Mark Wilcox & Associates. In 2001, it was renamed Wakefield Osteopaths Ltd to reflect its evolving scope and commitment to quality care. Mark devoted over 40 years to building a trusted and respected practice, leaving a legacy of excellence in osteopathic treatment.

In 2019, Matthew Derbyshire, a trusted Associate Osteopath, took over the leadership of the practice. Under Matt’s guidance, Wakefield Osteopaths has continued to thrive, maintaining the high standards Mark established. Although Mark retired in 2020 earlier than planned due to the Covid-19 pandemic, his influence remains a central part of the clinic’s ethos.

Today, Wakefield Osteopaths employs a team of eight highly qualified osteopaths. Each team member specialises in a wide range of osteopathic techniques, enabling us to provide comprehensive, personalised care tailored to meet the diverse needs of our patients.
