Alison originally graduated as a physiotherapist, working at Leeds Teaching Hospital’s Trust. After many years treating neurological patients she moved to The University of Huddersfield as a Senior Physiotherapy Lecturer. During this time, she gained her Master’s Degree in Physiotherapy.

Alison used dry-needling (a western form of acupuncture) in her physio practice and having seen the effects it could have on pain, she decided to study it in more depth. She enrolled on an Honours Degree course at the Northern College of Acupuncture and after the first year knew this was what she wanted to do full time. She left teaching and after graduating with a First Class BSc (Hons) Degree in Acupuncture she set up her practice.

The acupuncture approach Alison uses is suited to treating a wide range of conditions from hayfever, digestive issues to fertility. Alison is a member of the Association of Acupuncture Clinicians, which requires her to maintain and develop her knowledge through Continued Professional Development, ensuring Alison stays up to date with the latest acupuncture developments.

Alison maintains links with the Northern College of Acupuncture where she gets to indulge her love of teaching by being part of the faculty. When not working Alison loves being out in the open, walking or working on the never-ending project that is her garden.

Had been suffering with an issue for a year, and have had a toenail operation at castle clinic, i received first class service and if I had any queries the team was on-hand to answer them. I would highly recommend this place to anyone with a similar issue.

I have been going to Seb now for 3 years consistently. I have a lower back problem that flares up and leaves me incapable but I truly believe our appointments every 6 weeks are keeping it under check. The whole team at castle clinic are so friendly and welcoming and will always do their best to fit you in at last minute! Seb makes you feel so comfortable and will always tell you what’s going on and make sure you’re okay through the whole appointment. I’ll never stop going and recommend castle clinic to everyone that’ll listen 100/10!

Visited the other day for an Indian Head Massage with Sheona. Was a very nice treatment! Sheona did a great job tailoring the experience to my requirements. Most definitely recommended 👍

I saw Sheona recently for a facial reflexology treatment to help with chronic rhinosinusitus which has lingered on for 5 months. The first thing that struck me was how friendly and warm Sheona is. Her calm, caring professionalism stands out. She is very knowledgeable and explains her techniques clearly. It was a wonderful, relaxing and nurturing treatment with beautiful facial oils and background music. The treatment has definitely helped and I feel very optimistic about future treatments. I would highly recommend Sheona and her wonderful holistic treatments. Can't wait to see you again Sheona! Thank you so much!

This was my first experience of osteopathy. When I hurt my back/neck a good friend warmly recommended Seb and Castle Clinic. The recommendation was thoroughly deserved! The holistic approach, care, sensitivity and treatment have been exemplary. An excellent introduction for me to the discipline of osteopathy. In addition to the effective treatment of my back, neck and accompanying arm pain, advice has been consistently reassuring and thoughtful. It is great to feel well on the way to recovery with a near normal arm again! With many grateful thanks, Sarah

I have experienced severe pain with hip bursitis GTP since a car accident 4 years ago. I have tried many therapies including chiropractic, massage, physio, creams and patches that haven’t helped alleviate the pain. I was recommended to Seb at the Castle Clinic who, after a thorough examination and listening to my history, suggested I try shock wave therapy. This has been the best decision as it is really helping to manage the pain in my hips and legs and improve my mobility . As I’ve had the symptoms for so long I have had to have quite a few shock wave sessions but it is definitely worth it coupled with the exercises Seb has given me. Seb is a brilliant, experienced and professional practitioner and all the staff at the clinic are friendly, caring and patient. Thank you.

Seb is my go to therapist; he has helped me in the past twenty years through back problems and in recuperation after a broken arm. Recently I went to Seb with a shoulder injury which resulted in me having very little mobility in my arm and substantial pain. Seb expertly diagnosed the problem and the treatment, which has included Shockwave therapy, has helped restore normal movement. I can’t recommend him highly enough!
