Claire Dobson, Clinic Director, M.Ost B.Sc (Hons) N.D D.O.

Claire joined the team in 2011 and became a partner at the Wells Road Clinic in 2016. She trained at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in London, graduating with a Distinction in the four-year Master’s degree in Osteopathy.

Before qualifying as an osteopath, Claire completed a BSc (Hons) in Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Bristol. This strong scientific background gives her a deep understanding of human health and informs her thoughtful, evidence-based approach to osteopathic care.

Claire works holistically with her patients, combining classical osteopathy with advice on exercise, nutrition, and naturopathy to support long-term wellbeing and balance.

She lives in the Wiltshire countryside with her husband, two young children, and their Labrador. Since becoming a mother, Claire has developed a special interest in pre- and post-natal care and is currently completing a two-year Women’s Health diploma to further her expertise in this area.

Outside the clinic, Claire is a keen sportswoman with experience in running, rowing, equestrian sports, and cycling. She has competed in events in the UK and abroad with PROPS Cycling Club and, in 2016, qualified to represent Great Britain at the World Championship age-group sprint duathlon in Spain, finishing 6th.

Claire practises at the Wells Road Clinic.
