About Woods Wellness Centre

Woods Wellness Centre is the Scottish Borders’ first fully holistic centre offering a comprehensive range of services to help you reach optimum health. Founded by physiotherapist Dr. Chad Woods, the Peebles-based clinic has now expanded to incorporate a range of independent professionals as well as cutting edge treatments not available anywhere else in Scotland.

Originally from the USA, Chad’s career started working as a biologist for the prestigious National Institutes of Health in Washington, DC. It was during this time that he realised he wanted a more direct link to patient care, and he studied for his Doctorate in Physical Therapy in West Virginia. Chad knew he’d found his calling and went on to work across multiple fields, including rehabilitation, orthopedics, pediatric care, and professional sports. The uniting theme across all of these roles was Chad’s innovative techniques and deep compassion for the patients under his care.

When Chad, along with his wife Lauren and their four children, embarked on a new adventure and relocated to Scotland, he saw a gap in patient care he knew he could fill. Together Chad and Lauren, herself a registered nurse with an extensive background in women’s and children’s health, created the long-imagined dream of a fully integrated health clinic. Working with a range of independent practitioners, the Woods Wellness Centre offers patients a comprehensive and person-led approach to take care of all aspects of their physical, emotional and mental well-being under one roof.
