Reviews of Achilles Healers Sports Therapy

X. I.

Richard was very quick to respond, which was a good thing because he responded as soon as I booked it. Richard is an expert in his field. He answered all of my questions and explained everything I needed to know. He was very patient and made sure I understood everything. In his presence, he made me feel at ease. I felt much better after the therapy session and would recommend Richard to anyone suffering from bone or muscle pain. Richard is the best therapist I have ever met. He is so dedicated to making a difference in people's lives because he works so hard at what he does. Unlike other therapists, who are only interested in making money, Richard is concerned with making you feel better and making a difference. I am looking forward to receiving another treatment for my myofascial pain syndrome.

I. A.

Amazing service, very professional and safe. Keeping up with all the Covid regulations. Before starting the treatment we had full consultation and made sure I went in with the correct treatment. I highly recommend Achilles Healers Sport Therapy clinic. I feel 1000 times better, the back pain has gone and my posture has been corrected. Will be going back every other month to keep up with the hard work.

P. T.

I cannot praise Richard enough, experienced, professional and excellent service; delivering instant relief after first visit. Richard has sent me various exercises throughout my treatment which support my visits and my recovery. I felt safe and reassured.

S. M.

Beyond impressed with the way each problem is analysed and how personalised the exercise program and everything else is. Richard allocated sufficient time explaining the underlying cause of the problem so I was educated and fully made aware of my condition and any adjustments needed to enhance my quality of life; it’s very empowering. Richard is very professional, effective, a good communicator and very personable! Will be going back despite the long distance for sure as therapists like this are rare to come by!

i. w.

Excellent and very professional service. I booked an appointment with Richard due to a painful injury to the lower right back. Richard quickly identified the cause of injury and provided various treatment (ie acupuncture, heat treatment, massage, stretches), which achieved immediate results and accelerated the recovery process. Would definitely recommend Achilles Healers Sports Therapy. Thanks Richard

K. H.

I saw Richard because of a very painful tennis elbow. Richard gave me a very thorough treatment, massage etc and showed me exercises to do at home. It has really helped alleviate the pain and I will continue with the exercises. I would definitely recommend Richard to anyone.

I saw Richard recently with severe stiff back and sciatica pain, after just two sessions I started feeling much much better, I am walking better and having more restful nights. He used a combination of acupuncture and massage which I found very helpful and relaxing. It is also reassuring as Richard follows the Covid guidelines. I always receive an hour of excellent service, I can't recommend him enough.

I. P.

I had injuries to the MCL and LCL and Richard helped get my stiffened and buckled knee looser meaning I get much less pains in it and can work on different exercises to help strengthen it and get it back to normally. Would recommend especially for people who compete in sports

S. G.

Been having problems with my shoulder (no golf for me 😢). Went to see Richard - he put me at my ease and did a really thorough job on treating the shoulder. It did feel appreciably better afterwards and I have been able to hit some balls 🏌️‍♂️. Would definitely recommend his services...😃

In just one meeting with Richard my lower back pain immediately relief . Richard very professional he listened to my pain issues and gave me acupuncture and sports massage. The place very clean met the covid 19 safety guideline. Highly recommended. Thanks Richard.

L. a. R.

I saw Richard recently with a very stiff and sore neck. Following a session with him which included both massage and acupuncture I have felt significantly better, with less headaches too! Richard also gave me some stretches and exercises to do. I was made to feel comfortable during my appointment, and it was reassuring that Richard is clearly working to very high Covid guidelines. Would recommend and would visit again.

J. B.

Richard was recommended to me after I injured my ankle caused by a fall.He is very professional & uses a range of treatments and recommends various exercises to do at home.The covid precautions make me feel very safe.Such a nice guy who listens & is very knowledgeable.I would not hesitate to recommend him.

C. L.

I visited Richard after persistent shin pain caused from regular running. I was limping and had temporarily stopped running as I was in so much pain and discomfort. Prior to my appointment Richard was extremely organised , efficient and prompt with all communication. He was professional and friendly throughout and I felt completely safe and comfortable with his covid measures. After visiting him my leg is fully better and I am back on the road 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ again. I would definitely return if needed and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

D. P.

Excellent service highly recommend. I visited Richard recently for help with a painful shoulder, he quickly went to task with isolating the issue, applying effective massage and acupuncture too, the combined effect has meant I am now pain free after suffering for several months. Would not hesitate to recommend and use again.

N. J.

Would definitely recommend! Went for treatment following liposuction. Richard was very professional and provided me with all the information I needed and more ☺️

M. R.

I was diagnosed with a "frozen shoulder" and after treatment was advised to have physio. I've since had 2 sessions and can certainly feel the benefit. Richard is extremely professional and knowledgeable and explains everything throughout each session, I would highly recommend him.

P. G.

Very professional. Sorted my back & shoulder in one session with a combination of massage & acupuncture. Also gave me some exercises to hopefully stop future problems

H. A.

I felt like I was in safe hands with Richard. My pain was definitely reduced after my visit and the stretches he provided have helped too(when I’ve remembered to do them)!

K. M.

Been going to Richard over the last six months and would highly recommend. Had golfers elbow issues and Richard’s assessment and treatment has helped loads, also been having sports massages to remain injury free for marathon training. Easy to book an appointment through the calendar links. A professional service with a good follow up to see how injury/ after treatment are progressing. A lot of measures in place to help people be more relaxed getting treatment during Covid. 5Stars

J. W.

Been to many physios in the area and Richard is the only one who has really made a difference with my tennis elbow and shoulder problem.

C. J. H.

Richard was recommended to me by my brother. I went to him because I needed help with back pain and tight muscles caused by scoliosis. Richard was very welcoming on arrival and we discussed my issues. He provided a relaxing massage while also working the muscle knots and tight spots. Nearer the end of the session he used acupuncture needles to help target some of the deeper knots in my problem area. I was a little apprehensive at the thought of being a pin cushion however, the day after the treatment I felt much looser. After the session Richard sent me some stretches and exercises to help strengthen specific muscles and loosen the tight spots. Overall I was very impressed with Richard’s knowledge and professionalism, the massage was also miles better than what my partner does!

K. H.

Richard is absolutely amazing. Took my Mum as is agony with sciatica, she was close to tears it was so painful. Richard was really professional, explaining everything he was doing and why. He was so thorough. He used acupuncture on her, reassuring and caring throughout the process. He explained how it may not be immediate, could take 24 to 36 hours to feel full effect. My mum felt some benefit straight away, she had her first decent sleep in weeks. The morning after, it felt tonnes better, more a cramp sensation but she was able to sit comfortably. Richard goes out of his way following the appointment by sending links to videos and information. He genuinely cares, and is a top bloke. I can't recommend him enough.

C. S.

Been a few times over their years with different issues and have been treated professionally and accurately by Richard. Would highly recommend to anyone

S. B.

I have been going for over 2 years now I don't have an pacific injury I find once a month helps Would definitely recommend

e. k.

The best therapy I have received. For a long time I suffered from neck stiffness, pain and hip stiffness and imbalance. During the COVID period I was dreaming of getting some sort of relief. I contacted Richard and he was kind enough to make an online assessment and send me videos before we can meet. Before the appointment and entering clinic every measure was taken to keep me safe. (The most precautions and safety measures I’ve experienced from any clinics) And I felt very safe. The massage was great and I felt relief during and after it. I even received a little complimentary acupuncture . I dance and the treatment therapy along with the videos and information, precautions and care Richard give to the patient makes it the best therapy you can receive.

J. T.

Richard saw me at very short notice due to sciatic pain. He is very professional and he has a very COVID safe space. Richard really helped with my pain and I was able to walk better immediately after he had finished. I would recommend Richard to any of my friends and family thank you

D. G. D. S.

I was looking for treatment for lower back pain and sciatica and was very impressed by the website for Achilles Healers Sports Therapy; this led me to book a session with Richard and I wasn't disappointed. Very professional service with a knowledgable practitioner who was also very warm and friendly. He was also well prepared during Covid with strict PPE, which was reassuring. I thought the sessions were great value for money and I received a number of treatments in one sitting including massage, acupuncture, microcurrent and application of Kinesiology tape. I noticed immediate relief and a marked reduction in pain. Richard also went out his way to help me after the sessions by sending me videos of exercises and postures to help with my pain. I highly recommended his services.

M. H.

Had a back injury from Apx 2 years ago from a spin class, was referred to the hospital for physio and nothing the did helped. Richard was recommenced to myself. Richard who located the problem area And after the first treatment I felt so much better, no more back ache and can now sit comfortably without any pressure pains. I feel amazing and wish I had been to see Richard sooner I would definitely recommend Richard

P. H.

I was referred to Richard by a good friend . I suffer with back and neck pain due to arthritis and nerve problems ..possibly sciatica. Having had physio and pain management through the NHS I am still in pain and other than painkillers there seemed very little could be done . Richard was very knowledgable and professional. His massage picked up quite a lot of knots and my neck and shoulders felt easier pretty much straight after . The acapuncture in my neck and back has had a positive effect .. I have managed to hoover the carpets today without being in a lot of pain . Many thanks Richard .

A. J.

Visited Richard with a troublesome shoulder. His attention to detail, reassurance and understanding are impeccable. I would not hesitate to recommend him, return to him and provide nothing but positive feedback.

E. L.

I was having bad back problems and I am new to the area. And having a physio and chiropractor back where I come from needed a decent professional! After a lot of searching online I found Richard. After reading a few reviews (which were all very good) I decided to give this gent a try! I must say one of the better decisions which I have made! I was sceptical about online booking, as sometimes in my experience, does not work, so I called Richard the good old fashioned way using the phone. Unfortunately the call went straight to answer phone, within 10 minutes I received a return phone call from Richard. From the offset he was very professional, he asked about my condition, my problems and any past history. After a vigorous yet easy chat, Richard bent to my requirements and got me booked in to see him as soon as he had a space in his diary. There were a number of appointments he had to offer differing in length, at no point did I feel pressure to take the longest appointment, however due to the wealth of knowledge Richard produced, I took his advice and opted for the longer time! On arrival to Achilles Richard was extremely professional and knowledgeable on a very high level, he explained step by step what he was doing and why he was doing it. I would not hesitate at any point to recommend Richard to anyone who has any issues. I certainly will be booking back in soon for my follow up! Thanks Richard your doing a fantastic job! Thank you for your service. Emma

K. L.

After suffering with intermittent lower back pain I was recommended Achilles Healers by a friend. It was easy and quick to arrange an appointment and I found Richard to be friendly but very professional. Straight after my first session my pain had eased and I was walking and moving better. I would highly recommend his services.

H. M.

Called Achilles Healers in the morning and had an appointment with Richard that afternoon. I had bad knee and calf pain, Richard was able to get to the source of my pain straight away, and I was back up and running (pain free!) in two days. Really knowledgeable and informative, also lots of suggestions if prevention going forward. Will be back again!

M. F.

Richard is a fantastic therapist he really helped me with my lower back pain. From the first contact he provided a professional straightforward service and took time to get to the root of my problem. He suggested a variety of exercises and practical tips to aid my recovery would definitely recommend.

G. P.

I went to Richard at Achilles Healers after suffering with tight hamstrings, after a couple of treatments I was impressed with both the service and the outcome of the treatment. Richard was very friendly and provided useful aftercare advice in order to stretch out the hamstrings after exercising. He is a great physio and I strongly recommend him to anyone struggling with any aches and pains.

m.

Richard is brilliant, he fitted me in at short notice due to the COVID restrictions and me being the proud father of a 14 day old. I had been really struggling with my back, and with the lack of sleep I was already getting, any sleep was desperately needed. An hour session with a very short assessment to begin with and I was back to normal ish.... I am going to need a lot more, with having to lift 2 kids now so I will definitely return!

K. R.

Could not recommend Richard more if I tried! He has a wealth of knowledge and understanding of the human body - he knows how to treat and prevent injuries as well as manage any other physical problems. He uses different treatments depending on the location/problem and communicates what he is doing and how it should/may feel as well as checking in on any sensations you experience throughout the treatment. I visited Richard when experiencing knee problems from running - he treated the pain with massage and acupuncture, showed me stretches and exercises to prevent future pain and then sent follow up exercises, advice and an overview after the appointment. I’ll be making regular trips to see Richard in the future and have already recommended him to friends and family. Whether it’s a present or past injury, a problem which you’ve experienced for years and years or you just fix a bit of ‘fixing’ then Richard is your guy. Excellent service at an affordable price. I’m looking forward for my next treatment - thanks Richard!

D. A.

I visited Richard in a bid to address stiffness in my back and headaches. He made sure he had a thorough understanding of my issues before providing treatment. This included a sports massage and acupuncture. I felt immediate relief from the muscle stiffness and my headache subsided within a few days. I'd recommend him to anyone. Thank you Richard

N. M.

After suffering for nearly 2 years with leg and back problems I decided to give Richard a call ( I have seen other physio’s and nothing has worked). Richard was very polite, knowledgeable and professional. Richard managed to squeeze me in on the same day for a consultation. On arrival Richard was very welcoming and spoke to me through out the process of his examination of my back and legs. Richard decision was that acupuncture would be the best way forward (I was a bit sceptical not to say the least). Richard spoke to me through out the procedure and was very reassuring explaining all the benefits of having it done. Two days later and WOW. I’m now pain free. I cannot thank Richard enough as he’s given me a new lease of life. I cannot recommend Richard highly enough and wouldn’t hesitate if any other problems arise to give Richard a call.

E. G.

I originally put off going to see anyone when I developed ankle pain whilst running, but gave in after a couple of weeks and booked in to see Richard after reading some great reviews. Booking was easy and could be done online and I found Richard to be incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. During the appointment he explained clearly what the problem was, how to correct the issue and how to prevent it happening again. The treatment administered during the session made a positive difference immediately and after following his advice I was back running just over a week later. I have recommended Richard to friends and would not hesitate to go back to AHST for any further issues.

O.

Very professional, clean and neat. Made me feel at ease especially with covid precautions. Would visit again and highly recommend.

B. D.

Richard was very professional he made me feel very comfortable for my first ever sports therapy massage i had a very sore back which was a problem over time but made worst from a long distance hike he got me in same day and my back pain had eased up the next day now that long standing pain has gone i can’t thank him enough would definatly recommend

R. J.

Richard helped me when I had back muscle pain by immediately fitting me in for treatment. He also followed up to check how I was doing after the treatment which has worked well, and sent me exercises to reduce the risk of a reoccurrence. He also has practical but safe precautions in place with regards Covid-19 Thank you

A.

I had a very painful knot in my upper back, I found Richard through google. When I spoke to him he sounded very professional and knew what he was talking about, he managed to treat me within hours. He is very reasonably priced and within 30 minutes I had received a diagnosis and Richard had treated me with acupuncture at no extra cost. Richard has said that pain would go 2 days later, it did I was back in the gym thanks to Richard and will no be going to see him regularly.

D. J.

After struggling for years with constant discomfort or pain, despite having attended physiotherapy at hospital, I was absolutely thrilled with the relief that I had, even after only a couple of appointments with Richard. He took the time to explain everything to me in detail and was highly professional in every way. The aftercare stretches and advice I was given has meant that I am still pain free, months down the line. I certainly would not hesitate to attend further appointments if I ever need to. I really cannot recommend Richard highly enough.

I. M.

Richard is a fantastic therapist- professional, knowlegable and helpful. He gained a thorough understsnding of my issues before providing treatment. I would definitely recommend. Thank you Richard.

I. H.

I was Searching on google for massages for pain relief and looking for someone who is very reputable and knows there stuff!....I came across this! Richard is upmost professional and down to earth, he is a great person and knows so much about human anatomy, he explains things so well and it was so interesting to get so much understanding how the muscles are connected to one another and how to prevent pain. If you playing sport or have very active lifestyle get them professional massages from Richard! I will be certainly using him again!

J. K.

Richard was very friendly and also informative on each and every application of his work and in doing so helped me too understand what he was doing and why. As well as this he was very thorough in his examination ensuring he was able to find the root of what could be the problem and how best to treat it. I would highly recommend him as a physio.

C. F.

Richard is an exceptional sports therapist. His knowledge of the body and its workings is impressive and he is not phased by chronic and complex problems. Richard has taken a keen and caring interest in my issues and, using a variety of techniques, worked with me to look at how both to approach and treat the underlying causes. If one method does not seem to work Richard tries a different tact and explains what he is doing, how he will do it and what he is trying to achieve. He ends his treatment sessions with advice on exercises and stretches to aid the healing process - and follows up with emails of videos to guide you through the routines. I have seen many musculoskeletal therapists and other related health care professionals and Richard is by far the best. With his support and dedication I am confident of success. The achievements made so far in relatively few sessions have encouraged me to think positively. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone in need of healing.

A. A.

After being with the same sports massage therapist for 10 years it was hard to find a replacement . Richard came recommended to me by a couple of friends . He is extremely professional and comfortable to be around as I am quite body conscience and not a typical athletic figure ! I suffer on and off with back ache and find massage really helps . Richard has more of a manipulation technique and knows exactly where to work to help relieve pain . After visiting Richard my back ache eases and I feel flexible and loosened again ! He also qualifies in acupuncture .. to which I've yet still to experience ! .. maybe on my next visit ! Great job and worth a visit 😊

S. L.

Puts you at ease straight away & robust COVID safeguards in place. My back had improved after 1 session!

R. H.

My first time having a massage for anything other than leisure, and I found it to be really good value and highly effective. Woke up unable to turn my neck and over several days couldn't shake it, Richard did a marvellous job. really knew his stuff. He found the problem areas and quote , recommended acupuncture (a first for me) and did that expertly, and showed me some stretches that I didn't know to look after myself better. Made a huge difference and a very good service overall.

K. F.

Both my husband and I have had a course of treatment from Richard. For both of us he has provided excellent and professional analysis, cause and treatment. As well as providing this he also gave us aftercare and possible solutions for prevention of reoccurrence of the same injury and provided an individual plan. He was always happy to arrange appointments to suit out needs. We would definitely recommend Achilles Healers Sports Therapy.

L. K.

Richard is very professional and gave me effective varied treatments and explained in detail what he was doing any why. I improved almost straight away and following subsequent visits have continued to do so. I am very pleased with my recovery and I highly recommend him and his services.

N. P.

After months of lower back pain, I chose to get it looked at with Richard after recently moving into the area. From start to finish the consultation was first class, including a great online set up with reminders that really helped. The advice and guidance given for after care were really good and I plan to follow this alongside massage to hopefully reduce the lower back pain. Thanks Richard, I would certainly recommend Richard to others and will be continuing treatment with him.

S. G.

excellent professional service. sorted my ankle injury and back injury. definitely can recommend

A. F.

I went to see Richard as my legs were shot following a 25 mile time trial and only a few days before I was representing GB at the European Duathlon Champs. Richard worked on me for an hour going in hard where necessary and suggested ideas for rehab and recovery and by race day my legs felt great, many thanks and Ill be back.

P. A.

Having sustained a number of sports injuries over the years with various treatments on them after periodic recurrences - from various therapists and physios, I had mixed success. I was keen for Richard to assess my issues to determine appropriate treatment and follow on exercise routine to get me back into some sort of shape. I was very please with my visits and treatments as Richard highlighted things seemingly unconnected with my problems, that when acted on, helped in improving things. The issues were explained in detail and I was given comprehensive info on exercises to do to further improve matters. I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard and Achilles Healers to anyone with problems as I know he will be able to help resolve them.

a. h.

I had a really painfull back and had visited my doctors twice, given two lots of pain killers that didnt move it all. My friend told me about Richard. It has been a life saver me, after two visits the pain is easing off and no pain killers required. I highly recommend Richard he really does the job.

P. W.

Excellent experience !!! I have been going for years to different Chinese and Thai massages to find proper deep tissue specialist but I just found it today. Richard is the best therapist I ever had, I was amazed by his enormous knowledge of body anatomy. Highly recommend for everybody :) Pawel

A. H.

I first starting seeing Richard over a year ago with sciatica issues from a herniated disc. I was close to a date for surgery which Richard was sceptical would work as he felt it was a piraformis issue. I had the operation but he was right - it had little impact on my sciatic pain. A year later i have returned to Richard and in two sessions he has reduced the pain I have been experiencing drastically to the extent that I have stopped much of my pain relief and I feel confident that with another session or two I will be free of pain for the first time in 2 years. Through a combination of massage, an oscillating machine and acupuncture he has done what a surgical operation could not manage! Many thanks Richard - I can not sing your praises highly enough!

P. D.

Richard Daley is quite simply one of the best therapists I have ever been to have treatment with. Not only did he sort out my issues, he gave me superb advice in how to prevent my issues happening again. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

L. S.

As a competitive sportsperson I went to see Richard for sports massage initially, and we've also been working on a knee injury I never properly rehabbed. I've been given some great advice for things I can do at home alongside my treatment which is helping a lot. Caring and very knowledgable sports therapist. Would highly recommend to anyone!

m. g.

Richard took his time to find a solution to my back problems. The massage and acupuncture really helped me to get back out running and continue my marathon training. Would recommend achilles healers to other runner.

s. s.

I went for a massage owing to severe neck pain due to long computer use.. I recieved an appointment same day and i went back the following day. I had accupuncture treatment and a massage. This was during the current pandemic as i wanted a safe place. Achilles check temperature and i felt safe with the safety/clean environment and the use of his ppe. I would definetly go again. Thank you for seeing me at short notice.

N. M.

Very professional and full of helpful tips and exercises for my back problems. I had the treatment for pretty much the full hour as Richard emailed me a copy of the forms I had to fill in prior to the appointment! Would definitely recommend!

J. S.

Richard certainly knows his stuff. He is very informative and knowledgeable. The treatment I received for lower back pain seems to have worked a treat. Exceptional value for money considering the charges made elsewhere for less.

I. A.

Richard really knows where to find the problem areas in your body and how to treat them. He also provides great advice on different stretching and exercise techniques you can do yourself to ease muscle pain and tightness. Highly recommended.

L. E.

I had been suffering with pain in my knee from my golf swing stance. Richard carried out a very thorough assessment and then researched what might be causing the pain. He was able to verify the reason behind the pain as well as suggesting changes to my golf swing which would reduce the pressure on my knee. Richard also was able to provide relief from the pain in the knee and I have recommended him to a number of friends since my treatment.

M. P.

Richard was very thorough and professional when he did my assessment and treatment on a long standing knee injury. He explained the cause of the problem, relieved most of the pain, and gave me good advice on how to rehabilitate and strengthen my knee to avoid future injury. Highly recommended.

l. n.

Extremely knowledgeable and compassionate therapist; it’s not about printing off a bunch of stretch exercises and sending the client on their way.. with Richard you get a totally bespoke service and he has a whole plethora of treatments available to administer. What I really appreciate is getting the download on the science behind the treatments, so you can take that knowledge away with you and continue your treatment yourself. I’m not ‘fixed’ yet, but we’ll get there, I have total faith in that!

D. W.

Richard provides an excellent sports injury / therapy service and is very professional and knowledgeable. He provided a diagnosis and assistance to treat my injury & pain using various techniques. Highly Recommended.

G. M.

Thanks to Richard and his help with my back I can now move freely and carry on with my exercise routine. He is extremely professional and puts you at ease instantly. I received after care advise as well so my problems don't recur. I would highly recommend him👌🏼

c. b.

I suffered a calf injury and had other issues with my back, which probably led to the injury. Richard was very thorough and knowledgeable. He was very helpful with advice and my calf injury eased with his help. I think my back issues are also improving as well. Thanks

D. J.

Went to see Richard as I had had a problem with my shoulder for a few months. Within 15 minutes of my consultation, Richard had diagnosed the problem and then proceeded to use a range of treatments which included acupuncture and deep tissue massage. The shoulder hasn't troubled me since. A fantastic service! Thanks

J. H.

I've been doing triathlons and long distance cycling for some time now and have been plagued with injuries from my hips to my toes... Actually, I would hate the period after an event with muscle cramps and spasms in my legs for days. Usually in the past I self-rehabilitate, doing extensive research but with little results. I've been seeing Richard for a short time now, but he has had immediate results. He also managed to squeeze 1 mph out of my legs, you may not think this is much, but it's six minutes and increasing saved on every hour I'm cycling. I'm very impressed with the progress we are making and look forward to many more sessions. This guy is the real deal, has extensive knowledge and practices numerous techniques, the kit this guy has is very impressive. If you're having any kind of pain, don't hesitate like I did and get booked in. I now book my sessions weeks in advance with Richard he's that good!

P. S.

5 stars out of 5! Superb service and aftercare from a skilled and professional therapist. Treatment from Richard has put an end to chronic sciatic pain I was experiencing in my legs, glutes and lower back which was having a significant impact on my physical wellbeing. Richard, I can't thank you enough for helping me enjoy my running again.

C. W.

I have had chronic back problems for years in my middle back inner shoulder blade (spasm very tight) also shoulder (pinch tightness), buttock and lower back. Coming to Richard has helped me to manage it better. As well as the deep tissue massage his advice has been great as during treatment it is very informative as learn how different symptoms can be connected. This also includes at the end of session emails and links to You tube for stretch exercises to complement treatment. Also just ongoing followup communication even if not being treated. I work in an office and drive in traffic upto nearly an hour in so spend most of my working week sat down. So that probably contributes towards my back condition. I do go running at lunch time and do 5k 3 days a week. Then stretch using some of the techniques that work best for me from Richard as given a range of options to try to see which is most comfortable as some are hard due to my inflexiblity. But if focus on other stretches, in time will help to make those areas more flexible . Its great coming as feel more confident in managing and getting welcome relief. I personally would recommend Richard to anyone who was chronic tight back problems and is a real pleasure to work with.

C. P.

Only visited twice so far, but Richard comes across as very professional and knowledgeable. Sessions involve lots of explanations of why things are sore/tight etc, which I like rather than it just being a mystery. Richard advises of exercises to do at home, and is very good at following up with some written notes by email which is great as I always forget what I've been told by the time I get home.

C. P.

Richard is a brilliant therapist, thorough skilled friendly. Highly recommend him for all injuries, aches and pains and dysfunctions. Don’t hesitate to book in with him, he really delivers.

B.

Easy to book on line, and good massage and deep tissue techniques which released my tight lower back and shoulders very effectively. Richard's explanation of the benefits of acupuncture was also very informative.

G. L.

A very professional service, from online booking through to aftercare, Richard certainly knows his stuff. He is very thorough in assessing the whole body, not just your injury. His aftercare advice is also excellent. Highly recommended.

M. L.
