Reviews of Drysdale Osteopathy Glasgow

a. m.

I found David online after being referred to the dental hospital for TMJ Disorder. As the waiting time is several months, I needed to find some immediate pain relief. I had strong painkillers and physio without success. After the first treatment with David, I felt an enormous difference. He is basically a magician! Laser treatment and acupuncture combined with massage and neck manipulation resulted in a total transformation. Can’t recommend him highly enough.

L. B.

I have been visiting David for treatment for just under a year now. I first visited David for back related problems from working at a desk. I had been to a variety of deep tissue and sports masseuses as well as chiropractors, but no one was able to relieve the pain. David was able to very quickly find the source of the problem and relieve the pain and problem. I more recently had a grade 2 calf tear and David has been able to treat the sports injury more effectively than the physio that I was seeing previously. David is highly knowledgeable and skilled. He uses a mixture of massage, releases and dry needling and will tailor your treatment according to your needs. I often recommend David to friends and colleagues and couldn't give him higher praise

I. M.

David is reliable, thorough, attentive and - clearly- an exceptionally knowledgeable osteopath. He works intuitively, with real sensitivity and is able to advise on many different aspects of lifestyle which might affect bodily health. He helped me solve my back problems really effectively and compassionately. After repeat visits and the really quite incredible results, I trust him implicitly - and would recommend him to absolutely anyone.

L. C.

I have been going to David twice a week for last 4 weeks and I'm now free of back pain . David used different techniques including acupuncture which worked a treat. David was recommended to me and use not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family, I'm delighted I'm now pain free, my visits were definitely worth it.

P. A.

I have used David osteopath services for over 8 years and have always found David to be professional, efficient and extremely effective in diagnoses, treatment and prevention advice. I suffer from hip impingement which causes lower back and hip pain, David has significantly reduced my pain and greatly improved my hip movement In addition he has recommended various activities which have strengthened my hips and now I’m pretty much pain free which is great. I routinely recommend David to my work colleagues, friends and family and would definitely recommend David to anyone needing an osteopath !! Paul Anderson

I went for treatment with David after pulling all my muscles from my back to my ankles. I could not move at all without feeling extreme pain. Over the course of several treatments combining traditional osteopathy with state of the art laser treatment I am now mobile again. I recommend him wholeheartedly. Callum Rae.

K. T.

I have successfully been treated by David for various different issues periodically for more than 10 years, and he has been excellent every time. His skill as an osteopath is first class, but his other additional skills including acupuncture and cranio-sacral therapy result in treatments which are truly tailored to the problem. He is sensitive, empathetic and highly professional. Issues David has treated me for include: severe soft tissue damage to neck & shoulder after a car accident; migraines & earache; frozen shoulder; and back issues after childbirth. I now also see him for 'general maintenance' of what I know to be weak areas, so we can work together to strengthen those problems. David is my first port of call for many physical issues, and I highly recommend him.

H. M.

David is a first class osteopath and therapist. Over the last 10 years David has helped me through a number of episodes of Shoulder / Neck and Back issues. I know I can rely on David to provide only the treatment that is necessary to get me on the path to recovery. After my ankle fusion David went the extra mile and co-ordinated with the podiatrist to ensure I had appropriate orthotics to suit my altered gait. I have recommended David to numerous friends and they have all been very pleased with the treatment they received. I would have no hesitation in recommending David to anyone.

G. R.

David is an extremely effective practitioner with a wide range of knowledge and experience.After being treated very successfully for a lower back problem (that my GP threw pain-killers at but didn't resolve) I now send my staff to David immediately if they have back or neck problems. So far we have had a 100% success rate! Can't recommend him highly enough.

P. M.

David is a consummate professional and excellent practitioner. David employs a naturally sensitive and empathic approach with expert knowledge in each session and produces pain free results, time and time again. I have attended David's practice for more than three years and wholeheartedly recommend him and his fantastic work.

F. G.

I had been suffering from severe lower back pain (spasms) when I came to David for treatment. As massage and manipulation were too painful he opted for laser treatment to the affected area. Over the course of 4 sessions the improvement was incredible. My sleep is no longer interrupted by pain and as a result my mood and energy levels are hugely improved. I would recommend wholeheartedly.

B. L.

If I could give more stars I would. David was the first practitioner to be able to help me with my back, jaw and neck pain and his treatment made a huge difference in the long term post treatment as well! Absolutely brilliant and a wonderful person on top of that!

G. P.

I've seen several osteopaths over the last few years. David is by far the most knowledgeable and his approach leaves you in no doubt you're in safe hands. Using deep massage, manipulation of my neck and acupuncture the tension headaches emanating from my neck have been eradicated. Can't say enough about good things about David. Highly recommended.

M. S. F. Y.

David is a fantastic osteopath and acupuncteur, he understands what treatment works best and is very intuitive. After years of struggling with back pain and trying several different doctors and treatment, I am absolutely delighted with the results I get with David. I highly recommend him.

K. M.

Six months ago I was in a bad way with my hip. I was, and still am, awaiting a consultation for a hip replacement. Back in February I was having difficulty getting to sleep after climbing the stairs to my bedroom, and unfortunately the bathroom is downstairs and I get up four or five times each night. Climbing the stairs caused significant pain and I couldn’t lie down for half an hour each time. This meant I was losing about 2 hours sleep every night, David asked if I would be willing for him to do trials with the K-Laser, and I agreed. I had no idea what to expect, but I certainly did not expect the dramatic improvement that I got! That first night I had the best night’s sleep I’d had in four months! I was able to lie down without pain and get off to sleep perfectly. David continued the treatments twice a week for the next month, and then after a week, and after that lockdown happened and I had no further treatments until David reopened his clinic in July. The wonderful thing has been that the initial improvement continued and has been sustained throughout lockdown. I regained the use of the muscles in my left thigh. In February I had been unable to lift my left leg properly. For instance to put on my socks or to get into bed I had to use my hands to lift that leg, and rising from chairs was impossible without using my hands to push myself up. After those initial weeks of treatment I can rise off most chairs without using my hands, and I take great pleasure in lifting that leg unaided. I’m looking forward to having further treatment to see what else I can achieve.

K. A.

David is an excellent expert in his field. Highly recommended, the best treatment, the best understanding and most of all the personal touch and attention to detail and a real desire to help, he succeeds! When I came away from my first appointment I was so delighted I could have cried, a result after years of not knowing where my pain and injuries stemmed from, I knew I was taking my first step on my road to recovery.

A. M.

After failing to see any real improvement in my lower back and leg pain using anti inflammatories over several weeks, I made an appointment with the Drysdale clinic on the back of the vast number of positive reviews on google. Any pessimism I might of had going in was immediately swept aside as I left feeling almost pain free after just the inital 1 hour appointment. Over the course of a further two more appointments, David displayed his extensive knowledge and techniques such as deep tissue massage, osteopathic manipulation and acupuncture. All of which I had never done before and David's care and understanding of the patient made it very easy for me to relax into. I cannot recommend enough for anyone looking to see an osteopath for the first time or someone who is looking to see someone new.

S.

When I first came to David, I could hardly move without being in pain from aches in my back, neck and shoulders. After a number of sessions with him, his techniques and expertise have freed me from said pain! Would highly recommend him as an honest professional who really knows his stuff!

E. R.

As a trained dancer for the last 15 years I have seen many different osteopaths and David is a rare find. He has resolved an old injury I have suffered for the past few years in a very short time. He seems to pinpoint very quickly what the issue might be , and also what will be best in treating the problem . Highly recommend.

J. M.

Drysdale Osteopathy has helped my shoulder and back problems enormously. I've had problems for years but with various manipulations, massage and acupuncture tailored to my injuries over the past few months, I now only need a monthly 30 min session to keep things in check. It has made a big difference to my life now I am mainly pain free. I would highly recommend David Drysdale.

Y. K.

I was introduced to David 5 years ago through another accident which left me on the brink of losing my Tree Surgery business. I was unable to carry on with my love for whitewater kayaking and snowboarding. NHS physio told me It was the end for me work and sport wise. However, due to Davids combined knowledge of sea kayaking and white water along with other sports and how they affect the body he has been able to tailor treatment expertly to both my work and sport life. Also he is not confined to one method of treatment having an on going professional ethic of learning a whole variety of different skills from Osteopathic Manipulation through deep massage to Acupuncture even down to dietary advice for certain problems. Thanks David for another five years of business and fun !!

C.

Wholeheartedly recommend David. I had immediate beneficial effects from acupuncture (I came out walking straight for the first time in months). He's also very prudent and careful not to over-promise.

J. C. K.

Highly recommend David as an osteopath! After trying physios, chiropractors, medication, and everything in between I have managed to gain relief from postural occupational and cranial pains. David is knowledgable, professional and most importantly provides treatment that improves symptoms. The K laser deals with tendonitis when it flares up which has allowed me to continue working. David uses a multitude of techniques in a holistic manner.

G. S.

I've been using David Drysde on and off for many years. I've tried various people over that time depending on where I am and he is by far and away the best. He gets stuck in with very little waffle and obviously knows his stuff. Even when my back's been really bad it often only takes a couple of appointments to get it sorted and he doesn't keep you coming back if you don't need to like others I could mention. Very good at cracking joints in a good way, deep tissue massage, and acupuncture. Would highly recommend.

K. F.

I suffer routinely from shoulder and neck pain, and previously tried to remedy this with massages. A recent bout of this was however so debilitating that I sought assistance from David, believing that osteopathy might be a better therapy to pursue. I highly recommend visiting David, who provides a most welcoming and relaxed environment and the mixture of assessment, accupunture and manipulations within two sessions tackled the most recent symptoms I had been suffering from, whilst also addressing the long term aches.

I. H.

David is an excellent osteopath and knows exactly what's he's talking about. Just after the first treatment I could feel the change and relief from the pains which I was having in my neck and shoulder due to my bad posture. After having many sessions from chiropractic and physiotherapy (from the NHS which was hopeless) I went to david and just after one session I felt amazing. No longer waking up to stiff necks and pains in my shoulder I could finally have a goodnight sleep and wake up feeling fresh and ready for the day. Would highly recommend David to anyone.

J. K.

David is by far the best osteopath I've been to through the years. Very experienced and looks at all angles to find a long term solution for you. Worth every penny!

J. S.

After having suffered from back pain for several year and trying different methods to relieve the pain... after reading the reviews of david i decided to book an appointment and after only one appointment my back felt amazing... I was referred back for a 30 minute follow up appointment the following week for David to check my progress which was fantastic! It's been about 3 weeks since my appointment and my back hasn't felt this good in years, thank you David :)

E. P.

I had tweaked my neck from sleeping in a poor position, and had buzzing for days in my head from having hit it on my cupboard door. After one session with David - where he did a few different kinds of massage as well as some spinal adjustments - I immediately felt relief in my neck, and the buzzing went away within hours. I was truly amazed by how quickly I responded to the treatment. Strongly recommend.

J. D.

I really can't recommend David highly enough - if you're in pain go and see this guy! I have had chronic intermittent back pain for over 10 years with a extreme flare up last year which has lasted 9 months. I went from exercising 5 times per week, running 10ks, lifting weights, hill walking, etc to hardly being able to move and unable to sleep. I tried everything from 6 months physio with the NHS to yoga, pilates, chiropracters etc - at the end of my tether with the constant pain I read David's website and reviews and decided to go an see him. I really wanted help but having tried everything else I was sceptical. I couldn't have been more wrong! 2 sessions of cranial osteopathy and massage followed by 3 (yes only 3!!) sessions of acupuncture and I'm almost back to normal. Have even started back at the gym (slowly!) this week. It is honestly nothing short of miraculous - I could hardly walk/move and now I feel like I have my life back. David's approach is professional, highly skilled, caring and ethical - he will not have you going back again and again for treatment - he'll just fix you fast - if anyone can he can. As other client's have said in their reviews, I can't thank you or recommend you highly enough David! Jennifer

A. C.

David is very thorough and professional and really understands the root of your problem. His service is of superb value and unlike others he wont suggest 10 appointments after your first assessment - he will be honest with you and only ask you to make further appointments if he believes that this is necessary. I totally recommend him.

I. D.

David is a great osteopath who provides treatment only as and when necessary to alleviate a particular problem thus saving time and money. His website and blog also offers a host of useful free information about related health and wellbeing issues. I would definitely recommend him as an excellent and ethical osteopath.

M. M.

I found David through Google reviews. I had been wishing to find a good therapist for my damaged spine for a very long time. His approach is tailored to the person and their specific issues. For the first time in years, I am free from chronic pain.

T. R.

I would not hesitate to recommend David, he is a top quality Osteopath. I found him to be both very knowledgeable and professional during my back treatments. Thanks for all your help.

F. J.

Lower back pain had stopped me going to the gym, and was gradually increasing prior to my visit to Mr Drysdale. An hour long session left me feeling much better, and a week further on I have no pain at all and am now able to get back on the health kick! Highly recommend a visit to this gentleman if you have back issues.

A. E. A.

David was recommended by a friend and he is indeed an excellent osteopath. I have been visiting him since last year and I find he is professional and knowledgeable. He listens to my needs and he delivers an excellent treatment.

P. C.

This is my second visit to David. About 20 years ago he was the only one who could entirely free me from chronic back pain, and he has worked his magic again. I'm pain free once again and have remained so for almost 6 months now. And learned some valuable lessons along the way on work based ergonomics!

T. M.

After having many, many manipulations by various Glasgow based osteopaths, I can honestly say that David Drysdale has achieved more in 3 visits than was accomplished by any of the others. This is because he actually listens to your problems and tailors your treatment accordingly. I am a 75 year old retired executive with neck and back problems which have been much alleviated by his deep massage and acupuncture. Terry Mc Fadden

S. L.

Fantastic! Would Highly recommend David! I struggled to find anyone who could help with an old Gym Injury to my back & shoulder, but after seeing David a few times, the pain has now gone and my shoulder has significantly improved!

A. C.

I went to David a few weeks ago with very bad lower back pain due to sitting for long periods of time at a computer with bad posture. It was keeping me awake at night and I was constantly stiff, sore and uncomfortable. After just a few sessions with David I was back to normal and feeling like a new man. I really can't recommend David enough!

A. R.

I had a regular osteopath who retired and I found David during my search. I'm so glad I did. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

J. P.

2 back operations in my 20's was always going to leave me a bit crooked. I've tried it all Chiropractors, reflexologists, Reiki and sometimes wishing aliens or celestials would come and fix me. 15 years now I've been coming back to see David, pretty much says it all. I'll never be truely fixed but when you know that a little help straightening you out can give you a few days of feeling great for a while I'll take that treatment all day long but usually take an hour. :-) Thanks David, see you next month. - Justin P

A. G. B.

I've no hesitation in recommending David Drysdale, as a Osteopath, Masseur, acupuncturist & empathic diagnostician. I've benefited from his expertise, skill & insight since 1996, with various chronic back, posture, sports injury, musculoskeletal, over-use & ageing problems. I'm one of his infrequent but repeat patients. He's primarily interested in you as a person, & getting you better as soon as possible. he's excellent at suggesting changes that you can explore & do yourself, & is not interested in encouraging the dependency of repeat visits. He's a holistic healer & a very skilled osteopath.

E. R.

I can’t stress how amazing David is. He was recommended many years ago and I would never go anywhere else. He really is a rare find. His knowledge is second to none. Thank you David!

P. B.

Can I give six stars? David is a true professional who has helped me through challenging times of severe neck and shoulder pain to a place of real comfort and being able to get on with life. David talks you through everything and will advise not to continue treatment if you no longer need it. I will be back in the future (hopefully not too soon!) and I would not hesitate to recommend him - I have passed his name on to many people already.

S. C.

I strained my wrist while windsurfing, David did acupuncture and within 1/2 hour was better. I could then use my wrist again. Fantastic treatment thanks David!

G. J. M.

highly recommended. David has helped me enormously with my aches and pains from my extremely active lifestyle. I have and will continue to recommend David without hesitation.

n. j.

I highly recommend David Drysdale without any hesitation. To make my statement short and sweet, I would say ‘he has magic hands’. I felt better right after the first treatment.

N. T.

Honestly recommend David Drysdale Osteopath absolutely brilliant, been to the doctors had all the pain killer's for my back and nothing worked, decided to give this a try and wouldn't go anyway else now totally pain free, could stand up straight again and finally get some rest, he is a very caring and professional guy please please give it a try you will never go anyway else after going here.

M. m.

One session with Mr Drysdale, one session only and incredibly my back is pain free!! Wonderful!!! He really knows his stuff. Highly recommended.

D. S.

David was able to help me with a muscle problem. He is a wise man and easy to work with. Recommended.

David is very professional, helpful and understanding with my back problems. I would totally recommend a visit. As he has helped me a lot.

D. M.

Had shoulder problems for over two and a half years. Been receiving treatment and its like night and day. Highly recommended.

I. v. b. &. w.

Having try,d a few other places for treatment and getting nowhere we have to say we wouldn’t think of going anywhere else now First class service from start to finish 👍

c.

Very professional, he helped me a lot with my injuries.

R. M.

David takes a professional and holistic approach to his treatment. I had to take time off work due to tendonitis in my hand and he was able to address this by examining my overall posture due to my occupation. He explained how the kay laser therapy works and after only a few short sessions my hand is now pain free and I am confident that I will return to him in future should I have any further issues.

E. F.

I would recommend David unreservedly

Been using David on and off for 6 years . Various back injuries have led me to having lower back and hip problems. This latest episode Was particularly bad , after attending Chiropractor I went back to David as soon as he had an appointment. No acupuncture this time instead David used a Laser on me , Unbelievable results straight away mobility massive improved. I had two appointments a week and it made a massive difference. Now reduced to 1app a week as the improvement was so great David felt two appointments were no longer required. David is brilliant , the laser is great it’s a non evasive treatment which doesn’t leave you in the same type of pain as other treatments. David is very honest with you regarding your treatment and won’t have you coming in if it’s not required . The results on this treatment have been brilliant , David is someone I have recommended to friends and has never not fixed someone. If you’re struggling go and see him , get the treatment and you will be better.

J. R.

Having been through the experience of Pain Clinics, physiotherapy and medication, I have been surprised and delighted to experience such significant pain relief after only a few sessions with David Drysdale. His down to earth practical approach identified and worked directly with my neck and back pain from the outset. The actual work was not comfortable, but I quickly experienced a positive shift. This may of course not be the case for everyone, however, I would certainly recommend his practice. Thanks David, I will do my best to look after my back better, however, I know where to come if I can't manage on my own. I have recently had to return to David for treatment of back pain experienced whilst cycling. His patient and careful work has again left me pain-free, and back on my bike again. Again, I would recommend his work to anyone experiencing pain and difficulty in movement.

J. W.

I would highly recommend David’s service and his expertise and knowledge. Following a vertebrae fracture I spent some weeks in recovery. When that had healed I was still relatively immobile and suffering from back and muscle pains. I had seen physiotherapists but wasn’t making the progress I wanted. David was quick to identify the issues and apply various treatments and advising on an exercise regime which helped enormously. After a number of sessions he then referred me to a personal trainer to assist my recovery to the next phase. After a year or so from the initial injury I am in a much better space and seeing David was a critical part of this.

I. S.

David is an excellent and dedicated Osteopath who is continually adding to his huge armoury of skills and knowledge for the benefit of his clients. Prior to becoming a client of his over ten years ago I went to various Chiropractors and found myself becoming increasingly dependant on their services, to the point of weekly visits for months on end. David gives more time to get to know you and with his skill in acupuncture combined with a variety of manipulation techniques, I find that I usually only need to visit him four to five times a year. For a classical musician with a lot of wear and tear on his spine after 20 years, that is a blessed relief! Many thanks for keeping me together - I can't recommend you highly enough.
