Testimonials

I was lucky enough to meet Claire from Richmond Osteopaths after completing the Virgin London Marathon in April. Claire gave me a much needed massage and I have also had a follow up treatment at the clinic with Nicolette. I would recommend Richmond Osteopaths to anyone!

I started competing at an elite level in the summer of 2010 where I won a series of county and national titles. To be able to compete at this level requires high velocity training at an elite standard. This training is spread over a six day week with some days taken as recovery days as the body needs a cooling off period. Towards the end of 2010 I suffered a major hamstring injury, which in turn interrupted my preparation for the summer of the 2011 season.

I was very fortunate to meet Claire Slater, a registered physiotherapist and osteopath from Richmond Osteopaths, She was able to diagnose certain imbalances which has aided my recovery and assisted in strengthening core muscle groups to enable me to perform better than the following year.

I make appointments to see Claire twice a week and she conducts a specific treatment to the key muscle groups, in order for me to maintain peak performance.
Claire has taught me many things regarding my body and how it functions, and how to get the best results out of it. I am now able to compete again at an elite level against some of the worlds best sprinters.

Next year I aim to be a finalist at the London 2012 Olympics, and as long as I have Claire as my physiotherapist, I have no doubts that I will be there.

Having tried other therapies in the past, some with limited success, I can honestly say that my osteopathic treatment from Nicolette has seriously made a huge improvement to my general wellbeing. I no longer find myself lying motionless on the floor in an attempt to get relief from the shooting pains in my lower back. From her thorough consultation to her hands on treatment style she has not only helped to ‘put me back together’ but she has also helped me to maintain the benefit of my treatment and has shown me the importance of doing regular stretching and exercises to prevent the return of my aches and pains. I would highly recommend Nicolette to anyone in a similar situation as her professionalism, level of knowledge and her willingness to put the patient first, she will have you back to your best in no time!

The treatment I received from Claire at Richmond Osteopaths not only got rid of my knee pain and got me back into the gym quickly but the information and rehab advice she gave me has helped me to adapt my training programme to reduce the likelihood of my injury returning. As a keen amateur sports person I have seen many physios and osteopaths in my time but Claire is the first therapist who has actually helped me to maintain my fitness once my injury was resolved. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I suffered from severe aching neck pain and shoulder stiffness for 6 months, it interrupted my work and I had difficulties finding a comfortable position to sleep. I came into Richmond Osteopaths to see Nicolette. I was impressed and felt an immediate improvement even after one treatment session. Nicolette designed a stretching and strengthening programme to help me keep the movement I have gained and I have been pain free as a result. Fantastic service, I would strongly recommend Richmond Osteopaths.

I have a long history of low back pain and found that with my desk based computer job, my back was getting worse with increasingly more headaches. I am so glad that I found Nicolette at Richmond Osteopaths. Unlike many therapists I have been to over the years Nicky took the time to resolve the root cause of my problems and has successfully treated them. She also designed a personalised programme to prevent the problem from re-occurring. I would highly recommend Nicky to anyone looking for a therapist who really cares.
