Some years ago, I had major surgery on my brain that involved my head being held stationary at a difficult angle for 12 hours. The surgery was very successful but I developed severe headaches. Over the years I have tried many different pain killers, some of which changed my personality and affected my balance and ability to concentrate, three different physio’s, chiropractors, exercise with a trainer, acupuncture - British and Chinese - and hypnotherapy. All helped to a degree but nothing significantly.
A few weeks ago I visited Nicolette who from the start appeared to understand my problem. Today, I am no longer taking any pain killers, my movement is much better, my balance is improved and my headaches are an occasional phenomenon rather than a debilitating constant. What more could I have asked for ? I have got my life back and I am very grateful.Severe chronic neck pain and headachesAlan Stark -
Nicolette Richardson (Gygi) from Richmond Osteopaths has been to my spine what Hermione was to Harry Potter's glasses. I had given up on ever being pain-free, but her warm expertise and passion for healing has worked wonders on my back. She is simply magical. I would strongly recommend Richmond Osteopaths and Nicolette Richardson. Mary Evans
