I saw Andre following a particularly painful back spasm. Andre was able to provide pain relief straight away for my back pain but also showed me a number of exercises to manage/prevent pain – some of which you can just about get away with doing in the office! I have always been terrified of osteopathy and acupuncture but I felt I could trust Andre due to his calm and reassuring manner and his explanation of the treatment and root causes of pain throughout – I am glad I did as I feel so much better. Thank you Andre.

I am in my mid 50s, live in Richmond and have had a minor back issue for over 30 years. This got significantly worse about 3 years ago and got to the point I could not fully function. For example, sitting was very uncomfortable, I had sleeping difficulties and getting a train was next to impossible… This seriously affected both my work and my personal life I went to a Richmond chiropractor for about 6 months and things did not improve (expect that was for the bank balance of the consultant). I then started going to Richmond Osteopaths and within a couple of weeks my back started to get better. Instead of just a couple of minutes with the a chiropractor I got 45 minutes of hands on treatment from Nicolette Richardson and a full follow up program of exercises/stretching that I could do myself. Today my back is so much better. Last weekend I helped my niece move flat – involving carrying lots of boxes up two flights of stairs. In my wildest dreams I would never have believed this could be possible 3 years ago. If you have a bad back you really should try Richmond Osteopaths and Nicolette Richardson.

Seriously, don’t put up with back and hip pains, it really isn’t worth it. I remember limping into my first visit with Nicolette Richardson (Gygi) (my daughter watched me struggling with hip and back problems caused by structural movement in my body, while I commented on how much better she was getting – used to get migraines frequently but with Nicky’s help they are few and far between) my daughter bought me a voucher and as I said above, limped into my appointment but from the first visit felt the benefits and now pain free. The best part of seeing Nicolette is her ability to diagnose body issues without the use of invasive X-rays. Don’t waste time suffering, book that appointment and look forward to being pain free.

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.

I have been a regular patient of Nicolette Richardson (Gygi) at Richmond Osteopaths as I have suffered with neck, shoulder, lower back pain and reduced mobility following a road traffic accident in 2001.
The symptoms have been exacerbated by a lack of exercise and a career in IT where I’m at my desk for hours at a time.
Nicky gets me moving and reduces my overall pain during each session.
Without her I would be in a terrible state!
I would highly recommend Nicolette Richardson to anyone for her professionalism, skill and also her fantastic personality!
Thanks Nicky!

I was referred to the clinic from my solicitor and medical agency after a road traffic accident I had over two years ago, damaging my right shoulder. I had been seen by other therapists on two separate occasions with no real progress. So I wasn’t really holding out much hope when I was offered more. I first met Karlee Simper in December. After going through a detailed history we got down to business. Karlee was very friendly and put me at ease. She was able to identify the source of my pain, explaining that most of the pain was coming from my neck. It took a few treatments to start seeing results but Karlee explained in a clear and professional way that after over two years of constant pain and restricted movement it was going to be a shock to the body. Even though sometimes she found pain I didn’t know I had I can’t believe how much Karlee has helped me. I have plenty of exercises to keep me busy. I know I still have a long way to go but I can’t thank Karlee Simper enough for all her help.

I can’t believe I put up with pain in my lower back and hips for so long and resisted suggestions to visit an Osteopath until I received a gift purchase for a treatment from my daughter. Since my first visit and seeing Nicolette Richardson I have gone from strength to strength receiving advice and reducing my pain in my lower back and hips. I would highly recommend Nicolette Richardson at Richmond Osteopaths.

Unfortunately for me I suffer with migraines and sports injuries but thanks to Nicolette Gygi at Richmond Osteopaths with her tender care and gentle torture, she is working wonders on putting me back together and giving me much needed pain relief! I would highly recommend Nicolette for any Neck, shoulder and back pain.

As a keen dancer range of motion and movement quality are of up most importance. Since seeing Nicolette Richardson my upper back and shoulders have felt much freer than they ever have before and my often painful, tight hip flexors are pain free. Nicolette is really friendly and I feel completely comfortable and relaxed during our sessions. I couldn’t recommend Nicolette Richardson more.

Suraj Mehta has healing hands! I was in so much pain that I could not turn my head, neck and shoulders. Everything was tight and stiff and I was in complete agony. I have my own business and its really important that I can work and keep fit and active. After just one session with Suraj I felt like a new person. Thank-you.

I’ve had a number of back injuries over the years including slipped disc, a car accident that caused problems and rugby twists and tears. More recently a ruptured shoulder tendon that took me out of action for 6 months. The upshot has been chronic back pain and problems with the end result of my right arm experiencing pins and needles and my mid back locking up. I went to see Nicolette based upon recommendation (always a good start) and she set to work on releasing and mobilising my back with a combination of soft tissue and gentle manipulation. I was pleased to see an immediate improvement and Nicolette is the first person I’ve seen over the years to really get into the deep tissue and give me some real relief. I would highly recommend her and Richmond Osteopaths.
