Richmond Physiotherapy Testimonials

Just a quick note to say thank you so much for the miracle you worked on my back! When I arrived weepily to see you 2 weeks ago, little did I expect that I would be completely better by bow! I have my dream holiday coming up in a few weeks and was worried it would be ruined so I really owe you a debt of gratitude for fixing me!

Certainly the staff we had dealings with have been most professional and courteous. Physio and deep tissue massage have been excellent.

As a lady of a certain age, practically 68 years old, following a serious fall I was introduced to Richmond Physiotherapy by my daughter. Bridget very quickly assessed my injuries, worked on my shoulder, neck and back, gave me exercises and put me out of pain!!

How fortunate that I came to Bridget who was sympathetic, full of encouragement and sensible advice. Mille fois merci.

Excellent help on rehab of my knee . Care went a lot futher than just physio, with advice on fitness and wellbeing. Would not hesitate to recommend .

I was recently treated by Brad over a period of 2 months for a SLAP tear in the shoulder. A consultant diagnosis recommended physiotherapy. Brad was excellent at the explaination of the problem and at recommending exercises in order to be able to return to triathlon training and events. (I had previous visits to a chiropractor which did not resolve the issue).
Weekly visits to the clinic were follow up with very clear exercise sets sent via email with videos to watch which re-enforced Brad's demonstrations.
I'm now in shape to train again without any need to go near a surgeons knife. Thanks Brad.

My surgeon told me that the prompt referral from my physiotherapist, Brad Robinson, probably saved my hip. The correct diagnosis was originally missed by a hospital A&E department.



I stopped one hundred metres from the finish of a half marathon with a pain in my hip/groin area, I was unable to walk. The St. John's ambulance took me to the local A&E where I was diagnosed (without an X-ray) with a groin strain. I was released on crutches.



Three days later I arranged an appointment with Brad Robinson. He very quickly diagnosed a likely stress fracture of the neck of my femur. He advised that I visit another hospital to obtain an X-ray. Brad took the time to write to the hospital with this letter, the X-ray confirmed Brad's diagnosis. The next day I was operated on and had a dynamic hip screw inserted. The surgeon said that Brad's prompt action probably saved my hip as it prevented a potentially 'catastrophic' displacement. Brad is now helping me with my recovery physiotherapy and I am making excellent progress.



I shall always be immensely grateful to Brad for his actions, based on my experience, I would not have any hesitation in recommending him to others.

I really recommend Richmond Physiotherapy. I have been going for number of years and have always found them friendly and professional. I particularly appreciate their approach of aiming to fix your problems quickly so that you don’t have to go back – it is nice to feel that they are on your side and not treating you as an opportunity to print money.

I had a bad whiplash neck injury as a child and for many years was taken to a variety of physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths and sports injury specialists to try to improve the pain I was suffering. Kate Sheehy was the first to resolve the pain in my neck, and is now the only physiotherapist I will visit. I did try others for a time when I wasn't living in the area, but none compared. I therefore used to travel from Central London to see her. More recently I have received some massage therapy from Yoshika, who is also fabulous. The combination of Kate and Yoshika completely keep my neck problems at bay.



I cannot recommend the team at Richmond Physiotherapy highly enough!

I attended Richmond Physiotheraphy with chronic back and neck pain problems. The treatment that I received from Kate Sheehy was absolutely world class. Kate has built an outstanding practice with like minded professionals. Having lived in the UK, USA and Australia I can confidently say that Kate is one of the elite physios internationally.

Marika, Just a short note to thank you so much for all your help with the rehab following my ACL. I found you very professional with excellent communication, both with Mr. Haddad (Consultant) and Sam (Personal Trainer) and you definitely motivated me to get on with the "homework"! I'm sure that my knee would have been much slower to recover but for your excellent help. All the best.

After knee surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL, Richmond Physiotherapy organised intensive therapy to rehabilitate the knee. Having worked with Kate Sheehy before I knee that they would be the only practice I would trust with recovery. Kate and Marika Feddema not only provided accurate therapy that rehabilitated my knee, but importantly managed my expectations and enthuiasm to continue working on the knee, when at times, the process of recovery was slow and sometimes painful. I cannot thank them enough for ensuring I remained positive througout the programme. The smallest of improvements were celebrated. Any sort of trauma is personally felt, having trust in Kate and Marika made the 4 month rehabilitation a success and for that I am indebted to them. My recommendation not only covers their professionalism but also their patient relations.

I was born with fused discs in my neck which only became apparent during my 20s. When I came to the UK, I searched for years to find a physio who could treat the pain and swelling successfully and enable me to live normally. From the first visit, Kate Sheey demonstrated a total understanding of the problem and even better, knew how to resolve it. Iʼve been back to normal since her treatment! Recently, I also had major surgery on my left foot and again, her experience was critical in getting me moble very quickly and back to work.

I have been extremely impressed with Richmond Physiotherapy for many reasons in particular Kate Sheehy who has helped me immensely through various injuries and with her excellent advice and recommendations. In particular suggesting I see Beatrix Bevernage for manual lymphatic drainage, Beatrix is absolutely amazing and you know that you are in very expert hands, a truly amazing treatment, which helps many conditions.

I was a dentist for over 40 years and like many dentists I have back, shoulder and hand problems. Following my doctorʼs recommendation, I first consulted Kate Sheehy in 1991 and it is thanks to her specialised knowledge, advice and professional expertise that I am able to enjoy an active life style and live in a third floor flat without a lift.

I was very pleased when Kate Sheehy established Richmond Physiotherapy in 1995. The well qualified members of this highly professional practive use their particular skils to meet the special needs of their patients. I have received such excellent care that I have no hesitation in recommending Richmond Physiotherapy.

Thanks to topclass treatment of joint and muscle problems from time to time, my wife and I, (both hovering around 80), have been enabled to continue leading enjoyably active lives The hallmarks of Richmond Physiotherapy are personalised attention in an ethos of calm and friendly professionalism. Nothing is imposed, mystified or protracted beyond what is beneficial to oneʼs particular condition, and all aspects of its diagnosis and treatment are fully explained in a one-to-one relationship. Results can exceed expectation - in my own case, a painfully arthritic knee, for which elsewhere surgery was thought inevitable, is now no bother to me - a result typically of much mutual satisfaction.
