Richmond Physiotherapy

I have been attending therapy at Richmond Physio now for about three and an half years. I have used Richmond Physio as may main source of rehabilitation as I have recovered from several lower spinal surgeries (micro-discectomies) for two prolapsed discs.

The clinic itself is extremely well managed by Caroline Obergan. Appointments are made efficiently and with ease and with the newly implemented digital system, you now even receive a reminder email regarding your appointment. Caroline and her staff are always incredibly welcoming and very happy to hep you make any changes you need or answer any questions that arise. All the equipment is quite up to date and the work areas are kept clean and tidy.

In my time there, I have worked with a few therapists (due to vacations, scheduling, repatriation, etc.) and I can say that everyone I have met is not only well trained and experienced but also thoroughly dedicated to patient care.

Over the last two and an half years I have mainly worked with Bridget Burleigh for physiotherapy and Edel Casey for massage therapy.

As I have travelled my long road, Bridget has been the calm, knowledgeable and caring force that has steadfastly guided me to recovery. First and foremost, Bridget’s technical skill is highly impressive and difficult to match. It is reflective not only of her formal training but also of her depth of experience and her genuine passion for the industry. This, combined with her unwavering determination to improve your condition and quality of life and her natural affinity for patient care, produces an excellent quality of service and one that I value a great deal. She has always placed my well-being as the sole priority and has honestly guided me with the tempo of my rehab (when to reflect and slow things down a bit to allow healing and when to push forward hard). I feel very confident in her care.

Edel is the best massage therapist that I have ever encountered (and after 10 years of work, I have met many). Edel has a natural ability that to find the necessary pressure and trigger points that are causing your pain and challenging your recovery. I think that also what makes her unique is her desire to continue her Master-level education in the industry. This knowledge is continuously brought into her sessions and shared with her clients. She also happens to be a delightful person.

I contacted Pippa at Richmond Physiotherapy early January 2017 after my 11year old son snapped his ACL whilst skiing. She came highly recommended from friends. We were advised that he was an ideal candidate for a reasonably new procedure by Professor Adrien Wilson to repair his ACL. Pippa helped Charlie to prepare for the operation by building up his strength and mobility, keeping him engaged and motivated. She corresponded with the surgeon regularly and even watched the surgeon operate this relatively new procedure to reconnect the ligament. The support she offered throughout his recuperation was first class. My son visited Pippa regularly for six months as she devised exercises and games to rebuild his strength, balance and mobility whilst keeping him motivated. She contacted the head of games at school to keep them updated and get them onboard with his rehabilitation. The emotional support and encouragement as well as the physical therapy have been centre to the success of his operation and rehabilitation. My sons leg is now strong and stable and he is enjoying playing competitive sports again especially rugby. Thanks to Pippa’s guidance and support he no longer thinks about his knee. In fact the whole family has benefited from the advice from the Richmond Physiotherapists on and off the sports field and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the practice.

Pippa is an exceptional physiotherapist. She is kind and personable and makes you feel at ease. She is highly skilled and professional at all times and the enthusiasm she radiates for her work is incredibly motivating.
I have no hesitation in recommending Pippa

After surgery, my knee wasn't healing as well as expected and I was experiencing pain and irritation. Richmond Physiotherapy came highly recommended for their knowledge, experience and results. My physio Joe did an amazing job with my knee recovery.

I'd been having pain in my left knee for some time and it was becoming a problem to walk any distance. Joe made an assessment, and recommended a set of exercises which he reviewed and updated every two weeks. After a couple of months, the problem was completely resolved. Highly recommended

My doctor recommended Richmond Physiotherapy for my lower spine problems so I knew I would be in safe hands. After about 6 weeks and seeing them once a week I was beginning to regain easier movement. With ongoing occasional treatments and advice I remain pain free and much stronger. They are professional and reassuring and kind.

Being a very active family, we tend to hurt ourselves often. But we can always rely on the team of Richmond Physio to get us back into shape..... broken knees, MCL, broken shoulders, tendinitis, back pain, sciatica, you name it... special mention to Pippa who manages to fix me in spite of all odds against it! :-)
Love the team. Thank you.

As a client for several years, for various issues, I can highly recommend Richmond Physiotherapy for their treatment, advice and consideration. The dedicated team provide a very professional and personable service.
