Testimonials
I recently completed a series of physio sessions at Richmond Physiotherapy for my shoulder and I could not have been more impressed. Everyone was very friendly and professional and the care I was given was excellent. Brad understood my shoulder condition exactly and he carefully explained it to me which I appreciated very much. He recommended the best stretches and exercises which have now stablised the shoulder and removed the pain. Thank you Richmond Physiotherapy!

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 have been treated for knee and ligament pains by Yoshiko at Richmond Physiotherapy over several months. She came highly recommended to me by a physiotherapist. She achieves outstanding results with little pain and her methods proved highly effective compared with other sports massage therapists and priced very competitively.
Richard G February 2010
Just like to thank Brad at Richmond Physio for treating my tennis injuries. Brad was very knowledgeable and was able to pinpoint exactly the therapy I needed to get me back to playing full strength. I look forward to tennis without nurofen in the future.

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 Yoshiko, who is also fabulous. The combination of Kate and Yoshiko completely keep my neck problems at bay. I cannot recommend the team at Richmond Physiotherapy highly enough!

Richmond Physiotherapy is a world class practice led by Kate Sheehy. I attended Kate with chronic neck and back problems which she resolved. Having had treatment in Australia, UK and USA, I can confidently say that Kate Sheehy belongs to the international elite of physiotherapists. For those that despair that their back will never get better this is the practice for you!

I would highly recommend Richmond Physiotherapy, whose first class services I discovered a few years ago, following a total knee replacement. After a recent fall injuring my shoulder and other knee I didn’t hesitate to return, even though we have now moved to Haslemere . I was treated by Bridget Burleigh, who is brilliant. I have been so impressed by her professionalism, dedication and expertise. Her treatment was excellent. My shoulder is now completely recovered and my knee so much better that I can even run. Very many thanks to Richmond Physiotherapy and most especially to Bridget.

I feel privileged to have been treated by Edel over the past four months. She is an incredibly knowledgeable and gifted masseuse who immediately gets to the crux of any problem. Her effervescent personality and great sense of humour has meant that any hour of potential torturous pain has passed by all too quickly. Sarah B September 2009
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 knew 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.

Following a broken leg in December 2004, which resulted in my leg being pinned, a friend recommended I attend Richmond Physiotherapy. Kate Sheehy managed my recovery plan and did such a good job that I was back on my feet and off crutches much earlier than expected. Indeed when I returned to my consultant four weeks after the operation he was so amazed at my progress that he took Kate’s details so that he would be able to recommend future patients. As with most things in life a “word of mouth” recommendation is worth far more than finding something in the yellow pages. Bearing this in mind I can honestly say I couldn’t recommend Richmond Physiotherapy highly enough. Their care and attention is second to none, but they also manage to get the best result in the speediest of time frames.

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. I’ve 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 mobile very quickly and back to work.
Moya M October 2008
I have had numerous operations and problems with my right knee and was looking to find a physio who would provide me with good advice and rehab exercises. At Richmond Physio I have received excellent treatment from Pippa Rollitt; she devised a programme of exercises that have helped me to steadily strengthen the right knee and get back to enjoying a reasonably active lifestyle. I have been most impressed by Richmond Physio and in particular the quality of their advice, providing long term solutions and their friendly caring aproach.
Andrea W September 2008
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. Tracey B September 2008
In 2006 I was referred to Pippa Rollitt at Richmond Physiotherapy to correct a shoulder problem which I had had for several years and which a range of previous “experts” had failed to identify correctly and cure. Pippa quickly ascertained that surgery would be required before any cure was possible. Her prognosis was correct and I duly under-went surgery. After the operation the required physiotherapy was administered by Pippa and after several months treatment full, pain free, mobility was achieved. Incredibly during 2007 the same problem, with a bicep complication, occurred in the other shoulder/arm and again, after the operation, the treatment was given by Pippa. Full pain free movement was again achieved. My observations of Richmond Physiotherapy are simply that the organisation is totally honest in their problem diagnosis and caring and very professional in the cure application. I am thus happy to recommend their services to others.

I was a dentist for over 40 years and like many dentists I have back, shoulder and hand problems. Following my doctor’s 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.

Richmond Physio as a team are efficient, professional and collaborative. Kate Sheehy who has been working with me to solve a long term back issue, is encouraging, straight talking and emphasises that solving the problem is possible, provided there is mutual commitment. I’ve committed to my part of the contract…and she has done an amazing job at both solving for the ‘now’ and preventing for the future. Richmond Physio have solved, motivated and educated…. Brilliant!
Simone E September 2008
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 one’s 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.

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.

“If you are needing good physiotherapy - treatment or advice - go to Richmond Physiotherapy. I have had three operations on my right knee over the years and endless physio treatment as a result but none as good as that given by Euan Nelson at this practice. Thanks to his patient attention and sage advise I am still able to play weekly tennis - and I am already in sight of my eightieth birthday!!”
