Holt Richard

Richard is truly an expert in his field. I have a condition which affects my mobility that to date does not have a cure. After seeing many physios, chiropractors and osteopaths, Richard was the first and only person to work out what was needed to help with my mobility, sanity and quality of life. Richard has been sorting me out for two years now and has developed a programme of works to keep me on the move. We both have a sense of humour which helps in his line of business. Yes, a wonderful man who I cannot recommend highly enough,

My husband Michael was rushed to hospital in excruciating pain in his right shoulder blade after waking up one morning on the August 28th the orthopedic there could not do much for the pain other than morphine, which did not help.We were recommended to get in touch with Richard by some friends of ours who had had treatment which was successful. When Richard came off holiday we booked Michael in a few weeks later Michael said that for most of the session his muscles were manipulated front and back and then and only then he said his spine was eased back into position ( he heard four clicks). The pain in his shoulder eased somewhat that day and three days later pain gone. At each stage Richard let Michael know what he was doing and why. I am writing this review as I have got my husband back to his normal self. I recommend Richards expertise for anyone with similar muscular or skeletal ailments

I worked for 42 years in an office environment. I have experienced back problems for about 30 years. Richard has worked on my areas of weakness and restored me to good health in 6 weeks. He is amiable thorough and professional. I can thoroughly recommend him.

Richard is an excellent osteopath and gives a 5 star service. His diagnosis and subsequent treatment of my lower back pain and stiffness was spot on and I feel a lot better for it. Following 4 sessions with Richard my discomfort has gone and with his suggested exercises relieving my stiffness I am feeling far more comfortable.

My partner contacted Richard following a long-standing problem with neck pain as a result of an accident. Richard was able to diagnose where the problem was and after only 4 sessions had him pain free and no longer needing painkillers. If you have a problem we would certainly recommend that you contact Richard who will tell you if he thinks he can help.

Richard was recommended to my husband 7 years ago. I am so glad that he was. After struggling to find a solution for chronic back pain, Richard diagnosed the causes immediately and corrected them. He knows what is causing pain or discomfort just by how you stand and walk. His knowledge of anatomy and physiology is immense. Richard has treated several members of my family, and numerous friends, and we would all recommend him highly. He is a lovely genuine man, who makes you feel at ease. Thank you Richard.

Richard was recommended to me by a friend when I had been suffering with constant pain and loss of movement in my neck and shoulder. I’d reached the end of my tether with the pain stopping me from sleeping. Visits to my doctor were of no use. This friend is pretty much never happy with anything, especially if it costs money! His effusive recommendation was enough for me and, sitting here pain free and with full movement, my recommendation is equally effusive. Richard is extremely knowledgeable and professional and his diagnosis was spot on. The first visit eased the pain considerably and I was delighted to be able to look over my shoulder again! A further 3 visits have left me pain free, with full movement and a smile instead of a grimace. Richard takes a holistic view to his practice which is so important for prevention. Another plus is that his fascinating conversation is a good distraction when some of the highly beneficial and necessary manipulation gets a bit tough! I cannot recommend Richard highly enough and have already recommended him to two people. As if his talents know no bounds, Richard is also fully bilingual (French/English).

Arrived early March this year and during 'la confinement' I managed to injure myself. I experienced continuous and constant lower back and left hip pain. I assumed this related to an older injury and from all the sport I had played. After putting up with it for 5 weeks, I contacted Richard; a friend recommended him.Well I wish I had gone sooner! Richard not only diagnosed the source of injury as my right hip joint and right knee joint (double whammy as Richard put it) but fully explained why the pain was in another part of my body.Richard is extremely professional and explains all aspects of his treatment and preventative measures. His humour and raconteur is well needed when some of the treatment is more painful than discomfort.Throughout Covid he has maintained excellent hygiene standards as regulated. I am so pleased I have been treated by Richard, he has a holistic approach to treatment and has also helped advise me regarding posture for another condition. But most importantly he has ensured I am pain free again.I wholeheartedly recommend Richard.

My wife and I have both benefited greatly from Richard's expert attention during the last four weeks. A friend recommended that I saw Richard to address a constant leg and back pain. After four sessions all is well, and I feel 3 inches taller!. Wy wife has also had an ongoing shoulder issue greatly relieved. Richard comes highly recommended.

I had 2 recommendations to see Richard.I had a car accident 25 years ago and have spent a small fortune with MacTimoney Chiropractors, acupuncture, steroid injection, visits to several different healers etc. Nothing worked and I lived on heavy painkillers.I had 4 visits to Richard and he said that that should be enough! I was certainly improved.However, I decided to give myself time to see how I was. My last visit was about 8 weeks ago. I generally now only take painkillers first thing in the morning and don’t need them during the day. I have been able to start walking again and have been up to 2 miles! That in itself is a miracle for me.Thanks to Richard I am enjoying myself, I walk regularly, cycle and have started yoga again after many years of not being able to.I have my life back and am so very thankful for Richard’s treatment. He is a true professional.
