I came to see Richard after seeing many specialist including Physios and Chiropractors to relieve the pain I had in my neck and shoulders. This had stopped me sleeping properly due to the pain I had at night and I had also been taking pain relief for many months. After the very first session I noticed an immediate and significant decrease in pain and Richard explained that I had trigger points in the area which had been causing the issue. Another subsequent appointment reduced that further an meant that I was now able to stop taking pain relief, for the first time in a long while. I just wish I’d come to see him earlier!Ray - Bishop's Stortford
I saw Richard recently having suffered with a shoulder problem for a few weeks which was affecting my ability to exercise. He was very professional and informative, and thankfully after one appointment and having followed his aftercare advice the discomfort I was experiencing has completely gone. Would highly recommend.Helen L, Manuden
I highly recommend Rick for the services and advice he offers. Rick clearly knows his stuff and always gets to the root of the problem, he solves any injury and niggle I pick up through weight training. Every single session, Rick quickly reduces pain using various techniques, offers advice on managing injuries as well as showing me injury specific rehabilitation exercises to get me back to full strength.J Blackwell, Elsenham
After months of discomfort from a build up of stress and tension in my upper back, shoulders and neck in particular, Richard was recommended to me. Well qualified and knowledgeable in his field, and very professional in his initial and ongoing assessment and any advice given. 80-90% improvement after only 3 sessions. Will continue with regular sessions for maintenance. Highly recommend.J Henderson, Bishop's Stortford
I’ve been visiting Richard on pretty much a weekly basis for nearly two years. I initially saw him due to regularly tearing my calf muscles playing sport. Having seen a number of physiotherapists, Richard was the first person to correctly diagnose the issue and rectify it. Richard is very knowledgeable and professional - would highly recommend him. However, don’t all use him as I won’t be able to get an appointment!

Richard is an invaluable massage therapist working with the Bishops Stortford Rugby 1st Team. Playing in the extremely physical National league 2, his expertise and clear command in applying his varied massage techniques combined with a detailed knowledge of anatomy, posture, sporting requirements and the understanding of what our players require have undoubtedly helped our players recover from and prevent many injuries. Discussing many issues with him, Richard regularly demonstrates a rare depth of knowledge and understanding which, entwined with his very likeable and trustworthy personality, mean I cannot recommend Richard highly enough to anybody, for any aspects of pre, post or preventing an injury.

I saw Richard as I was suffering with painful symptoms of sciatica. Very quickly he diagnosed that I didn’t have sciatica but something called Piriformis syndrome. He quickly reduced my symptoms and pain using various techniques and gave me some good advice/exercises to stop it coming back again. He was very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him.

I’ve used Richard for a number of years pretty much every week. He is very knowledgeable and professional with respect to any issues I might have be it an injury or another non-injury issue.
He is also great for preventive treatments, which has definitely cut down potential injuries.
I couldn’t recommend him enough.

If you have any sort of muscular injury or issue then I’d highly recommend sports therapy, and Richard’s been my therapist for two years and he’s been excellent. I’m an amateur runner, plus some weight training. I schedule a monthly “maintenance” session because I’m often picking up little niggles and so in any given month there will be something to work on. In fact, some months I think I’m all fine but Richard will discover some tightness or trigger point I didn’t even realise was there!Andy R, Bishop's Stortford
Richard is a very skilled sports massage therapist who has great knowledge, providing treatments that are exactly what's needed regardless of age, walk of life or sporting ability. I would recommend Richard to any one of my patients. Tom Kopelman - Physiotherapist (Tottenham Hotspur 1st XI)
I came to see Richard due to a long standing back issue which was stopping me playing golf as often as I’d have liked. I am retired so playing frequently is important to me. Richard found the problem quickly and had resolved it within a couple of sessions. I now see him on a weekly basis in order to stay injury free and would thoroughly recommend his services to anyone looking for pain relief from muscular injury.

I found Richard via LinkedIn and glad I did. Tried Chiropractor and gave up. Have found his treatments are helping me alot. Honest and thorough and explains everything he will do. So if you are struggling to move, have muscle pain etc I would thoroughly recommend Richard's services.

I highly recommend Richard to anyone suffering with neck or back pain. As well as a sports massage that got rid of my knots, Richard taught me about my hunched posture and gave me lots of stretches and exercises to remedy it. I now sit up straight at my desk and the pain has not returned. Thank you so much.

I went to Richard to see if he could improve the limited movement I had in my shoulder, caused by an accident last year. I also wanted him take a look at my posture which needed some work after years in a sedentary office based job. He assessed this and treated me accordingly. I noticed considerable improvement after only a few sessions and I now have greater freedom of movement as well a significant reduction in lower back pain. Richard is both professional and personable and I have already recommended him to my friends and will continue to do so.
