Fantastic experience: I was able to get an appointment straight away following severe lower back pain. Rob has been brilliant, and after just 1 session eradicated the pain almost completely. After a couple more sessions I felt back to normal, and could not recommend him enough. I have felt listened to throughout, and Rob really takes the time to explain the problem and how to fix it. He knows his stuff...if there was a 6th star I would click it!

Fantastic experience: I recently visited Chelmsford osteopathic practice for lower back pain. Rob was incredibly friendly and attentive, taking the time to understand my pain and background thoroughly. He provided clear, thoughtful advice and guidance, which not only helped me understand my condition better but also offered practical steps I could take to relieve and manage my pain moving forward. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking professional approach to pain management and overall wellness.
Fantastic experience: Rob really helped my lower back and hip pain which I’d been suffering with in late pregnancy and had got worse after childbirth. I was pretty much cured with one session and after the next two I’ve had very little pain despite still breastfeeding and having a toddler to run around after. I’m so glad I didn’t leave my back to get worse and that I found Rob to sort the problem out!
Fantastic experience: I recently received excellent care from Rob and would highly recommend him to anyone in the Essex area. He was professional, reassuring, and provided great assistance from the beginning to the end. I highly recommend his services, especially if you are dealing with back pain. I have noticed a significant improvement in my condition and will definitely be returning for follow-up appointments.
Fantastic experience: Rob was great, after only one session I had instant pain relief. Will be going back for more sessions.
Fantastic experience: I contacted Rob a few weeks ago to see if he could help my teenage daughter who had developed worsening pain in her neck and back following a sports related fall. Rob has made her feel at ease with his professional, friendly manner and we have seen a huge improvement with both her pain and posture in just 3 sessions. Even after her first appointment she was moving much more easily. Rob took great care to understand the exact nature of her fall, pinpointed the areas of concern and began her treatment pathway immediately. I would not hesitate in recommending Rob to anyone searching for highly knowledgeable, effective and professional treatment.
Fantastic experience: I’ve just returned from my first appointment with Rob and I am very impressed with his service. He is responsive to messages and the booking process was very easy. I was also made to feel very comfortable throughout my appointment and he really listened to my issues. I’d highly recommend if you’re looking for an osteopath!
Fantastic experience: First ever visit to an osteopath and was made to feel really at ease. Very knowledgeable and considerate. Booked in for another session as I can already feel the benefit
Fantastic experience: Rob has been successfully treating my tennis elbow and I have been impressed by his level of knowledge and holistic approach. With his professional and friendly manner, I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
Fantastic experience: Rob has done a great job improving my quality of life after I suffered lower back pain and sciatica. He rapidly put me at ease during our sessions and explained the issues affecting me. He has also been available to provide useful advice as I try to get back into a regular exercise routine.

Fantastic experience: Rob has been great in getting a long term shoulder and upper back issues I was experiencing by also improving my posture.
Fantastic experience: First time seeing Rob, he was very friendly and welcoming. He definitely knows his stuff and it's worth the money. Going again next week for second session.
Fantastic experience: Rob was recommended to me by a work colleague and I am more than happy to pass that recommendation on. He asks the appropriate questions to understand your issue and then reviews and updates your treatment at each appointment. From a non-clinical perspective his processes are very effective i.e. e-mailed appointment confirmations and reminders 24 hours in advance. Excellent!
Fantastic experience: I went to Rob pretty much as a last resort due to ongoing issues with my back and shoulder. After four treatments I finally feel as good as new! I can’t praise Rob high enough. Thoroughly recommend to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Having suffered with scoliosis since childhood, I didn’t expect to find an osteopath that would be able to help ease my constant back pain. My daughter who is also treated by Rob was actually the one who recommended I try him & I’m so glad she did. I already feel like my movement is easier & my posture is improving. I never feel pressured to make more appointments and Rob is very honest with what he may/may not be able to achieve through his work. Fantastic osteopath & put me at ease instantly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant!!! Rob is so knowledgeable. Any issue I've ever gone to him about he knows exactly what it is and explains it to me so I understand what's going on. He is very welcoming and puts you at ease. I can honestly say I would not go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: I was instantly impressed with Rob, so professional and explained everything to me before and during treatment. After trying Chiropractic clinics and sports massage with no improvement, I finally feel as if my back problem is being properly treated and I’m not being pushed into more treatments than I need.

As i gained more movement Rob would listen to me and work on the areas where i wanted to restore my flexibility. Now fully recovered. My whole family is above average height and all go to Rob when they need treatment.
Fantastic experience: Excellent response to my emergency phone call, gave great advise over the phone and managed to fit me in for an in person consultation the next day. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I felt so much better even after my first session with Rob, he was really thorough and the premises are lovely. I particularly appreciated having the causes of certain problems explained to me, which I haven't experienced elsewhere in the past.

Fantastic experience: Visited Chelmsford Osteopathic Practice recently and am so happy I did! Been to Dr’s on numerous occasions and seem to get nowhere. I get fobbed off with pills.

Thanks so much for helping me get back to normality!!!!
Thank you for the review and I'm so glad that we could help!
Fantastic experience: Mr Shaw was highly recommended to me by my son, who had previously made use of his services. After one session my back and hip pain was virtually a thing of the past! I cannot speak highly enough of his knowledge and ability. Coupled with that was his location, close to the heart of Chelmsford but with extremely handy parking facilities, thus easily accessible!
Thank you for such a positive review and I'm so glad that Chelmsford Osteopathic Practice could help you and your son.

Fantastic experience: Excellent Service! I have been to a number of osteo's/physios and I would no longer go to any one else but Rob.

Hi Ryan and thanks for the review. I'm also glad that we can keep you running those Marathons!!!
Fantastic experience: I have no hesitation in recommending Chelmsford Osteo Practice. I've been a client of Rob's for about five years. I've seen him for various back, neck and shoulder problems over this time - hazards of working an office job! I always feel better after an appointment. Rob is professional, informative and friendly. He really understands how the human body works and gives clear explanations & advice. The clinic is really close to the town centre, and also has off road parking. It's easy to contact them - phone, text or email. If they can't answer the phone, they always calls back. I like that they email appointment confirmations, including an appointment file which you can add it to your calendar. Highly recommended.
