Chelmsford Osteopathy Clinic: Reviews

5/5 (151 Reviews)
Catie Higgins Published on Google 1 month ago

Fantastic experience: I have had two sessions with John, and when talking through my injury, he helped me understand different reasons and issues around my injury, and anything historical that may have contributed to it. He also gave me a list of exercises to help rebuild and strengthen my weak areas, which has really helped. I walked away with a better understanding of my injury, and going forward what I need to do to prevent it happening again. A lot of what John said during our sessions stuck with me, and the importance of going to see an osteopath when something doesn't feel quite right! Would definitely re-book and recommend to anyone in the Chelmsford area.

Fantastic experience: John is attentive and highly professional practitioner. At my first and subsequent visits he takes time to understand my concerns and explain everything clearly. John's approach is gentle but very effective. I came with a lot of pain in the back and already after the first session I noticed a significant difference. I have had a lot of work on my back done in the past couple of years, but I found John's approach particularly helpful! At the end of each session I am also provided with stretches and exercises to do at home and I very much appreciate John following up a few days later to see how I progress, which makes me feel reassured. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone with back issues.

David Gethin Published on Google 1 month ago

Fantastic experience: I recently visited John at Chelmsford Osteopathy Clinic following a lumbar spine injury that left me in significant discomfort, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care I’ve received. My last experience with an osteopath was back in 2012, and he truly worked wonders—so John had some big shoes to fill. I’m happy to say he absolutely lived up to expectations. From the initial consultation, John was thorough, knowledgeable, and took the time to really understand my issue. His manner immediately put me at ease, and the treatment so far has been incredibly effective. After just two visits, I’m already feeling a huge improvement, and I believe I may only need one more session. Hopefully I won’t need to return—but if I do, I know I’ll be in excellent hands! I won’t hesitate to recommend John to family, friends, or anyone in need of first-class osteopathic care. Thanks a million, John!

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience at Chelmsford Osteopathy Clinic with John. From the moment I arrived he was welcoming, professional and genuinely interested in getting to know me as a person, not just focusing on my hamstring injury. He took the time to really understand what was going on, explained everything clearly and made me feel completely at ease throughout the appointment. The treatment itself helped tremendously and I left feeling much better and far more confident about recovery and what my body needs. I can’t recommend John highly enough, a brilliant practitioner who truly cares about his patients. Thank you again! ☺️

Chris Warburton Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have only been seeing John for a few weeks but he has helped me massively in that time. I have had pain in my lower back for years and have had just about every non-surgical intervention - John has, in a relatively short time, made me think about the pain in a different way and with a mix of manipulation, exercises and some improvements to my relationship with the pain... I am starting to at least see some light at the end of the tunnel. I would recommend John's services to anyone in pain but especially to anyone that has suffered with chronic pain. Thanks John.

So keep following the exercises and advice and I look forward to seeing you soon ..

Fantastic experience: I've had a great experience with John. From the very first phone call, he was incredibly kind, professional, and easy to talk to - I felt he really took the time to understand my experiences and history. His holistic approach, thoughtful and positive manner ensured I felt I was in good hands, in a safe space and listened to. The treatments themselves were careful and tailored and impactful and he also gave me clear exercises to easily do at home. I would happily recommend John!

Celine Mallett Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: After a couple of weeks of lower back pain caused by a gym injury, I decided to seek help from John after a friend recommended him to me. After a very thorough medical history review, John manipulated my back and gave me some targeted exercises to do at home. John followed up with me a couple of days after my visit and my lower back pain eased off quickly and I was able to return to my normal exercise routine. I would highly recommend him if you need to visit an osteopath.

Will Sargeant Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: John’s been brilliant at helping me get back on track after a back niggle that had been hanging around for ages. From the first session he actually listened, explained what was going on in normal language, and put together a plan that felt like it was for me, not just a standard routine. The mix of hands‑on treatment and simple exercises has made a big difference, and my back feels so much better day to day. I’m moving more easily now and feel a lot more confident about keeping on top of it myself between appointments. He’s also really relaxed and not pushy at all – there’s no hard sell on booking endless sessions, and he’s clear that you don’t need to keep coming if you’re doing well and can manage things yourself.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend John highly enough - his approach and overall service are 10/10. I brought a block of sessions for my dad, who has been experiencing chronic pain in his shoulder for 10+ years (and is notoriously difficult to buy presents for!), and from the off John has made an impact. My dad is no longer waking up in pain, and he has a practical and pragmatic programme that is tailored to him. John has kept me up to date on my dad’s progress every step of the way - his communication is excellent. Go and see John!

Fantastic experience: Having complex health issues I felt worried trying a new osteo. John is amazing. He completely put me at ease and guided me through his recommended treatment, checking constantly if I was comfortable. Following my first gentle treatment I felt an improvement in mind and body. I then received an exercise plan to continue at home and follow up contact to check how I was feeling following the treatment and my progress with the exercises given. This enabled Jon to adjust my next treatment. Finding Jon is a game changer for me. He is totally committed to improving and maintaining patient health. I will definitely continue to include John’s holistic osteo in my fitness and health regime.

Fantastic experience: I've seen John a few times now following a hip replacement operation. He is an extremely kind and patient man who is genuinely concerned with your whole wellbeing. The treatment given is personalised rather than a "one size fits all" approach that is taken by so many. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and checks in with you in between appointments. I can't recommend John highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing John for over two years now for my arthritis, and after experiencing treatment from various osteopaths over the years, sessions with him produce by far the most positive and comparatively long-lasting effect - I know I can't expect to be pain-free. John is thorough, empathetic and allows plenty of time for your treatment. His newsletters are interesting too, and further demonstrate how committed he is to what he does.

Fantastic experience: After visiting physiotherapist's and 2 hip injections I was recommended to see an Osteopath. John came recommended and after seeing him over several weeks I would back up that recommendation. He is very good at listening and understanding the problem. After a few sessions and targeted exercises I am in a much better place, the reality is I should have visited John first. I would not hesitate to recommend John to friends and family should the need arise.

John is not only highly skilled in his work as an osteopath, but he also brings a warm, friendly approach that instantly puts you at ease. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and well looked after. John takes the time to listen, thoroughly assess your concerns, and explain everything clearly. His treatments are effective, and I noticed real improvements after just a few sessions. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, an injury, or just in need of some general realignment, I’d highly recommend paying John a visit.

Fantastic experience: I visited John earlier this year, having suffered Sciatica type symptoms for many years. I have visited many practitioners, without any real improvement and have lost countless hours of sleep and many work days due to the constant pain. Within two treatments, I was experiencing much less discomfort, and greater mobility. Additional exercises were provided for me to do between after a further three treatments, the pain had subsided. I have continued to do the exercises and stretches every day, and three months later I am still pain free. John made me feel at ease from the first appointment and I cannot thank him enough for the help he has given me. I would recommend anyone experiencing muscular or joint pain to visit John

After I saw John for the first time just over a week ago when I hobbled into his treatment room hardly able to move after just one treatment I was able to walk more freely, and have had another 2 since to really try and sort it my back issues out once and for all.

Fantastic experience: After seeing different physiotherapists, chiropractors, etc. over the last few years with limited success, I decided to try Osteopathy for the first time and after reading John's reviews on line, I booked an appointment. Like everyone else I found John to be kind and patient and he really takes the time to fully listen to you to understand your issues. I have only had three sessions so far but I am definitely starting to feel some improvement. The gentle manual manipulation and the specific exercises which come with an easy to follow video work really well. I would definitely recommend John.

Brooke Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of visiting Chelmsford Osteopathy Clinic and was treated by John — and I can honestly say the experience was exceptional from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The clinic itself is clean, calming, and professionally run, but it was John’s expertise and genuine care that truly stood out. John took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, thoroughly assessed my condition, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. His approach was both professional and compassionate, and I felt completely confident in his hands. After a consultation and two further sessions, I have noticed a significant improvement in my mobility and a reduction in pain that I had been struggling with for a number of weeks. What really impressed me was John’s holistic approach — he didn’t just treat the symptoms, but looked at the bigger picture to help prevent future issues. He also provided helpful advice on posture, exercises, and lifestyle adjustments that have made a real difference. If you’re looking for an osteopath in Chelmsford who is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely cares about your well-being, I can’t recommend John highly enough. He’s a true professional and a credit to the clinic.

Fantastic experience: I came to see John because I’d been feeling a lot of tightness in my neck and shoulders, which had been troubling me for some time. After just one session, I noticed a big difference, and by the second session, the “neck hump” I’d been concerned about had gone. John also gave me exercises to do at home to help relieve tension in those areas. He also worked on my lower back and knees, where I often experience pain, and provided targeted exercises for those too. I’m now feeling much looser and more comfortable in my back

Fantastic experience: I am 65 and have spent most of my working life in the building industry. I have suffered lower back pain for over 11 years and have tried many different treatments during that time, with only moderate success. From my first visit, I felt confident that I was in good hands. John took time to understand my condition and explained himself clearly and concisely when discussing treatment and exercises in between. After only three visits, and interim exercises provided by John, I have been able to return to work after six weeks off. The pain is substantially reduced, and the tingling sensations, that I was experiencing in my arms and legs at night, have subsided. I am now confident that, with the help of John, I will soon be pain free He exudes a real passion for his work, has a genuinely warm and friendly personality and makes you feel really comfortable during the treatment process - I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending his services.

Fantastic experience: I had a ski trip coming up when only two weeks before my lower back went tying my shoe laces. Concerned I might have to miss the trip altogether, John got to work on some manoeuvres and sent me away with a clear guide of exercises I had to get through on my own. I appreciated his informative approach; he’s a guy that knows what he’s talking about and is able to take the complex and it make it simple. Really pleased to say that my injury did not hinder the trip at all and I was able to enjoy five full days of skiing with no issue. Appreciate the support, John!! Tom

Over the years I’ve seen a number of different osteopaths but John is different. What I appreciate and love the most is the time he gave me to really understand my issues and what was going on, not had that to this extent with other people. There was no rushing into it, he goes way beyond what you expect to get. He’s big time helped me and I’ll certainly be seeing him regularly from now on. Genuinely couldn’t recommend him enough.

He took time to get to know me and completed a very in depth consultation before providing the treatment. Thankyou I will be back for more sessions.

Fantastic experience: My first experience with Osteopathy was fantastic, I was seen by the doctor, and the hospital was offered nothing but painkillers after suffering for 12 weeks of lower back and hip pain (sciatica) Seeing John from Chelmsford Osteopathy Clinic has given me back great movement in both. The pain relief has been amazing. i have a lot more range of movement, and this is without strong medication. John, as a practitioner, is so passionate about fixing you that he goes above and beyond expectations. I would highly recommend John he has changed my suffering in just 4 sessions. It's definitely a 5-star service and rating any day A very satisfied customer and still am Nick Burt

Fantastic experience: After just 2 sessions, John has managed to get me out of suffering with quite severe neck pain and greatly improve the range of motion from about 30% to 90%! This is all within a week! I’ve seen other osteopaths and chiropractors in Chelmsford and around Essex before, but John’s approach is refreshingly different. Unlike some other practitioners who keep you on a lengthy treatment plan (8 to 12 sessions minimum), John is all about getting you pain-free as quickly as possible. His business model prioritises your well-being and your wallet, aiming for fewer sessions. It’s clear he’s genuinely focused on helping you, not on keeping you coming back unnecessarily and he's an all round decent bloke. His level of honesty seems rare nowadays, and why I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for back and neck treatment in Chelmsford or Essex. Thanks again, John—10/10 from me mate

Hi Mike,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this very kind and positive review. It means a lot to a small local business such as mine.

It's also really pleasing to hear that not only has your neck pain eased so quickly, but you have also found my approach somewhat refreshing.

I genuinely believe in focusing on what each person needs, and I try to make the whole experience not only engaging, but when my patients leave, they feel somewhat clearer in what's going on and how these issues can be addressed.

It's also important that in this current environment where GP and hospital appointments can be so difficult to get, that all patients are given the time and space they deserve.

Many thanks again for the recommendation and I look forward to seeing you soon

All the best,

John

Fantastic experience: John is absolutely fantastic! I was in a lot of pain, and he so kindly fit me in at the last minute. He really took the time to listen to all my concerns and thoroughly went through everything to get to the root of the problem. He explained everything so clearly and was incredibly knowledgeable. The session was not only effective but also genuinely enjoyable because he's such a lovely person. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: John is very professional and takes time to ensure you get personalised treatment for your problem. I went to see John with my extremely painful frozen shoulder and he has quickly improved things so I can now carry out tasks which have been impossible for months. John’s service is a great asset to our City.

Fantastic experience: I recently visited Chelmsford Osteopathy Clinic for a back injury that had been bothering me for weeks, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care I received. From the moment I walked in, John made me feel welcome and comfortable. The clinic itself is clean, well-organized, and has a calming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. My initial consultation was thorough and informative. John took the time to understand my symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle, which I really appreciated. He explained the treatment plan clearly and answered all my questions, ensuring I felt confident in the approach we were taking. Throughout my treatment sessions, I was impressed by John’s professionalism and expertise. The techniques used were tailored specifically to address my back pain, and I noticed significant improvement after just a few sessions. John also provided me with useful exercises and tips for maintaining my back health at home, which has been incredibly helpful. Overall, the care I received at Chelmsford Osteopathy Clinic has been outstanding. The combination of expert treatment, personalized care, and a supportive environment has made a real difference in my recovery. If you’re dealing with a back injury or any other musculoskeletal issues, I highly recommend this clinic. John genuinely cares about his patients and is committed to delivering effective results.

Fantastic experience: John was recommended to me by my sister due to the incredible help he has provided her. John is incredibly thorough and gives you so much of his time, going above and beyond. John ensures to build a full picture and then uses his expert knowledge and experience to explain what could be happening and suggests exercises and a plan to move forward. John is incredibly kind, professional and dedicated to helping you to achieve your goals. Could not recommend more!
