Back Pain Solutions

Fantastic experience: I had suffered with back pain for years, but had just put up with it, thinking it was just the way things were for me. But then a friend had been to see Adam with great results so I thought - actually I’m not that old at 58 so why do I feel like 88 ? And decided to book in with Adam. Adam identified my problems in the initial consultation and then worked with me to alleviate the pain and come up with a plan to keep my pain in check and proactively work towards zero pain. I now have a far better understanding of why I have pain and what to do about it. The results are excellent and I would highly recommend Adam, he actively listens and has excellent diagnostic and hands on skills. He is professional friendly and is a great communicator , clearly explaining all you need to know.

Fantastic experience: Great experience. I booked due to having an aggressive and tight lower back injury caused by weight training, Sam worked on me and showed me some exercises which, after a few sessions completely solved the issue. Back feels better than before the injury and have more range of motion throughout. Also have a bunch of exercises I now know how to apply properly. Wish id have taken the tightness seriously much sooner. Can't recommend him enough snd worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: I visited Backpain Solutions for some muscle knots in my upper back, even though I didn’t have any major issues. I had a very positive experience with Sam. He was excellent at explaining each step of the process and gave clear, practical advice on how to address the problem. I really appreciated his professionalism and helpful approach. Thank you very much!

Fantastic experience: It's not just backs that he can fix! I had severe knee pain from stage IV osteoarthritis for years, and the pain was worsening so that sleeping and day-to-day activities were getting much harder. I went to see Adam in his St Albans clinic as he was a qualified Pain Reprocessing Therapist. From the start, Adam thought that my pain could be reduced and, over the 10 sessions, his confidence was confirmed. He used a mix of Pain Reprocessing Therapy (with homework each week for me) and physical manipulations of the knees. His expertise, caring, and patience took me through each stage to the point where resting pain is significantly reduced and I can start doing physical activities such as swimming again. This treatment has exceeded all of my expectations and I would recommend Adam as a therapist without hesitation. If you are struggling with chronic pain, talk to Adam and get some PRT sessions booked in. It is genuinely life changing.

Fantastic experience: Very professional practice, I have been twice for treatment and already a 20 year problem has been resolved. I have two other treatable problems so will definitely be going back until resolved. Signage to find the place was a bit lacking but now I have been a couple of times I know where to go.

Fantastic experience: I came in with four months of constant lower back pain and left feeling like a different person. Adam quickly identified the root of the problem, explained everything in detail, and tailored the treatment to my needs. My pain has completely resolved and I’m incredibly grateful. I can’t thank him enough, I wish I went to see him earlier!

Fantastic experience: I came across Adam after enduring 15 months of lumbar disc herniation related discomfort and accompanying neuroplasticity. I had previously had medical interventions like steroid injections in my spine, and a radio frequency ablation in my SI Joint. The medics were telling me that structurally I was fine, but I was still experiencing discomfort , stiffness and a fear of movement. Adam was listed in a directory of practitioners of pain reprocessing therapy, based in St Albans’s. He had good reviews and so Infigured I would give him a try. From day one I was impressed - Adam’s approach is balanced. His view was that a combination of hands on therapy, PRT and movement would be the antidote. 10 sessions later and I am running for an hour on the treadmill, waking up in the morning without neck pain, and really just living a more normal life. There are no miracles out there, but there are a lot of snake oil salesmen selling dreamstondrsperstenbacknpain sufferers. Adam is a very steady hand who will help guide you closer to what your true healing and capability is, as long as you are willing to commit the time.

Fantastic experience: I had been suffering with severe localised back pain for 3+ years and had seen various doctors and physios with no improvement. After being told I needed to accept living with pain lifelong, I tried to seek help once again. I chose to be seen by Adam in St Albans, due to his amazing reviews and I am now here to add one of my own. Adam is the first clinician who has attempted to understand my injury and create a programme to completely resolve it. Throughout Adam has been so thorough, confident, detailed, professional and ultimately successful at resolving my back pain. I really cannot believe the difference that he has made. I would encourage anyone struggling with back pain (however long) to see Adam, trust the programme, do the exercises and you will see results. Thank you so much Adam, it has genuinely been life changing!

Fantastic experience: If I could offer more than 5 stars I would. For many years, my life was one of existence, full of agonising pain, injections, medication and depression; Adam changed all of that. I was convinced that there wasn't a way back to health, especially after seeing multiple surgeons, practitioners and doctors, but through a programme of pain reprocessing therapy, I am now able to smile again. Adam is one of very few people who fully understands the power of PRT, and I am truly grateful that I was fortunate enough to discover his practice. For anyone who has lost hope, I urge you to visit Adam, as it was a life-changing experience for me, and one that I will aways be thankful for.

Fantastic experience: Unbelievable treatment and consultation with Sam. Very knowledgeable, professional and personable, feeling so lucky I found this place!

Fantastic experience: I came to see Adam after having severe lower back pain for around a month. From the first session Adam assessed the problem and talked me through what the problem could be and set out a clear recovery plan. This consisted of five sessions once a week as well as a tailored plan to carry out at home. After five sessions my back pain has completely gone and while I’m still following the plan to do at home I am back training regularly. Overall I cannot recommend Adam enough and will definitely return for any future problems!

Fantastic experience: I had been suffering from chronic back pain for years. I had tried countless practitioners including chiropractors, osteopaths, NHS treatments but nothing provided permanent relief. I was introduced to Pain Reprocessing therapy by a friend, and was open to more of a holistic approach to treatment, after years of trying so many other treatments. Adam was extremely knowledgeable and took a lot of time and care to understand my issues and work out the best treatment plan for me. He introduced me to Somatic Tracking and this really has been a game changer and something I continue to practice. After only a few sessions, I immediately started to see and feel the benefits, which is incredible, as I had been suffering from pain for decades. I highly recommend Adam for anyone who is suffering from pain and in particular chronic pain issues.

Fantastic experience: I came to see Adam in St Albans after struggling with upper back pain for four months. I had previously seen a chiropractor, but unfortunately, that didn’t help. Before starting treatment with Adam, I felt a blockage in my upper back between the shoulder blades and constant stiffness in my middle back. I couldn’t sleep properly because my back kept cramping at night. It disrupted my rest and affected my overall wellbeing. The constant tension also caused digestive issues and frequent burping, which made things worse - to the point where I felt completely helpless. After the initial examination, Adam planned five sessions and explained I should start feeling better partway through. He also gave me a set of stretching exercises to do a couple of times a day, which helped relieve the stiffness between sessions. By the third session, I noticed a significant improvement. After completing the full treatment, I felt completely back to normal - no pain, no sleep issues, and no tension. Adam is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He answered all my questions with patience and care. His expertise is clear, and he takes the time to explain everything in a way that makes you feel confident and supported. He’s also very friendly and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience even better. It was a real pleasure dealing with him. I highly recommend Adam, and if I ever have any issues again, I won’t hesitate to return.

Fantastic experience: After suffering from neck and shoulder pain for 7 years, I had seen countless physios and chiropractors who never really helped and finally I came across Adam who had a completely different approach based on the latest scientific information and studies. Through a mixture of physical therapy and a process called Pain Reprocessing Therapy he really helped me to understand why I felt such pain and taught me a long term solution to deal with it and significantly reduce the pain if it flares up again. His approach was completely different to what I have experienced with past treatment providers and I am eternally grateful to him for his knowledge and expertise at delivering this treatment. Adam does not rest on his laurels, he is incredibly thorough and really takes the time to understand why you are in pain and to see if it exists not just in the body but also neurologically, which for me was key. I had 10 one hour sessions which was sufficient (and also very good value!) to really understand my issues and learn how and why they came about. I highly recommend Adam if you have been suffering for a long time and have seen no good results with other practitioners. He is very easy to work with, highly professional and exceptionally well read in his field, particularly on neuropathic pain which Is not something most physical therapy practitioners seem to be. Many many thanks Adam !

Fantastic experience: I came to see Adam in St. Albans with severe back pain and pain running down my right leg. Before that, I had seen several spine surgeons and specialists, but none could offer a real solution. I felt completely stuck and my daily life was impacted, and so was my mental health. I truly believed I’d never be able to exercise, walk properly, or move around like I used to. After months of frustration, I found Adam Sealey and everything changed. From the very first session, his calm, kind, and professional approach made me feel safe and understood. He explained everything so clearly and took me through Pain Reprocessing Therapy step by step. Over just five weeks, I experienced a life-changing transformation. The pain eased significantly, and I began to feel stronger both physically and emotionally. I’m now able to move freely, exercise again, and feel more in control of my body and mind. I feel lucky to have found an Osteopath who didn’t just treat the pain, but helped me heal in every sense. Thank you, Adam you’ve genuinely changed my life. I hope more people get the chance to work with someone as dedicated and compassionate as you. With heartfelt thanks, Aaisha

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Adam for the last four weeks in St Albans with middle to upper back pain. Having discussed my symptoms thoroughly Adam was very knowledgable about what treatment I would need. Over the last four weeks with weekly treatments and doing exercises that Adam has suggested for me my back is feeling in great condition. It has really made a difference to me and Adam is a very knowledgable, professional, friendly guy and I would highly recommend him to anyone with any back problems - David Bickham

Fantastic experience: I came to see Adam in St Albans having experienced dizziness & neck issues for a prolonged period of time. If the truth be told I felt it was my last roll of the dice….id had scans, seen an NHS physio via zoom been for massages not to mention my GP on numerous occasions. In short I was desperate and was prepared to try anything. A quick google search of Osteopaths in my local area and decided to make a leap of faith a book an appointment. My expectations were low, nobody seemed to know what was causing my symptoms and I was becoming resigned to the fact that I would have to somehow try and live with a constant dizziness I had never experienced before. After one session with Adam I started to feel optimistic. Finally someone was able to ascertain what was happening and give me a detailed explanation with use of images . A treatment plan was outlined and by week 3 my symptoms were becoming sparse. I genuinely couldn’t believe it. The process was painless and Adam explained everything as he went. By week 5 I was back to “normal” something which at points seemed completely unrealistic. I am forever grateful to Adam. I feel as though I have my life back which may seem dramatic but I can assure you it’s not. I now know where to turn should i ever need help. Thank you Adam

Fantastic experience: After trying many other options/treatments, I came to see Adam in St. Albans with a bad back, hip and groin pain. What a great choice. Going at a pace that suited me, he worked on a treatment plan that helped alleviate not only the pain but also left me with a clear guidance on ways to prevent injury in future. He knows his stuff, takes great care in treatment, and every session felt like making progress. From excruciating pain in multiple areas to be able to get back to playing sports. Would highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: After experiencing neck pain and headaches for years after a car accident, I finally decided to go to a professional and came across Adam online. Without sounding too dramatic he really has changed my life, I can now spend entire days out without feeling uncomfortable and I’m back in the gym with no pain at all. I really couldn’t recommend Adam enough, he’s so friendly but also makes sure he’s thorough when targeting the pain and made a personalised plan which worked with my lifestyle which I greatly appreciate. If anyone is on the fence about getting professional help for any pains like I was, I would say 100% go to Adam - it’s definitely worth it.

Fantastic experience: I reached out to Adam as I’ve been struggling with a bad back for almost 10 years due to an old gym injury. Throughout that time have seen a few different osteopaths and chiropractors with mixed results. Things had gotten really bad towards the end of last year and I was desperate just for some relief… I honestly thought my back was beyond being fixed and I would just be happy for some pain relief. Before seeing me Adam recommended that if I had an osteopath I was already working with who had achieved some success, that I should continue to see them. I didn’t so we went ahead but that level of integrity and ethical practice impressed me a lot and was much appreciated. Adam was able to quickly establish the problem with my back and laid out a plan to not just ease my pain but make my back healthy and strong again so I could enjoy going to the gym, sports etc. I honestly thought it sounded to good to be true but Adam seemed very confident and I trusted him. He also set a clear goal and end date to my treatment which no other osteopath I’ve seen before has done. Throughout our time together he worked his magic in clinic but also gave me plenty of stuff to do at home and stressed how important these exercises were to my recovery and that it was a team effort. By the last session my back felt better than it had done since I originally injured it, it’s not an exaggeration to say it felt brand new! But more importantly I felt equipped to keep it healthy and out of pain going forwards even without regularly seeing Adam which was priceless and filled me with confidence. Overall I cannot recommend Adam highly enough. He is a true professional, his enthusiasm and passion for what he does is infectious and he is clearly at the cutting edge of his industry in terms of the science and literature!

Fantastic experience: I contacted Adam about my back problem which I have had for many years and wanted to try and get a proper 'fix' for, rather than continue with treatment on a piecemeal basis when it really flared up as I had been doing. His practice is very close to where I live in St Albans and I settled on having a course of five treatments across five weeks. These sessions have improved flexibility and resilience for me and offered a better understanding of what my back is doing and how to manage it in the future.

Fantastic experience: I am 45 yrs old and suffered with lower back pain for the last 20 years with the odd annual flare up some last from 2 days to 2 weeks. More recently in 2024 I suffered a period of chronic stress resulting in my lower back going into spasm every second week. As I recovered from stress, my lower back pain continued and it got progressively worse. I was recommended to read a book by Dr Sarno then another by Alan Gordon as my back issues were suspected to be neuro plastic pain. This was a new concept to me however the more I read the more I made the link between mind and body symptoms. I monitored my symptoms and started somatic tracking and came to the conclusion what I was experiencing was neuro plastic pain. I read the books and followed the guidance but only had temporary relief using somatic tracking. I knew I needed more to aid my recovery and found a PRT (Pain reprocessing Therapy) therapist. My therapist sign posted to new content and gave some good advice but again, no substantial progress. By June 2025, my back was locked with minimal movement in any direction and it was causing havoc in my life. I persevered with somatic tracking and knew there was something missing. I needed that helping hand to guide me through the process. This was when I found Adam Sealey who is an Osteopath trained in PRT based in St Albans. It was a 45 min drive for me but willing to travel to get me fixed! After two sessions, my lower back was unlocked, no way perfect but from 9/10 spasms, I went down to 6/10 which for me was a big step forward. Adam’s knowledge on PRT is excellent, he has the ability to perform movements with my back using somatic tracking techniques to reduce the fear cycle. It took some time to trust the process but once I did, I had faith in his ability to help me. During my time with Adam, I had a 10/10 flare up due to a family event and the stress I put on myself, this was good for Adam to see first hand. In that session with Adam, there was no hands on, it was an hour or somatic tracking exercises. I went in 10/10 and left 4/10. It was one of those moments in your life that you need to experience to believe. My nervous system was on high alert sending out danger signals but with Adams guidance, I began to relax into the sensations which lowered the danger signals and reduced the spasm. To see this in real time was amazing. As the weeks progressed, I made small gains, sometimes three steps forward and two back but nevertheless, I was making gains. Having an understanding of the limbic system helps, flight / flight / freeze and how our brains can be stuck in a hyper vigilant state due to either chronic stress / daily stressors or an old injury etc. I’ve completed 10 sessions as it took some time for my brain to reduce the fear sensation of certain movements with my back. Adam gave me various exercises to activate the problem muscles and at the same time sending messages of safety to my brain through somatic tracking. I finally feel I’m getting my life back and now have the tools to keep moving forward. I have my daily stretches / exercises to strengthen not only the muscle but the neuro link in my brain to build resilience. I am forever grateful for Adams professionalism and guidance through these sessions.

Fantastic experience: Adam recently helped to diagnose and treat a back problem I had (sciatica /piriformis syndrome). The problem had been ongoing for more than a year without resolving having tried different approaches. He is extremely knowledgeable in the area of back pain. His approach is both very methodical and caring. He really takes the time to understand the issues to be able to recommend the best course of treatment and which exercises are likely to work best. My back pain has now fully resolved and I would absolutely recommend Adam for any similar issues.

Fantastic experience: Adam really helped me with my long term lower back issues. He has a holistic approach and is very knowledgeable and supportive.

Fantastic experience: I came to Adam with hip pain that had been bothering me for a few months. Adam was able quickly diagnose the issue and after my block of sessions I am well on the way to a full recovery.

Fantastic experience: I came to Adam in St Albans for help with my persistent back problems. At 27, I had been struggling with back pain for years. Despite multiple visits to the NHS and various private treatments costing me thousands, nothing provided lasting relief. I was on the verge of giving up, living in constant pain and irritation. From my very first call with Adam, I felt a glimmer of hope. He listens intently to every word, aiming to understand your condition thoroughly. My girlfriend and I were blown away by our first visit. Adam's detailed approach included diagrams on his laptop, explaining each muscle and pinpointing exactly what was wrong with me—something no one else had done. The treatments included back massages, joint adjustments and much more, and not once did I feel like they were causing any additional problems. I walked out of there every week feeling better than the week before. Even with setbacks like falling at work or being on my feet for 12 hours causing my back to flare up, he knew exactly how to calm it down. Initially, Adam could barely touch my back without causing pain. Now, as we near the end of his treatment plan, he can massage my back as hard as he wants without me even flinching. He consistently provided expert advice and recommended stretches to do between sessions. Getting to know Adam over the past 10 weeks has been a pleasure. He is friendly, polite, respectful, and genuinely cares about his patients. Thanks to Adam, I've regained a part of my life that I thought was lost. Thank you for everything!

Fantastic experience: I had suffered with a bad back for decades following a variety of injuries. I had issues with my hip, discs, facet joints, rib pain and headaches. I had seen numerous specialists, osteopaths and chiropractors over the years, spent lots of money but was provided with temporary relief, if any. I was convinced that I needed a more holistic approach with a combination of treatment to both my body and mind. I researched Pain Reprocessing Therapy and I couldn’t believe my luck when I found Adam not only had a successful track record in treating this way, but was local to me too! Adam was extremely flexible in his approach and with his relaxed manner, quickly allayed my fears, of which I had many! I was nervous of repeating the previous experiences I had of feeling worse, not better. Exactly the opposite happened! Within just a few sessions with Adam my pain had drastically reduced by about 80%, as had the fear I had been holding on to for years! The Somatic Tracking exercises were a game-changer and are something I continue to regularly practice to keep the pain at bay. The change in my life in such a short period is quite remarkable. I do not take painkillers, I am exercising and walking regularly, mostly pain free. I can even sit down for long periods and paint my toe nails! I appreciate that there is still work to do but I have never felt more equipped for the challenge. I had thought that constant pain was something I had to live with until I found Adam. If you suffer with chronic pain, do not despair there is hope. Kim

Fantastic experience: I came to see Adam in St Albans for lower back pain which I had been experiencing for a few years now. I went to see many physios and doctors who couldn’t really help me in controlling the pain but Adam was super helpful and his treatment plan really helped me in learning pain management but also fixing the problem for good! During our weekly sessions he helped stretch and massage the area affected and gave me super helpful exercises to do at home which where super easy to schedule in to my daily routine! I also appreciate he never tried to upsell me and was honest about how many sessions I would need. Adam has been super helpful and positive which had a really positive knock on effect on me so I’d like to thank him very much and would highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I came to see Adam with about 25 years (!) of primarily lower back and hip problems that I was convinced needed constant treatment in order to be tolerable. 10 visits later, and I haven't needed painkillers for weeks, and my back feels neutral -- dare I say fine? -- most of the time! I did NOT expect this to happen!! I'd been taking numerous pain medicines in rotation for years, and seeing chiropractors for years. I had been "guarding" and "protecting" for years from certain movements, and was convinced that I was not going to get better. But Adam's approach is to help you NOT be dependent on constant treatment. He educates you and gives you ongoing pep talks for what the body is really capable of, and gives you exercises -- both physical and mental. Over the course of our 10 sessions, and my daily stretches at home and somatic exercises to reset the brain's expectations of pain, things improved week by week and I started to have days when my back did not hurt AT ALL. I walk a lot daily, and always expect back pain from it. But over time with Adam, my lower back and hips just... felt fine. I just got back from a city break, with four days of sightseeing walks, and my back and hips didn't hurt. DID NOT HURT. I haven't taken painkillers in weeks and weeks. I do my stretches religiously, and my somatic tracking exercises, and they help tremendously. This sounds corny, but I didn't think this was possible, and I feel very empowered now, rather than chained to constant treatments and pain pills. I'm seriously wowed! Adam is patient, kind, funny, and really knowledgeable and engaged with his mission of helping your body work better. I'm seriously grateful I found him.

Fantastic experience: I saw Adam with reference to lower back pain and associated acute pain in my thigh. After a diagnostic session I had a series of 6 weekly therapeutic sessions that involved manipulation & massage, backed up with a tailored exercise & stretching regime to be undertaken daily, at home. Adam's knowledge and communication skills are excellent. He explained the likely causes and that progress would not be linear, but progressive over a number of weeks. This proved to be the case and I am now largely pain free. I would recommend Back Pain Solutions to anyone seeking professional advice and therapies for muscular skeletal conditions.

Fantastic experience: Adam really helped me with me back and I would highly recommend him as a great Back pain specialist He guided me through lots of different exercises which not only helped my back to improve dramatically but also made me feel stronger. Five stars all the way Thanks Adam

Fantastic experience: After suffering for 4 years and visiting tons of different chiropractors and massage therapists to treat the chronic pain in my shoulder and neck, I can finally say I have my life back! I came to Adam in St. Albans 10 weeks ago, thinking that I could at least get some relief from the agonising pain which would flare up every week. I never imagined that visiting Adam would start my journey to recovery. My left shoulder and neck had been interfering with my life for 4 years; the pain would often get so bad that it would go down my arm, and I would be unable to sit down. The only way to stop it from getting this bad was to have massages or see chiropractors, but this was only a short-term remedy for relief from the pain as it would always flare up again. When I arrived at my first appointment, I didn't understand who osteopaths were, and I wasn't aware of the intricacies of chronic pain at all, so it was really interesting when Adam explained his more holistic approach to treating the pain. Adam was so empathetic and really understood how I was feeling, not just the pain itself but also how it affected all aspects of my life and mental health. He explained so clearly what was wrong with me, and within this first meeting, he showed me a week-by-week plan of how we could improve and heal my chronic pain. He put no pressure on me to book anything in and gave me some options depending on the outcome I wanted with my treatment journey. I was so shocked to see this plan as I didn't even think that getting my life back was an option. I thought that I would suffer with my pain forever. It was such a relief, but also, I was pretty sceptical of the end result. But sure enough, 10 weeks later, and I am in such a good place. I am able to do the simple things that were taken away from me, like sitting for prolonged amounts of time or sleeping well. I couldn't even go to the cinema or sit at work without the pain causing me headaches and making me miserable. My general mood is so much better and I am back to enjoying time in the gym. I cannot thank Adam enough and would recommend him to all!!!

Fantastic experience: I have seen Adam for lower back pain issues for sometime which affected my mobility, had a number of weekly sessions for over a couple of months to help rectify the situation. I find him very knowledgeable and his customer care was impeccable. I am now able to continue with my routine gym sessions after work and walking distance has fairly increased as a result. I highly recommend. (M. Ram)

Fantastic experience: I came to see Adam with a bad back and trapped nerves that I had it for very long time and could not walk more than few steps at a time. On my first visit Adam assessed my problems very thoroughly and started the treatment plant which included some exercises'. It was amazing that after a few treatments my pain was virtually gone and started walking again without any pain. I am on the mend and hope to be fully fit again and resume my Badminton. Adam is very caring person and his treatment is targeted to the area of concern and the results are very evident. For me Adam has been very caring and feels that he is my personal Physio and the treatment's are one to one special sessions. Thank you Adam. I recommend Adam for any back pain. Musafir Somani

Fantastic experience: I had 10 sessions with Adam for ongoing issues with my ankle, foot and back. Adam was patient and informative and relaxed company. The sessions were tailored to my individual needs and the stretches I was given were doable and effective. At the time of writing this I am injury free and more mobile. I would highly recommend Adam as a therapist

Fantastic experience: I went to Adam after seeing lots of different professionals with a long standing back pain problem. I had a course of 10 treatments and over the course of these treatments my flare ups diminished considerably but more importantly I learnt to help myself deal with them. I am in a much better place now and the pain has reduced considerably. Adam is a very knowledgeable and professional person who listened to me and addressed my problems and concerns at every point. I would strongly recommend seeing him if you have any issues with long term pain.

Fantastic experience: This was my second time working with Adam and as with my lower back issues a couple years ago, he managed to really make a difference in my recovery this time around, too. Adam really takes time to get a full picture and regularly checks in on progress, which I really appreciate. It gave me confidence, that he explained the anatomy, what wasn't working properly and how we would tackle my recovery. A set of exercises for in between appointments were provided and updated based on progress made. Definitely good value for money and I would go again anytime. Can't recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Adam is a great therapist with a wide knowledge and understanding of how human body functions. I have suffered with reoccurring sciatic nerve compression and through his treatments I was able to recover very quickly. Also, his advice on how to prevent reoccurrence of my problem has been extremely valuable. By following simple exercises I am able tostay pain free. Thank you so much Adam!!

Fantastic experience: I came to see Adam with a hip flexor problem which I had for over a year. After a very thorough first diagnostic Adam found what was causing this and we went over my history in sports and work to get a complete picture of why I was having this issue. I had been to a few osteopaths before who were only treating the symptom, so it kept returning. I booked ten sessions with Adam working on recovery and strengthening the areas needed . i now have a plan to maintain the areas needed and I’m back running better then before. Would highly recommend Adam , very thorough, clear instructions and very easy to talk to. 5 stars

Fantastic experience: I came to see Adam with a recurring shoulder injury that i had for a few months. This was an injury that i got through over training at the gym that i just could not get rid of. The phone consultation and in person consultation were incredibly thorough, Adam wanted to know everything about my personal injury, i have seen Osteopath's before but straight away i knew this was something different. Adam came up with a personal plan set over 5 weeks to help me get over the injury and back to the gym as soon as possible. From our first session together i could feel we were making progress, Adam put together a personal rehabilitation exercise program for me to work on at home and every session felt like it was tailored personally for me and where i was during my rehabilitation. Adam was always happy to answer any questions and offer advice. Im now ready to head back to the gym pain free, coupled with the knowledge of how to deal with an injury. I would highly recommend Adam as he is thorough, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you Adam :)

Fantastic experience: I am Greg Bennett. I don’t have a Google account, which means I am not able to submit a review, so I have logged in with a friend’s ID. I came to Adam, complaining of a lot of upper back/shoulder/neck pain. I was having headaches about five days a week, and I was feeling exhausted pretty much all the time. He was very honest with me, and suggested that he would need to see me about ten times to try and completely deal with the problem, so that it doesn’t come back. Adam got rid of the pain, and the headaches went as well. We discussed the exhaustion, and thought that diet could be a contributing factor as well as the back/neck issues. He did recommend a dietician, but I actually did some of my own research into diet. Until Adam treated me for the shoulder/neck issues, trying to sort out the exhaustion through my diet seemed rather premature, since I was sure that the exhaustion was in part caused by the neck tension. Now that he has sorted all that out, I have really tried to address my nutritional needs, and have been pretty successful. I have far less exhaustion than I was getting before seeing Adam. For me there seem to be multiple factors to my poor health. Adam sorted out several of them, which has allowed me to focus on the others. I feel a great deal better. It has been about 12 months since I first went to see Adam, and, true to his word, the problems have not come back. He did actually give me a great set of exercises to maintain the back health that he had produced. I can’t praise him enough – both for his treatment of my back in the sessions that I saw him, and for the holistic plan he gave me for general health. Greg Bennett

Fantastic experience: I came to see Adam in St. Albans with a bad back that I had for 15 years. He is very friendly, made the whole process extremely easy and gave me a excellent plan to follow which has made all the difference. I now don't suffer from back pain which is such a relief as it was something I just used to live with. I would 100% recommend using adam!

Fantastic experience: I went to see Adam as I have suffered from lower back pain intermittently over the last 6 years, which had flared up in the Autumn of 2022. I found Adam to be very thorough, analysing my problem, and explaining very clearly his proposed course of action. After 10 visits I'm pleased to report that the pain has ceased but more importantly it feels unlikely to recur, and if it does I now have tools at my disposal to relieve it again. Obviously if it did flare up badly I wouldn't hesitate to visit Adam again. Throughout the whole experience I found Adam to be friendly, professional and informative and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I went to Adam with persistent pain in my left shoulder and lats. A result of poor technique and lifting to heavy in the gym. The phone consultation and the subsequent in person consultation were incredibly thorough. Each question was derived from your answers which led to Adam being able to give a individual diagnosis of my problem. He then set out a bespoke treatment and rehabilitation programme over 5 weeks. The programme evolved as we made progress and as my initial areas of pain subsided it would reveal other areas of my back that were tight and had been contributing to the initial pain. By the end of the treatment we had made our way right down the spine to the lower back where I hadn’t even realised I was tight. Adam was able to give me exercises that I could perform by myself to help continue the recovery/maintenance beyond our sessions. That was over 2 weeks ago and my back has never felt better, I’m back to lifting heavy in the gym (with better technique) and whenever I feel I may be getting tight I now have the tools to prevent it from getting bad. Thanks Adam

Fantastic experience: I went to see Adam in St Albans about a recurring neck and upper back pain that I’ve had for many years. After a particularly painful flare up I decided to seek help. Adam was recommended by a friend and I’m so glad I took their advice. From the start Adam was brilliant. Warm and reassuring, he put together a rehabilitation plan which involved 10 weeks of sessions plus advice on posture and exercises. My neck and back soon started to feel better and week on week things have improved. I now feel on the road to recovery and am also armed with an exercise plan to help with my long term rehabilitation. Adam has helped me so much both physically and mentally. He is also full of brilliant advice and coping mechanisms. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Adam treated my husband for recurrent lower back pain. His experience with Adam was very positive and he found him to be extremely helpful, knowledgeable and concerned, not only with his back problem but also his general health. He is a skilled practitioner with a thorough understanding of his trade and he would definitely return to Adam's practice if required in the future.

Fantastic experience: Back pain Solutions was my last hope before going through a very painful operation. I was very sceptical as i had tried lots of physios and chiropractors before. I did a 15 week course with Adam and i can honestly say i was pleasantly surprised. Adam is extremely knowledgeable and very hands on. He explained everything to me step by step and really listened to me. I am now pain free for the 1st time in 7 years and will not be having the operation. Since finishing my course with Adam he has made sure to check on my progress which is great. I simply cannot recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: After a 10 week course with Adam, im now able to work and get back to being more active. From start to finish Adam has been amazing, clear advice, instant relief treatments and a full aftercare support package. Im so glad i contact Adam, and wouldnt hesitate to recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Adam helped me cure chronic back pain I've had for nearly 10 years. Not only am I out of pain but I have a plan moving forward if there are any flare ups, and I always know where he is if I need to go back. Can't recommend highly enough - I should've gone years ago!

Fantastic experience: I came to see Adam in St. Albans with a bad lower back that I’ve had for more than 6 years. Adam was recommended to me through a friend when I mentioned to them about my lower back becoming increasingly painful over recent months. Having been inspired by their success story, I decided to contact Adam. From the very initial consultation I was deeply impressed with the level of detail that Adam went into; his diagnosis and the clarity of what to expect from the treatments. The results from the treatments were incredible – I felt my back pains subside as each session went. I kept up with the bespoke home exercises and stretching plan that Adam gave me very early on, and by end of it all I truly felt like a different person. The constant pain in my lower back that had been a hindrance and restricted a lot of my movement for many years is no more, and I am truly thankful to Adam for the amazing work and results. I’m super impressed with Adam’s knowledge and his ability to pinpoint and treat the exact spot that had been causing me problems for so long. Adam is a highly skilled practitioner. He is very personable and genuinely cares about your wellbeing, and I cannot recommend Adam highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Hi everyone, I don’t think there are enough words to express how wonderful Adam Sealey is. I have been having chronic back pain for the last 10 years. I am healthy and fit, I am a midwife and always found the time to exercise. As midwife I do nights and long hours, so not a great lifestyle overall. I have done any sort of treatment in the last 10 years for trying to get on top of this terrible pain. I used to wake up in the middle of the night for the pain. I have tried with NHS physio and private osteopathy + acupuncture, well apart from Adam no one could get me any better. Adam didn’t just treat the pain I had but he also made me believing that I could get better…when I started with him I had no faith in the profession but I was so desperate of finding someone who could make me feel better. Adam went just behind and beyond my expectations. I have started with Adam at the beginning of my pregnancy so not an ideal situation. Despite all he managed to get me so much better that I barely had back pain by the time I finished his treatments. He is extremely professional and honest. He would do his best to get you better and there are no false expectations, which I think it is extremely important. He is not one of those who doesn’t want to get you better because he won’t have his own income, his plan isn’t to make his life better but your life better. To give you an example when we planned the treatments package he was confident that 1 set of treatments would have been enough also because he clearly said to me that at the end of the pregnancy my back condition would have aggravated slightly due to the front weight, therefore there was no point for me to have more treatments as it would have been a waste of money. So he assisted me until the end giving me exercises and check in up on me but no treatments were paid. I don’t think you can find another professional out there that could be so honest. I am planning to go back to him and I cannot recommend him enough. For me Adam has been the best osteopath I have ever met and his treatments have been the best money ever spent. Try him on, you won’t regret it!!!!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Adam. I visited him after experiencing work related pain for several weeks. The first session was comprehensive and Adam gave me really clear guidance about the issue and the courses of treatment available. After each of the 5 sessions,  (manipulation and dry-needling) I could feel the benefits. The sessions also included advice and exercises. Adam was thoroughly professional and consistently kept me informed of the treatment objectives and next steps.

Fantastic experience: I came to Adam with long term pain that hadn't been resolved after an injury and difficulty with getting strong again as a result. Adam was fantastic at really listening, asking the right questions and getting to the route of the problem. He is a total expert, professional and also a super friendly guy so our sessions were informative and enjoyable. I've ended up with more knowledge about my injury and the tools I need to stay out of pain and get strong again. Thanks Adam!

Fantastic experience: Really happy with the outcome of my sessions with Adam over the last 10 weeks!! I was in considerable pain which left me unable to walk far or indeed sleep! The back pain was referred down my left side which left me leaning to the side quite significantly. Adam was very kind and patient during our sessions and he managed to correct my posture. This together with the exercises he gave me to do on a daily basis has enabled me to cut out all pain relief. I would thoroughly recommend him. What a nice guy!

Fantastic experience: Adam is a kind, dedicated and experienced osteopath. He took the time to really listen to my concerns and then worked with me to find the best and most realistic route forward to improve my physical health. I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions and saw a noticeable difference in my body, even after a few sessions. Thank you Adam!

Fantastic experience: Back Pain Solutions provide great Osteopathic services and Adam is simply awesome, very knowledgeable, supportive and good at treating lower back problems.

Fantastic experience: I've had lower back issues for many years and, after a recent strain, decided to do something about it and made contact with Adam. After initial consultation (fee for which was given to charity), we embarked on a 10-week plan to resolve the issue for the long-term as opposed to a short-term fix requiring me to return over and over when the issue reoccurred. Was very impressed with the personalised plan provided which not only included the treatments themselves but also a focussed exercise plan to address the specific issue I had with my back. Adam was always courteous and understanding and went the extra mile providing extras like posture assessment and dry-needling (new to me!). Overall I feel like I am on the road to recovery now, with a comprehensive long-term plan provided to support me, and am extremely grateful. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I came to see Adam because of a chronic, long-term shoulder injury. Adam was thoroughly professional. He was extremely enthusiastic that we were going to be able to make some good progress in helping the shoulder recover much of its former mobility. He set me up with a range of exercises and during the sessions worked on releasing much of the muscle tension that had built up over the years. He is very easy to get along with and offered many practical tips to support my recovery. My progress has been amazing Thoroughly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I came to Adam with a lower back issue that’s been preventing me from doing normal things for the past 2 years. Not only did he help me to recover from the pain dramatically but also helped me to understand the cause and how I can further improve the health of my back. A very professional service and an extremely great guy, definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: My course of treatment with Adam has been excellent. I am near enough 100% better than when I arrived at his clinic for my consultation. I came in with back pain in the form of severe stiffness, strain and sharp twinges. Adam spent a lot of time asking questions and getting to the root of the problem upfront which meant we had a plan for the following sessions which has really worked. He is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend Adam and thank you for getting me back to the things I love.

Fantastic experience: “At the end of 2020 - I was diagnosed with a herniated/bulging disc, again - and was advised to have spinal injections and a possible spinal operation. By this stage I had been admitted to hospital; unable to move, taking strong painkillers inc morphine, neuropathic drugs and unable to work; leaving me feeling very low and in despair. I decided to go down a less invasive route - and found Adam Sealey. I have just finished a 10 week course with Adam - which involved weekly in-clinic sessions, along with specific exercises/stretches to do at home. With his expertise and knowledge - I would say that I’m 90% better. I am looking forward to going back to work and also able to enjoy my life once again. I cannot believe that I can now walk up to 10k a day - after not being able to move last Summer! I highly recommend Adam; especially if you want not only to treat a major problem now - but also to prevent a problem reoccurring in the future.” Clare Loshak.

Fantastic experience: I attended on a word of mouth recommendation as i had a serious shoulder issue giving me great pain and very limited mobility of my right arm that had been getting progressively worse. Adam was very quick to diagnose the issue and went into great detail as to the cause and a programme of treatment even using a model replica of the shoulder and all the components by way of demonstration. He was very re-assuring being both direct and honest about the condition. The treatment itself was a mixture of a focussed massage on shoulder, arm and neck, various differing exercises and movements together with acupuncture. Adam was meticulous in typing notes from each session noting my feedback of my previous week and progress during and after treatment. I was given access to an online website with a personally tailored programme of exercises to do at home that grew in complexity in line with the advancing treatment. The results I have to say were spectacular. In a matter of a few sessions i was able to get my life back. I progressed positively so quickly for an issue that can potentially last a very long time. I am so grateful to Adam who always made me feel welcome and was great to talk to. I cannot thank him enough and highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I've suffered with neck and lower back pain for years - made worse by sitting at a desk all day long. It finally got to the point where I couldn't really exercise properly and every movement was painful. Adam was a complete lifesaver! He really took the time to listen and assess the issues I had with my body and helped pinpoint the weak areas. After a course of treatments I'm so excited to say that I feel like I have my body back again. Best thing of all is that Adam has designed a bespoke exercise plan that will help strengthen and maintain all the good work we have done in the last few weeks. In today's times where we have realised that health and being pain free is so important I wouldn't think twice about investing in Adam - you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: I had a long running back injury that continued to worsen and got to the point of impacting my sleep, ending exercise and interrupting my day to day routine. Adam quickly identified what was wrong and he clearly explained how he can help me recover. His friendly, straightforward and informative style gave me real confidence and after our first session I left feeling reassured and could see the road to recovery. We worked together over several weeks to help my back heal. Through our weekly appointments and the exercise programme he built for me, the pain and discomfort subsided, my back strengthened and I became mobile again. I am now fully recovered and can get back into the gym (if it weren’t for Covid), go jogging and sleep much better. Adam left me with the tools I need to continue to improve my strength and mobility. This has giving me confidence to continue to exercise and the knowledge of how to avoid further injury.

Fantastic experience: I saw Adam with a shoulder injury and within 5 sessions of massage,dry needling and compression and exercises at home. I have recovered. I would highly recommend Adam

Fantastic experience: Great osteopath, really helped me out with a stubborn longterm problem.

Fantastic experience: I came to see Adam for long-term back pain which had been getting gradually worse. In those first few sessions we made great progress but had to stop due to lockdown resulting from COVID-19. In spite of this, Adam kept in weekly contact with me through phone and zoom calls, and recorded personalised videos for me detailing stretches, exercises and home management strategies - all free of charge. He even sent me a free resistance band to encourage me to keep active while working from home. Since resuming our hands-on sessions at the clinic, I'm happy to say I am now pain free and have a solid strategy in place to manage any future aches and pains. Adam is a highly skilled practitioner who genuinely cares about my wellbeing and I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I came to Adam with lower back pain and tension in my shoulders; pains that I'd just got used to and assumed to be 'normal' until I had a postural assessment at work which highlighted just how sore they were and in fact not normal pain at all. I had several sessions with Adam including acupuncture and massage and noticed an improvement even after the first few sessions. It was during the course of the treatment when my aches and pains started to ease , I realised how long I had been suffering with discomfort in my back (something I had always put down to aches after the gym and having an overarching lower back). Adam not only alleviated the discomfort but has shown me how to manage this going forward so hopefully I never have to return for more treatment. Adam is extremely professional, an expert in his field and explains things in a clear way that make sense as to how the body works and causes of pain and discomfort. He is very friendly and personal and follow ups throughout treatment so you never feel you are left to manage on your own. When Covid interrupted my treatment plan, Adam checked in and gave me video exercises to bridge the gap between sessions. He doesn't try to upsell treatment that you do not need, in fact his moto is you should go away being with the techniques to maintain a healthy posture so you do not have to see him again. I would highly recommend Adam going forward.

Fantastic experience: I went to see Adam as I had injured my shoulder and neck at work and was finding it difficult to lift and carry without pain to the right side of my neck and shoulder. I also found moving my neck painful. Adam was very thorough in assessing my injury and took a detailed history from me prior to treatment. I initially booked 5 sessions. overall I had 8 sessions in total. Each session was well planned by Adam and meant that I was able to feel confident about my recovery. The sessions were supplemented by exercises which I found helped me to feel that I was progressing. Even whilst locked down due to Covid 19 Adam kept in touch and made me feel that I and my injury was important to him. Adam is a very personable and made me feel confident in him and the treatment I was receiving. Overall it was a very positive experience and I have made good progress with my injury and feel very confident in the future. I would be very happy to return to Adam for further treatment and would recommend him to my friends or family without any hesitation.

Fantastic experience: Adam has a refreshingly self empowering approach that gives you confidence you will be able to improve how you manage your wellbeing - to know what will help and what to avoid, always a dilemma with pain! I have neck and shoulder issues and had seen various practitioners over the years but recently developed a new stabbing pain one side of my collar bone. With Christmas and a house move looming, I was looking for a way of coping, perhaps temporary relief through a massage, but fortunately was introduced to Adam. I liked the idea of a contractual series of sessions with the expectation of self management at the end, rather than being the passive recipient of treatment. Adam has proved knowledgable in identifying issues and skilled in applying interventions, plus motivational and supportive to my self care in between sessions and since. I still have tension, as you can't eradicate a lifetime of bad habits in a matter of weeks, but I am much more aware of where and how I tense up and have an array of exercises I know how to use to counter the impact. This is a world away from the pain I presented him with and the sinking feeling that my problems were 'just my lot' and were only going to get worse. I am grateful for the difference Adam has made and would certainly encourage others to journey with him too!

Fantastic experience: I used to go to a chiropractor for over 20 years and latterly to a physio to resolve lower back pain and some tingling in the right foot. With the retirement of the chiropractor I decided to switch to an osteopath. My wife who also has back issues had already found Adam Sealey who was conveniently very local to us. So I thought Adam was worth a try. The results are clear- over a course of 10 sessions Adam identified the issue and has stabilised my back with manipulation, massage and acupuncture. The process was NOT painful and quite safe and indeed often pleasurable and relaxing. Together with self exercises between weekly sessions which are an important part of the healing process my back has significantly improved. I still get the occasional twinge but with the exercises which take less than 10 minutes every day I can keep my back in good nick. I also have been going to the gym regularly 3 times a week focusing on resistance work. In my opinion this also helps in keeping muscles in trim particularly as you age, and i am in what you may call late middle age. Adam is very personable and reliable. He talks to you to identify the issues and is excellent at diagnosis and recording progress. He never flaps, always has a relaxed manner. He is flexible on appointment times and communicates well if appointment time changes need to be made from him or I. Overall, I highly recommend Adam Sealey for back related issues for persons of any age. Jonathan Friend

Fantastic experience: Went to Adam with ongoing back and neck issues, whilst not painful, I was uncomfortable and aware that these issues would only get worse due to my daily routine and postural issues. After a few sessions with Adam combined with a home stretching routine these issues have practically gone. Adam made it clear to me that regular excercises at home are needed to stop the issues recurring and developed a 30 page excercise plan for me to ensure that the issues I had are reduced and I have seen a big improvement. I found Adam really personable, explained everything really well and always happy to answer any question I had. Have rexorecomme to friends and work colleagues.

Fantastic experience: I came to Adam with a bad back and his patience and expertise in his field helped me back to feeling physically good. He also showed me with carefully planned exercise for my specific problem that I could maintain the good work he has done ✅ I thoroughly recommend him. Thanks Adam. Annie.

Fantastic experience: I have seen Adam for a variety of injuries over the past few years , the latest being a chest injury/ strain. Adam was able to inform me what the injury was and the treatment I needed to allow it to heal. He gave me advise on what things I should do to avoid it getting worse and gave me a rehab plan. Adam’s treatment was effective and had good results. I would highly recommend him , he is very professional , knowledgable and cares about aiding recovery and offering the correct treatment for his clients.

Fantastic experience: Adam provided excellent treatment. He was very knowledgable and tailored the treatment to my needs. He listened to my feedback and changed the treatment pathway as needed. While there is always some “homework” exercises with this kind of treatment, he made them as simple and memorable as possible which gave me the motivation to actually do them and make them habitual. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone looking for treatment. I feel like myself again, best money I’ve ever spent.

Fantastic experience: Adam is simply brilliant! I went to him with shoulder pain that had been ongoing for about 6 months following an injury from carrying a heavy backpack, but after talking to Adam I actually realised I'd experienced low level shoulder pain and stiffness for 10 years. I'd been to see several physios who hadn't been able to get to the bottom of the problem, but within our first consultation Adam had identified the issue (a misplaced rib) and started to work on fixing it. It was such a relief just to know what had been causing me problems all these years! Adam was able to get me pain free, and back to practising yoga within a matter of months (which was particularly important as I'm a trainee yoga teacher). Unfortunately I then injured myself again which meant another course of treatment, but Adam gave me really good advice about what I needed to do to avoid further injury, and helped me get back on track very quickly. Throughout my treatment he was always focused on getting the best outcome for me as quickly as possible, whether through rehab exercises, a gym programme, or referrals to other practitioners. Adam is a kind and caring person, who I always felt had my best interests at heart. While treating me we had some great chats, including him giving me valuable advice about setting up my own business - he really does go above and beyond the call of duty! I would recommend Adam without hesitation - even if you're not sure if he can help you, go and see him and if he can't help he'll know someone who can!

Fantastic experience: I went to Adam for neck and shoulder pain earlier in the year. He was really good at explaining what he was going to do to help fix it, and the stretches I needed to do at home regularly to ensure the pain didn't come back. I saw him over 3 months and the pain has not come back and I'm feeling much better than I was earlier in the year. Very pleased with the results!

Fantastic experience: I went to see Adam after having a bad back for a number of months, which had been particularly bad over Christmas. I was having trouble sleeping and it was also very painful to sit. I went to see Adam based on a recommendation for a colleague. In the first session, Adam spent the time discussing the symptoms and history of the discomfort, and provided helpful information on the muscle groups, nerves and areas of the spine that were impacted. After a short examination, Adam identified the issue and proposed a way to treat it. After 3 further sessions and carrying out some short exercises at home (5 minutes per day), I was pain free and no longer need to see Adam for this issue. Adam is really helpful and was able to explain the issue and it’s causes clearly. He is clearly very knowledgeable about what he does and I would certainly recommend seeing him if you have similar issues.

Fantastic experience: I was so pleased to finally be pain-free after years of misdiagnosis at my Doctors. All I can say is Adam Sealey has changed my life and I’m so happy to have found him. I would whole-heartedly recommend him. Thank you
