I attended Hicks Clinic with a back problem. I was impressed with the advice and treatment I received from Robert. The sessions were followed up with useful exercises which helped speed up my recovery.

A fantastic osteopathic practice. I have intermittent back issues and when it flares up the team come to the rescue! Friendly, sympathetic, professional and effective. Cannot recommend Oliver, Robert and Sigita highly enough.

Sigita has been fantastic. I went to her with an ongoing long term issue in the back of my leg which I’ve never been able to resolve, despite trying other practitioners over the years. She told me it wouldn’t be a quick fix so we started weekly and then moved to fortnightly. 3 months on, I can’t remember how it used to feel! I will continue seeing her for a monthly “MOT” to keep everything running smoothly but also for a good 45mins of chats 😊

Went to see Oliver after years of knee pain and had practically given up on being able to exercise and keep fit. After just a few appointments my knee felt better than it has in years and I’m able to do much more than I thought I ever could again. Oliver also helped me return to a more positive mindset which has also helped me immensely. I cannot recommend him enough.

I had an appointment with Oliver yesterday he was very professional and friendly. I have ongoing neck and shoulder pain from having a desk job and using a mouse. Straight away after treatment I could feel the benefits and my neck and shoulder felt so much better. Oliver also gave me advice on how I should be sitting at my desk and exercises to do at home.

Great service I have used rob a number of times for numerous injuries and always had a quick recovery I can't rate him highly enough well recommended.

I booked in to see Oliver as I had a specific sports injury incurred through a hyper extension of the elbow. I had previously seen a physio who had provided some relief but not a great deal of progress in terms of recovery. Three sessions with Oliver, along with some exercises he prescribed I do at home, were enough to get me well on the road to recovery. My arm is significantly better now, much of my strength has returned and I am nearly back to full recovery. Overall the whole process was very professional but also very personable, friendly and welcoming. Highly, highly recommended!

I have an ongoing problem with a trapped nerve in my right arm which Robert was able to diagnose and identify the source of the issue on my first visit. The pain was excruciating and through regular treatment with Robert, he has virtually cured my issue. Both Robert and Oliver are extremely professional and knowledgeable and having been to other clinics, you aren’t just a number! They truly care about your well-being and don’t recommend additional sessions if not needed. They are also very accommodating with appointments if your issue is urgent.

My mum woke up one morning with crippling back and leg pain and Oliver squeezed her in for an appointment at short notice. She could barely stand or walk, but after the first session, she was able to stand straighter for short periods. Due to the pain being stubbornly persistent, he later suggested some additional treatment approaches and we had no idea how she would respond. I'm pleased to say just over a month later, mum is happily walking around again and just in time for our holiday too. Oliver was very professional, kind and compassionate as mum also suffers from vertigo so doing certain movements or exercises can be quite challenging. We can't recommend him enough, thank you so much!

My friend booked me a session with Hicks Health Osteopathy as she was sure he could sort out my shoulder discomfort and I’m so pleased to say she wasn’t wrong! Oliver’s knowledge and skill meant that he immediately identified the problem and 4 sessions later, I’m moving my arm easily, my posture is better , the pain has virtually disappeared and I am discharged! I have no hesitation in recommending Oliver, he has such a kind and pleasant manner, and coupled with being an excellent osteopath, I’m sure Hicks Health will go from strength to strength and I wish him continued future success as he grows his practice!!

Incredibly friendly & professional team at Hicks Health. The team were happy to answer any questions I had and were incredibly thorough when I came in for a physio session. Will be recommending to friends and family.

I would highly recommend the osteopathy treatment available at Hicks. I had a sports related injury that was causing some discomfort in my back and neck and after a couple of sessions with Robert it completely cleared up. Very professional & high quality service to diagnose, treat and provide follow up advice.

My daughter recommended Hicks Health for the pain in my right arm and shoulder. I saw Robert who was very good. The exercises he prescribed for me have been very helpful and my arm is much better. Thank you very much.

I really can't rate the attention care and professionalism highly enough. I've been suffering for months and have seen an improvement from the very first session. I only wish I'd found them sooner!

I had a problem with my glutes and was in discomfort and had limited mobility. Oliver managed to get me an appointment quickly and was able to sort out the issue. I was really impressed with the level of professionalism and clarity with which Oliver described my problem and how he was going to treat it. I will definitely use their services in future and would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Rob at Hicks Health has been fantastic in helping me prepare for this year's London Marathon. The Sports massages were great and helped with my recovery after my long distance runs. I've had no injuries during my training and Rob's support has played a key role. He also provided advice on dynamic stretching techniques and recovery, which has been really helpful. Thanks again for all your help Rob!

I visited due to a very painful jaw (TMD) and was impressed with Oliver’s knowledge and expertise in treating me. After just one session I felt much improved. I also felt completely at ease during the session - no sudden neck clicks! Oliver took the time to explain which muscles he was working on why. I also appreciated the advice and exercises given to me to help with the issue. I would recommend Oliver to anyone seeking help with pain. Absolutely brilliant service - thanks so much!

It had been recommended to me to see an Osteopath and was very happy to locate one close by. I’m so glad to have met Oliver who has literally given me my life back by sorting out my back pain in as little as three sessions! I have never felt so much better and have exercises that I can do myself at home. Oliver is a lovely person and always enjoyed our chats during the sessions.

Oliver was fantastic at sorting out the back and sciatic pain I had both in terms of treatment and recommended exercises. Really glad I went to see him. I'd definitely recommend.

I've been treated by Oliver for years for neck, back and calf tension. Very effective treatment. Recommended him to my mum who was also impressed and sees Oliver regularly now. Recently she had a course of acupuncture and was very pleased with the results. Recommended.

I have been seeing Oliver for a year now since I started getting difficulties with my Neck and I have not regretted this one bit. Oliver has helped me immensely in restoring my posture and controlling the pain and tension I have been feeling. He has encyclopaedic knowledge about his field and a great passion for what he does. He always explains what he is doing and he is so well researched and up to date on the different methodologies used. 1 year on and I feel more confident and pain free. Thank you Oliver!

I injured my shoulder while training for a Spartan race and couldn't do any upper body strength exercises. A combination of massage, acupuncture, laser and some stretches to do at home did the trick. I completed the Spartan race on Sunday including full on monkey bars, hoops plus a ton of burpees. I can't than Oliver enough for helping to keep this 50 year old still in the game.

I have visited the clinic after a friend recommended it. And she was not wrong. Oliver is very friendly and you feel confident after a few minutes. I had a problem with my foot that would interfere with my normal activities ( work, sport). After a few sessions with Oliver the improvement was huge. His knowledge and equipment available to treat sport injury is excellent. He makes suggestions about what you should do to help the recovery in very positive way. He would not ask for you to continue a treatment for longer than required. I would definitely recommend Oliver for anyone with sport injury. I am sure I will come back when I need again.

I have had issues with my lower back for years and was referred to Oliver who has been a big help. Whenever I have any issues now I know he will be able to help. Its quick and easy to get an appointment which is really comforting, as the last thing you want when you are in pain is to have to wait days to be seen. Oliver is very knowledgeable and professional and I would highly recommend him.

I came to see Oliver having suffered from backs spasms on and off for 18 months. We had six sessions together between January and February and he has helped to substantially improve my mobility and flexibility. I'm back to running and tennis again and my mental and physical health have improved greatly. He's a real professional, highly knowledgeable and really listened as I explained my problem. I couldn't recommend highly enough.

I felt immediately at ease in the environment, and everything was explained to me well, so I could understand what my body better. Came for a post marathon sports massage and felt much better afterwards - I will be coming back for regular sessions in future marathon training.

I have been seeing Oliver for a few months after being in a road traffic accident. He has been friendly, really understanding of my situation and always explains the treatments. I feel like I’ve been listened to and have seen improvements from going to him. I would certainly recommend HicksHealth to anyone who needs.

Oliver is extremely professional and friendly and I would not hesitate to recommend him. I have always found his treatment and after-care to be excellent.

Excellent. I have complex conditions that affect my mobility and during the pandemic staying indoors and working from home made my conditions even worse. The treatments with Ollie helped me so much with keeping mobile, getting fitter and to manage the chronic pain.

Ruth Mead-Wellings

Hicks health is a really great Osteo clinic. Oliver is very knowledgeable and helpful. he Really helped me with my shoulder discomfort.

I’ve only been to Oliver three time in the last four years . Think that’s a reflection on he’s great work and advice on after care . Keep up the good work

Visited hicks health on Saturday and I can say it’s by far the best and most effective sports massage I have ever received. Helped loads with my shoulder pain. Also made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. Great customer service. I would definitely recommend.

Oliver is a fantastic osteopath who was able to resolve my persistent pain in just a few sessions. Professional, calm and friendly I felt reassured and well-informed throughout my treatment.

“Oliver is the most effective osteopath I’ve ever seen. Oliver combines professionalism with a genuine warmth and friendliness that allows you to feel calm, reassured and in safe hands throughout the appointment… In a few treatments I was almost pain free. My range of movement (shoulder) improved from the first appointment. He is working on secondary issues caused by the dislocation and the trauma to other areas as a result of the original accident - combining his osteopathy skills, massage and acupuncture. I can’t rate him highly enough”.

I’m not normally one to write reviews - in fact, this is my first! - but I was so impressed by Oliver at Hicks Health, I felt the need to do so. I twisted my ankle while out for a run and was in pain for months afterwards; even walking short distances was out of the question. I contacted Hicks Health and after a few sessions, along with some home exercises, my ankle is vastly improved. Not being able to exercise was having quite a negative impact on me, so I’d like to thank Oliver for his great work in helping me get back out there! I couldn’t recommend him enough.

Oliver is a fantastic osteopath. I went there with low expectations because I had bad experience with others. I could recommend Oliver more for his professionalism, knowledge and his ability to make you feel comfortable in any way possible. After suffering from my injury for months I’m glad that I can finally function a lot better now thanks to Oliver.

Would definitely recommend Hicks Health. After four sessions of deep tissue massage and acupuncture, I felt like I had a new shoulder! Oliver is a very experienced osteopath and knows his stuff. He gave me some simple home exercises which had a big impact on my training. He's a great guy too, enjoyed our chats during the sessions!

I have been seeing Oliver Hicks for pain in my hands (thumbs) and arm for the past six weeks. He has done a fantastic job of reducing my pain considerably, using a combination of massage, acupuncture and laser treatment as well as giving me on-going exercises to do to maintain the progress we've made. He is very professional and knowledable, but also an extremely friendly guy, who put me as ease straight away. I shall be back to see Oliver in January and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

I first tried Oliver in the summer not really believing anything would work as my knee condition had been there for 2 years, NHS x-rays suggesting early onset arthritis(I am male in my 60s) After 4 sessions the knee improved so much I was back playing competitive tennis soon after with no ill effects. So fantastic ! Recently I developed a severe achilles strain which Oliver has been treating with acupuncture and a new laser machine improving week after week until last week when I was able to practice without any issues.Highly recommended.(Using my partners contact !)

Ollie has treated several issues causing me acute pain (once at the base of my ribs preventing me breathing properly, another following a worrying neck injury). Each time Ollie gave me reassuring, empathetic treatment and I’m glad to say, also effectively alleviated the pain 😊 Highly recommended osteopath!
