Back Pain Solutions

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!

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.

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.

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

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!!!

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 :)

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

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)

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.

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
