neck/upper back pain Patient Testimonials
When I came to Robin ... I was suffering headaches on an almost daily basis and had very little head movement ... after my first treatment ... my pain had lessened considerably and my daily headaches stopped.
When I came to Robin, I was in a lot of pain following a whiplash injury, which happened 20 years ago. I was suffering headaches on an almost daily basis and had very little head movement to the left. I felt very depressed and honestly thought that I was stuck with the problem for the rest of my life.
After my first treatment from Robin, I felt a big difference straight away. My neck movement had improved by at least 20%, my pain had lessened considerably and, joy of joys, my daily headaches stopped. After six treatments, I had regained 75% of my head movements and could sit at a table and hold a conversation without having to support my chin on my hands. My neck muscles were growing stronger and I could stop taking pain killers.
Robin warned me that longterm problems, unlike recent injuries, took longer to heal. I have now had three months of weekly treatments and am almost 100% cured. Robin's healing skills work on deeper levels, too. Since I began treatment, my stress levels have lessened and my general mood has improved. I feel calmer and happier and much more optimistic about the future. Robin is a kind, warm, sensitive man, highly professional in his approach and incredibly gifted as a healer. His gentle but powerful treatments have transformed my life. Robin, I cannot thank you enough!
Sincerely, LR

In one session, I found instant relief in my upper back ... numbness in my left hand side of my face for the past 10 years and tension headcahes .... I can happily say that I do not suffer with tension headcahes anymore, plus the numbness sensation has completely disappeared ... I would highly recommend Robin

I would like to thank you for the work you've done on my back.
Before seeing you, I had been suffering for a year following a ski accident.
I had seen another osteopath and my back pain was still pronounced.
Several friends having suffered from similar vertebres experiences told me that my back pain would last for the rest of my life...
Based on the above experience and feedback, I had little expectations when I came to see you for the first time.
You have delivered an impressing relief and I am very grateful to you for this.
My expectations have been far exceeded and I will be most happy to recommend your services as I have already started doing

I have suffered from back problems for years (including two spine operations), so when I started to get pain and loss of movement, once again I was in despair.
However you kindly squeezed me into your lists as an emergency and I am happy to say that within just two treatments under your expert hands, my range of movement improved and the pain began to subside. After three sessions I was almost back to normal - if there is such a thing!
Please do not take what I am about to say in the wrong way, but I hope that I won't need to see you again in the near future!
Thank you once again for sorting me out so quickly
Yours sincerely, PD

I had been suffering from lower back pain which had been getting worse gradually over a couple of years. I had been receiving physiotherapy but getting very little positive result and the pain had begun to affect my every day life, increasing to pains in my hips and legs on a daily basis and making me feel tired and unwell.
A friend suggested osteopathy and I found Robin's contact details on the internet; his surgery was close to my workplace and very convenient.
I have been receiving treatment from Robin over several months, during the course of which the pain has dramatically decreased. Robin gave me advice on maintaining good posture and flexibility and managing the problem myself. Robin also found different ways to treat my symptoms and showed me how my lifestyle and stress levels were contributing to my problems. As a result, I now have a virtually pain free lower back and the ability to deal and minimise the problem every day.
Robin is professional, sympathetic and understanding at all times and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking osteopathic treatment.

To Robin
Many thanks for helping me out this year - not really sure I could have done it without your help - I really do appreciate it.

Robin is exceptionally professional at all times and has been a great help to me both mentally and professionally. I pointed out to Robin that I did not like manipulation and he took on board my wishes and treated me in different ways. He sorted out my lower back with only a few treatments and then worked on other areas (shoulder and neck) that have also been problematic. He gave me exercises to do and has told me how I can improve my posture.
I still have regular treatments with Robin which are very successful and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I awoke one morning with an excruciating neck pain that I put down to sleeping strangely. The following night resulted in no sleep whatsoever as which ever way I lay, resulted in agony. The next day I made an appointmnet with Robin simply because the practise was near my office.
Robin identified the problem and after one session my neck immediately felt better. I returned for three more treatments to ensure that the problem was gone for good. The problem has not returned. I did however return to Robin for back pressure problems later in the year, caused by pregnancy - the problem was immediately relieved. I will also be booking Cranial Osteopathy treatments for my new baby daughter.

...For over five years I suffered from terrible neck pains and almost daily headaches. I visited approximately 10 Harley Street specialists, tried all sorts of alternative medicine (hypnosis, Alexander technique and even flying to Thailand for acupuncture) and had regular sessions with a variety of expert physiotherapists. Nothing worked.
In April, I was recommended to Robin by my doctor. Since I started seeing him (once a week), my neck pains have diminished to a perfectly tolerable level, not generally having more than one headache a week. In the past month, I have not experienced a single headache. Apart from helping me enormously in a physical sense, Robin Kiashek's holistic approach has been a real moral booster. His skills as a clinical dietician have improved my diet and he has enrolled me with a personal trainer twice weekly. He is sympathetic, encouraging and thoughtful and I'm sure these human qualities have also played a role in my incredible recovery.
