Robin as been my osteopath for 10 years. His addition of NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming & Life Coaching to his practice has been useful to me. After redundancy I found life increasingly depressing. After 3 sessions of NLP with Robin I felt much better about myself. He then helped me to develop actions to maintain my new level of self esteem.
Robin is a very nice man and highly competent.
I have suffered with sleeping problems for most of my adult life, however over the last few months these problems got so much worse that my life became almost unbearable. In the past I had tried various remedies- lavender pillows, herbal treatments, meditation (I am a qualified Bach Flower Essence practioner and exhausted all my supplies!!). Nothing worked for me!
Even prescribed sleeping pills didn’t have the desired effect. It was then that Robin (who I’d been seeing for a back problem) suggested that I try Autogenic Training.
After 7 sessions my sleep has improved dramatically!! I’m falling asleep much more quickly than I ever have done before and am sleeping for longer too.
Also, because its so quick and easy to do, I sometimes use it during the day at work when things get a bit hectic.
After all these years and the many, many things I have tried, I really didn’t think anything would help me, thanks to Robin and Autogenic Training I have been proved to be wrong– and that’s a first!!
…I have been visiting Robin periodically for two years. I originally sought his service out with an extremely painful lower back that had plagued me for over a year. On my first visit, I was very emotional and after asking many questions, Robin suggested that a referral to a psychotherapist may be beneficial.
These initial few meetings set me on a course that has led me to make many wonderful changes in my life. I learnt that my bad back was a symptom of stresses, both physical and emotional, that had built up over many years. Robin treated my back with a combination of Cranial Osteopathy and manipulation; I have been pain-free in my lower back for over a year. I now see Robin once a month to relieve stresses which manifest as pain in my neck and shoulders. I have recommended Robin to many friends and colleagues and they are without exception extremely grateful.
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.
Robin was recommended to me by a work colleague after I suffered severe lower back pain on my right side. During my first visit, Robin confirmed my lower back was locking and going into spasm. After giving Robin information about a long term knee problem, he worked out I was weight bearing onto my right side to avoid pressure on my left knee, which was aggravating my lower back. I was given successful treatments on my lower back but was told this would be only a temporary solution. Robin suggested we address the main problem – my left knee.
I was very sceptical at first – I’ve had constant knee pain for the past 9 years. I have seen numerous physiotherapists, none of which have made any difference. I’d almost accepted the fact that I was going to have to live with the pain.
However, Robin started the treatment and to my amazement, very quickly, I noticed a difference to my knee. I started to feel a lot more stable, more confident, a lot less pain – I was even able to walk without my knee giving way. My quality of life has changed dramatically.
I have started skipping, playing tennis and even dancing, which I haven’t been able to do in 9 years. My lower back has also been fine. Thanks Robin!
I had severe lower back pain, with chronic stiffness around my neck and middle back when I first saw Robin. I’d had problems with my back on and off for nearly 20 years but after the birth of my first child, it seemed to get considerably worse.
I was desperate to find an osteopath locally and quickly and came across Robin.
Robin wasted no time in diagnosing the cause of the pain and started me on a course of treatment. Very soon I was feeling better than I had for literally years.
His skill, warmth and attention made a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Robin to anyone – and in fact I have done so already several times.
I was referred to Robin by another osteopath when I developed soreness after a slight twist at work. By the time I first visited him, I could barely make it up the flight of stairs, such was the growing and acute pain in my lower back and hip. After one treatment, I was 80% better and a week later I was snowboarding.
He has spotted potential future problems and I feel more comfortable seeing him regularly in an attempt to prevent those injuries that are showing more with each year. I’ve already recommended him to friends.
I first came to see Robin Kiashek because I had put my back out a few years ago. I came back last Autumn as I had a lot of pain in my left hand – I found it difficult to change the gears when I was driving and I was in constant pain. I also started to get stiffness and pain in my right hand. In despair, I came to see Robin who said it was related to my neck.
After the first treatment, it was immediately considerably better and has continued to become so. I am no longer in pain and although I do get sometimes stiffness in one thumb, I do exercises which Robin gave me which help.
I am a very grateful patient and feel that my life has been enhanced by the work Robin did on my neck. Thank you
… I was first treated by Robin Kiashek two years ago for headaches and tiredness. Robin used Cranial Osteopathy to successfully alleviate these symptoms. I have been seeing Robin periodically since that time and have found his holistic, sympathetic approach to treatment to be highly beneficial.
He diagnosed TMJ (temperomandibular joint – a joint hinging the upper and lower jaw bones) dysfunction as a principle cause of my symptoms. This was confirmed by a dentist and further by a consultant neurologist. I have also suffered a number of physical injuries, for example: badly bruised ribs, a ‘cricked’ neck and very recently a skiing injury to my neck and shoulders. In each case, Robin has been able to mitigate the pain, relieve the symptoms and hasten the recovery. I would highly recommend Robin based on my experience to anyone needing osteopathic treatment.
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
