Osteopathy
Osteopathy at our Kingston practice addresses musculoskeletal pain and mobility issues through hands-on techniques. We treat back pain, neck pain, and joint problems by improving circulation, restoring joint function, and strengthening supporting structures. Our approach combines structural assessment with functional movement analysis to resolve both symptoms and underlying causes.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy accelerates healing for chronic tendon injuries and muscle pain without surgery. This non-invasive treatment stimulates blood flow, reduces pain, and promotes tissue repair for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and frozen shoulder. Combined with osteopathy, it delivers faster recovery for sports and overuse injuries.
Sports Massage
Sports massage targets muscle tension and injury recovery through deep tissue techniques. It removes metabolic waste post-exercise, prevents injuries by improving flexibility, and complements osteopathic treatment for faster rehabilitation of strains, sprains, and overuse conditions in active individuals.
Medical Acupuncture
Medical acupuncture reduces pain by targeting myofascial trigger points with fine needles. This technique releases muscle knots, stimulates natural painkillers, and improves circulation. Integrated with osteopathy, it effectively manages chronic pain, headaches, and musculoskeletal conditions like sciatica and shoulder impingement.
Remote Consultations
Remote consultations provide accessible osteopathic advice via video call. Ideal for post-treatment follow-ups or initial assessments during restrictions, this service includes movement analysis, pain management strategies, and customised exercise prescriptions to maintain progress from home.

I went to see Hugo as I had developed both Upper and Lower Back Pain that had built up over time. The pain was inhibiting me from playing golf comfortably, as well as running. Hugo was able to quickly identify the source of the pain and apply treatment as well as giving me some exercises to take away and work on daily. Along talking me through the exercises in person, Hugo also provided video links to the exercises which were very handy and were there as a resource to call upon if/when needed. To be able to identify, manage and treat the source of the back pain has greatly help me to continue the

I had suffered with lower back ache for a couple of years and seen a chiropractor, a sports masseuse and through the NHS had a back X-ray. Nothing seemed to help and Id pretty much been told it was something, due to my age, that Id have to learn to live with and manage. Not willing to accept that I sought a treatment with Hugo. In the initial consultation Hugo undertook a full body assessment which is when he noticed my right hip was very tight and suspected my lower back was taking over and doing the work the hip should be doing which was why it was getting over used and tired, tight and

I went to Hugo with extreme back pain and am thoroughly pleased with the treatment I received. Hugo was brilliant at not only treating me during my visits, but also providing me with exercises to do at home to keep the pain at bay. Can't recommend enough.

I am pregnant and I was suffering with sciatica really badly - to the point I wasn’t able to walk. I found Hugo and he treated me. He is a very knowledgable professional and passionate about what he does. He understand the mechanics of the body really well and he use different approaches to help find a solution to the main problem. In my case he… also used some medical acupuncture that was helping release the tension of my muscles. He also offers great exercises to help you prevent and continue with your own practice. Very honest and professional. Highly recommended!

I had a month of severe lower back and hip pain prior to my appointment with Hugo. Tried sports massages, another osteo and acupuncture and nothing helped. I don't know what Hugo did exactly but I felt almost completely right the moment I walked out of the treatment room! Highly recommended!

I have had chronic pain for 2 years before seeing Hugo. I had tried many things: physiotherapy, lumbar injection, acupuncture and massage. Some worked to a certian extent but I always reached a point in which they were not improving things further. Hugo, on top of alleviating my symptoms with some very good treatments, clearly explained what my main problem was and introduced me to some exercises that did magic. I'm not still a"normal" person but my life has improved massively and I will never thank him enough.
