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!read more

During a recent visit back home (London) from the Middle East I suddenly found myself in much pain radiating from my neck to the scapular area having sustained some sort of injury when stretching. Totally restricted movement and the thought of being like this on a long haul flight I contacted Osteopathy Partnership (Hugo). I was seen same day and accommodated at a time that was most convenient for myself. What a marvellous professional genius this man is... after an hour of manipulation, stretches and exercises I was finally able to move again. Truly thankful and can thoroughly recommend this highly professional establishment. Keep up the excellent work Hugo!! Will certainly see you again soon! Regards Scott 🙏😊read more

I went to Hugo with severe knee pain about two weeks before I was due to go to Rome for a cycling sportive. At the time, I was barely managing to do five miles without pain - and this had been going on for months. Thanks to Hugo’s treatment, I was able to do (and enjoy) the bike race. I am now doing his exercises every day, and am back to the same level of training as before the injury. Thanks Hugo! Would highly recommend!read more

I had lost the feeling in my little finger and had put it down to too much gym. Hugo worked out that it was actually caused by my right hip! After two sessions I had all the feeling back and was moving much more easily than before. A really nice man to work with who doesn't try to keep you going for sessions that are not needed which I really appreciated.read more

Following an unsuccessful trip to my GP with severe back pain (take pain killers and rest) I contacted Hugo who saw me straight away. I left my first session with a diagnosis and a plan for the next week on how to ease the pain. Subsequent sessions were all extremely useful and I still use the prescribed exercises as warm ups for any sporting activity. Hugo is friendly, professional and very approachable and I can thoroughly recommend his practice.read more

Brilliant! ...and I'm an expert osteopathic patient - having had to visit an awful lot of osteopaths in the past! Fantastic advice, training and support. Hugo's exercises have really helped me to take control of improving my own back. I still have a long way to go as I need to correct the bad postural habits of a lifetime! It is never too late to improve, and I can really feel the benefits of daily exercises that are slowly helping me to unlock my jammed mid-back. The videos are really useful too. Jillread more

Hugo is a very skilled osteopath. I had a frozen shoulder that I had been battling with for over a year, with various treatments from the NHS and it was still getting progressively worse. I saw Hugo early this year, around March. After about 10 sessions, I had 85% of movement back in my shoulder, I had resumed work, the constant chronic pain, that was my normal, had stopped. And when I saw the NHS consultant on my next follow up, he said to me "if any of my patients, after surgery, had the movement in their shoulder that you do, I'd be happy." And with that he discharged me. Hugo has given me my work life back. And now about 3 1/2 months later, my shoulder has continued to heal. With the recommended at home exercises that Hugo give, I now have about 98% of movement back in my shoulder. I have resumed my life. Thanks Hugoread more

I came to Mr Firth with a hip condition that was ccausing restricted movement in my right hip, the result of an over enthusiastic weight training regime. Mr Firth gave me an expert assessment and diagnosis and manipulted the hip back into position and it has caused me no further problems. He provided an empathetic, knowledgable and articulate explanation and a service that provided first rate results.read more

Hugo is a great Osteopath and I couldn’t recommend him enough. During our first session he listened and assessed what my issues were, probably not dissimilar to many people who work from home, I was having terrible neck and back pain. He worked on some problem areas, ending the session with suggested exercises I could continue at home to ensure I was resolving the root cause of my issues. There was no pressure to book in ongoing sessions, we agreed to revisit after a couple of weeks should I feel the issue wasn’t resolved. After just one session I noticed a big difference, and I have only returned to keep me on track with resolving my issues. Thank you Hugo!

Practical, professional osteo treatment with a detailed set of exercise videos to work on at home. I’ve been very impressed with the treatment from Hugo.

I had been suffering with agonising lower back pain for about a week and a colleague recommended I see an Osteopath. I saw that Hugo was highly rated and booked an appointment for the next day. From the first consultation Hugo knew what the issue was and gave me faith and reassurance that he would be able to fix it and he did exactly that! Hugo was incredibly thorough at each appointment, working to solve the issue and providing me with exercises. Three weeks later, the pain has completely gone and I feel able to start running again. If you are suffering with pain, I would highly recommend you go to see Hugo.Thank you again Hugo!

Hugo recently treated me for a painful back problemUnable to stand up straightQuickly sorted this out , and now am right as rainHugo is an excellent Osteopath , always helpful and friendlyand would recommend Hugo to anyone who needs an Osteopath

I would definitely recommend osteopathy treatment with Hugo. A professional yet friendly approach in a comfortable clinical setting. Hugo was prompt with admin requests and emailed video clips of home exercises as a well needed prompt!

The treatment by Hugo Firth has been effective. The sessions and exercises have proved extremely beneficial, enabling me to return to sport activities. By following his advice this has been possible. I would highly recommend Hugo if you are looking for a professional and effective osteopath

When I initially sough treatment from Hugo for lower back pain, I was in excruciating discomfort. However, after undergoing four therapy sessions under his expert care, I experienced a remarkable improvement. The lower back pain I had been enduring decreased significantly, by an impressive 90%.allowing me to regain my mobility and resume my daily activities with ease. Hugo's skill and dedication have truly made a substantial deference in my well-being, and I couldn't be more grateful for his exceptional osteopathic care.

Hugo helped me to recover from back pain with a combination of in person sessions and at home exercises spread over a number of weeks. I received links to videos demonstrating each exercise and the correct technique. This helped greatly. Hugo was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend his services.

Hugo at the Osteopathy Partnership has been my osteopath for more than 5 years.I usually am problem free thanks to the home/office exercises he provides to help maintain mobility and prevent problems reoccurring.He is very knowledgeable and generous with his advice. In my recent "MOT" visit I told him I had taken up running and as expected after he had finished the treatment, he showed me new exercises to warm up before my run and others to help strengthen key muscles to improve my stride, running form and performance. Hugo is my go to osteopath and his continued support for my musculoskeletal health is second to none. I warmly recommend him to who ever needs an osteopath in the Kingston area.

I've been to see Hugo a few times now and always the same result - relief! Hugo gets to the krux of the issue quickly without jargon or fuss and works at 'fixing' you - quick. I also like the fact that he also does not push for multiple sessions like some i have seen in the past rather allows you to see how you feel and judge for yourself if you need further treatment. Hope I never have to go back but if I do I know I'm in good hands. Literally.

I have no hesitation in recommending Hugo. I have always found him to be immensely encouraging and understanding of my health issues with a cheery can do attitude. Hugo has been a great help with my mobiilty issues and the difference he has made to my posture has been nothing short of astounding! Julia

Suffering from back and neck pain, I have recently had 3 sessions with Hugo which have significantly helped. He has also been great in following up with videos of specific exercises. Would throughly recommend Hugo

He literally saved my life. The first day I arrive in the studio I could barely walk and move because of sciatica and after only three visits I feel WAY better. You're an amazing doc!

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 I’d pretty much been told it was something, due to my age, that I’d 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 aching.In that first treatment he worked on my right leg and hip loosing it all off and gave me a set of exercises to do daily.From that day on my lower back ache has got better and better to the point that it’s pretty much gone.After just one treatment!We did have a follow up but just to make sure the hip stayed loose and I was doing the correct movements for the exercises I’d been given.Based on that I couldn’t recommend Hugo enough and hope others get to benefit from his insight as much as I have.

Hugo is a consummate professional - he’s taken the time to explain the treatment plan for a recent sports injury, and regular visits (and following the homework he has set!) have contributed to an accelerated recovery. One very satisfied customer here!

I went to see Hugo with acute back pain and sciatica which was seriously hindering an active lifestyle. Hugo helped explain what was happening and the reasons why it simple terms that I could easily understand and the recovery started almost immediately. After a few weeks and a few treatments I'm now back to enjoying sport as before armed with everything I need to understand how to stop the onset of back and muscular pain and improve recovery in general. Hopefully I don't have need for an osteopath again but if I do I will definitely be returning to Hugo!

I was recommended to Hugo by a friend having given up with a different Osteo I went to previously. Greatly appreciated the time taken to discuss and understand, with pain relief massage and 'miracle' acupuncture that really works, but most important is the simplest of quick and easy hip flexor exercises has made a massive difference to my back along with an ongoing programme of strengthening and lengthening. Highly recommended!

I've had long running back problems and finally decided to do something about it. Hugo was not only fantastic at relieving immediate pain but also provided a wide range of practical exercises to try and sort the issues out over the longer term. Definitely recommend!

I went to see Hugo a few weeks ago suffering with pain in my ankle and lower back. I was really worried about the long term impact of a very flat and rolling in foot. Hugo took time and care to listen to me and carefully establish what was ‘going on’. After explaining what the issues were and taking me through some simple exercises and advice, I went away and was amazed at the almost immediate relief and improvements. Within a few weeks I am pain free and feel confident in how I can help my body moving forwards. Hugo’s professionalism and kind encouragement have been such a boost for my physical and metal wellbeing. I can’t recommend his services highly enough.

Prior to seeing Hugo, I've had no experience with osteopathic treatment. My introduction was excellent. I saw Hugo for problems I had with my lower back and neck/shoulder post an operation. The combination of massage and gentle adjustments worked like a charm. The pain was relieved and my general movements improved. I could run pain free for the first time in months. Hugo also provided exercises I could do to improve weak areas which improved my running form and meant I could go for longer without the pain I experienced before. On top of the treatment, Hugo is a pleasure as a person and made me feel comfortable. Would highly recommend you pay him a visit for any niggles.

Hugo is a superb Osteo and a pleasure to visit. The work done during the sessions has alleviated acute pain due to an old injury, and the exercises provided to perform in between sessions has helped to maintain mobility. I would highly recommend Hugo.

Superb professional practice. Hugo is extremely helpful, calm, gets swiftly to the root of the problem and offers clear guidance for exercises. Thoroughly recommended.

Brilliant personalised care taking into account my particular health concerns. Very friendly and safe environment for the treatment. If only I’d known about this earlier!!! 100% recommend

I went to see Hugo with a knee problem. In the initial consultation he was able to diagnose the specifics (a medial collateral ligament strain if you're interested). He was able to relax the problem with light massage and suggest corrective exercises going forward (which he explains extremely clearly and sends videos to ensure you know what you're doing). Despite the issue being a typically 6 - 8 week problem, Hugo asked me to visit just three times - each time building and developing the relevant exercises and offering ever greater clarity as to what was happening with the injury and in the knee, as well as massaging other areas that were tightening due to the knee issue. I was extremely satisfied with his excellent work and would hugely recommend the Osteopathy Partnership to anyone with any sort of problem which requires osteopathy treatment.

Thorough assessment and professional treatment in a relaxed environment. Fantastic follow up and advice via email.

I was referred to Hugo by my golf instructor as I had a bad shoulder. I had a very good course of treatment over a month from Hugo who is experienced with golf injuries. I am back to golf with full movement of the shoulder & would highly recommend Hugo.

I had a hip flexor problem. Hugo was really good. He treating my problem. Giving me exercises to do and it's working it getting better. Thanks so much Hugo.

I am so pleased to have found Hugo. I have seen him for a couple of issues and both times he has got straight to the cause. The treatment provided and the exercises passed to me have erradicated the pain. He provides clear explanation throughout.

Hugo is a great osteopath who has helped me and my wife with neck, back and knee pain over the last 5 years. Not only he knows the anatomy of human body well, but also he clearly explains to you what should be done at home to fix your problem.Even now, when we live far from Hugo's practice, we travel to see him whenever we have pain in our body as we are sure about the quality of the treatment.

Hugo has really helped with my lower back pain, thank you Hugo!

Very knowledable and helpful advice. Highly recommend.

Hugo creates a welcoming environment and has been able to help me with both my back and jaw problems. I would highly recommend!

Hugo is one of the best health professionals I have come across. Since he resolved my RSI, many years ago, he has been my first port of call for any type of pull or strain. He is very profession & personable and you can trust him to only recommend the right number of sessions…which don’t tend to be many with Hugo.I also choose to have a preventative check up twice a year. It is not the sort of thing I have ever done before but he’s so good I think it’s money well spent!

Hugo is amazing. He has literally got me back up and running, and done what 6 months of physio had failed to do, all in just 3 sessions. Would highly recommend.

I came to see Hugo as I was suffering from tennis elbow. I had a very good course of treatment over a number of weeks including some shock wave therapy. This has helped significantly. Thanks Hugo. Would highly recommend.

Incredibly lucky that I came across Hugo. Extremely knowledgeable, kind, diligent and most of all determined to get to root of the issue.

I first met Hugo a couple of years ago when I had sever pain across my shoulders from breastfeeding and since then he's helped me reset my posture with simple exercises that easily fit into my day. He is no pressure,relaxed and very professional. I'd highly recommend his service,his clinic is clean and smart.

Hugo was simply fantastic! Went to him after getting a football injury and he has helped me massively. Would highly recommend!

My husband recommended Hugo as he recently helped him recover from a total knee replacement operation.Hugo was able to explain why my hip and lower back were in pain and provided a treatment programme that included specific exercises that strengthened and stretched relevant muscles.Hugo showed me how to do the exercises and provided helpful video links for me to follow. Thanks to Hugo I am now pain free.Margot Thornton

I've been to Hugo over a few years with different issues and he always explains everything clearly, gets to the root of the problem and provides me with exercises to help in the future. Highly recommend going to Hugo for whatever you need!

Very professionalArrived unable to take weight on one leg. Immediate relief of acute pain then over the next few days gradual relief of chronic pain. Highly recommended

Hugo helped me through a difficult period post COVID double frozen shoulder and was an emotional and physical crutch. Using Neil Asher technique to get me pain free and then movement back very glad to have found Hugo can't recommend enough.

Hugo was very helpful with regards to my sacro-illiac pain, it was excruciating when I first saw him but the gentle exercises and stretches he recommended all helped. He is knowledgeable, professional and gave very useful advice. His gentle, practical approach looking at the 'whole' person rather than just the injury also really helped at a time when the pain was debilitating. The rehab exercises he gave me, continue to help. He really listened and tailored the exercises to my needs. Would highly recommend Hugo.

I highly recommend Hugo. He provided me with great support and help when I hurt my lower back. He really listened and tailored my treatment and exercises. Without him my recovery would have taken much longer.

Hugo helped me tremendously during a nasty bout of sciatic and also provided sound advice on how to ensure my body is more resilient in the future.Jon

Would definitely recommend this practice, all treatment explained and followed up thoroughly…..

I cannot recommend Hugo enough. He is a great professional and superb at what he does. I have full confidence in his treatment and love the exercises he shares. He has your health as his key concern and I’m always think I should have gone sooner when I leave.
