I was referred to Richard Lorde by my personal trainer for a sports injury I incurred. At the time, I was involved with running as well as training with a personal trainer twice a week. I had severe lower back and hip pain. I believe I was very lucky to have Richard as my doctor. Throughout my treatment I underwent various different techniques of treatment including manipulation, acupuncture, deep pressure massages. In addition to this, Richard worked with my trainer to ensure that I could continue training without causing any further injury or further pain. Richard assisted me in getting further tests completed quickly as well as analyzing those tests on my behalf. His assistance in my recovery has ensured that I have been diagnosed and am in the process of recovering from my injury and, most importantly, am able to continue to train in a manner without pain. I am able to move and walk painlessly and I am deeply thankful to Richard Lorde for his assistance in my recovery.

My name is Sofie Langsford and I'm a professional MMA fighter. I recently competed in my professional MMA debut fight. During the fight I was injured across my back and shoulders and left with very limited movement and even found it hard to sleep. I've never visited a physiotherapist before but was advised strongly by a previous client when he saw how injured I was. He said the treatment was fast and effective and this is what I was after as I needed to return back to training promptly. At first I planned to go to a cheaper physio, but due to the strong recommendation I went to Richard. After only 3 sessions of treatment I'm so glad I did. Even after the first session my ability to move changed dramatically. Richards use of acupuncture and what he described as mad science, pin pointed the injury and relieved it. I honestly couldn't believe the difference I was astounded. I plan to visit Richard again for further treatment to keep my body in good condition as I train regularly at high intensity. I've recommend Richard to many of my friends as I believe his work is very impressive and worth every penny.

I am an epee fencer and I am currently 8th in the GB rankings. I compete internationally for GB at World Cups, and have done so for the last 7 years. In 2014, I competed for England at the Fencing Commonwealth’s and won a bronze medal in the team event. I am also an exercise physiologist, and use my knowledge to help understand my training for fencing. My strength and conditioning coach who I am working with recommended Richard to me when I was having some problems with my back, which was limiting my movement. Richard has significantly helped the situation and I am able to move a lot more fluidly now. He also gave good exercises to help prevent it from occurring again. I have seen a few chiropractors and physios in recent times, but Richard’s treatment was by far the best for me. I would recommend him without doubt to others, especially those who are athletes as he has a vast understanding of sport.

I was recommended to use Richard by my daughter Marcia Robinson exclusive distributor of O Bag Uk. I was visiting the UK to see my family and had to have wheelchair assistance when I got off the plane. My feet and joints were in such pain and I struggled to walk very far without resting. I booked several sessions with Richard and after a fews days of my first session I started to get incredible pain relief. Richard explained really clearly what my issues were, and was honest about what was treatable and what was deterioration because of my age (74). I returned to Richard throughout my vacation and he was the reason I was able to make the most of my trip pain free and was able to take home practical exercises to help my movement when I returned home.

My name is Zilvanas Akranglis. I met Richard at the new gym I joined. As during a heavy training load I injured my back injury. It was extremely painful for days I could walk normally. Richard found problem with ease and gave me few treatments of acupuncture. After the first one I was able to stand and sit back normally and after second I was fixed completely.
I am very thankful to Richard and I am recommending him to all my friends and clients I train.I am confident andnot scared of injury anymore, because I have Richard.

My name is Karin Soiref and I have been having back pains for the past 2 years. The pain was not clear to me to where it was located. Sometimes it was very near to the spine which made me think that there is something wrong with my posture. My friend which constantly attends the gym (cannot remember the exact name of the area) suggested me to go see Richard. As I was not sure of what kind of condition I was going through, Richard helped me solve it shortly. We had exactly two treatments, including back messages and acupuncture. Richard gave me different exercises to do in my own time to improve my posture. After those two treatments, I forgot about the pain once and for good.
Richard is a great physician and I recommend him to anyone that is going through back problem. He will locate your pain area without mentioning it to him.
Thanks for your help Richard

My name is James Walton,I initially met Richard at virgin active in Peterborough where I had a course of personal training sessions with him. Richard was very thorough with his information and strict with my diet which I needed as I wanted to tone my physique. The way Richard worked with me was different to any other personal trainer, he really cared and often called as a friend to see how everything was going and to give more advice on anything I wasn't totally clear on. I had weight trained for over 10 years and got into good shape but Richard gave me a lot better results by showing me different ways to define the muscles with explosive movements i.e. incorporating jumping and stretching which surprisingly to me made a massive difference. I then moved down to London and bumped into Richard again about 6 years later, by this time Richard had his own set up on Harley street as a musculoskeletal physiotherapist where I went and had my muscles aligned and acupuncture. This took away a little bit of pain I had in my right shoulder which helped my training as I was struggling with my shoulder presses. I asked for Richards help again to get back into the shape I had previously been in through his routines and yet again they worked really well. I recommended him to a work friend that had terrible neck pain that nobody could cure so I asked him to go and see Richard at his practice for advise, my friend came back into work with his neck feeling a lot better and I'm told is playing football again with no pain at all. Richard is a great guy that is fantastic at what he does, I find it hard to stick to anything especially diets and training routines but Richard has a way of keeping you focused so therefore you get the results you need for whatever you want whether its sport, perfect nutrition or just to look great on the beach.

When Richard asked me for testimonial, I thought to myself how do you describe when you buy into someone’s personality, Richard not only sold me his brand as a person but he sold me a journey, the pain he caused was worth it and because I know what the process would be I knew I would be okay and the aftercare made me feel like it’s never about the money with Richard, He loves what he does and I bought into the love and not the pain

I first went to see Richard, because I was suffering from chronic pain in my right shoulder blade, which I injured in the gym. The injury was causing severe pain throughout my back, numbness in my hand and making sleep very difficult. I had already had a number of sessions with two chiropractors and acupuncture at a Chinese therapist, all to no avail, then a friend recommended Richard.
Within minutes of the initial consultation and treatment, it was clear that Richard loves his work and I was impressed that he always makes sure that he explains his findings and reason behind each treatment.
After the first session, the tension and tightness was dramatically reduced and within a week of the third session, with the exercises he gave me, the pain had completely gone. Richard is a consummate osteopath and I would definitely recommend him.

During the 2012 London Olympic Games, Richard Lorde was working on some of the world’s top athletes, however he had found the time to diagnose a 48 year old ex club athlete accurately, a torn and wasted left labarum. This led to a Birmingham Hip Resurface where Richard took the responsibility for my recovery plan and had me up on my feet within the six weeks, not only that, he also devised a training plan for me which meant that by my six month check up, the Consultant was so impressed with my progress, that he commented I was moving so naturally, you would not be aware that I had the operation.
I am grateful to Richard for his support both before the diagnosis and after the operation, he keeps an interest in my wellbeing, has progressed my fitness program and it feels like he has given me back a few years. Having been worked on by Dr. Craig Benedict (ex Santa Monica, US and Carl Lewis – Physio), whilst I was still competing, I can say that Richard offers the same degree of treatment and concern for his patients, no matter what their motivation is for treatment is.

I was fortunate enough to meet Richard when I had hit a plateau with my gym efforts. I was a keen fitness fan but had started to run out of steam and just didnt know what else to do to get the results I wanted and because of this started to feel demotivated. Richard started training me once a week and in a short space of time I could see the results. He understood what I wanted to achieve and how to get there. Richard's style was firm but fair. He knew how hard to push me. I didn't even realise I had it in me! I can honestly say I've never before or since worked with such a knowledgeable and dedicated trainer.

I have only worked out with Richard once, but even in that session I was able recognize the differences he could make in my life if I worked out with him regularly.
The workout itself was very challenging and tailored to my specific needs. It was after the workout that I realized the benefits of training with Richard. He is a qualified physiotherapist so the stretching and recovery session was just as beneficial as the workout itself. He was able to release the tension in my problem areas which provided immediate relief. In addition, Richard has an in depth knowledge of nutrition and was able to give me diet advice to complement my exercise regime. I can say without a doubt he is one of the best!

My name is Charlotte Boland and I am a 22 year old Loughborough University graduate. I had been suffering from an unstable ankle for many years due to an excessive amount of high impact sport (hockey, netball, sprinting). In 2014, whilst competing at university in a 100m relay, I ruptured the tendons and ligaments in my ankle, subsequently requiring ankle reconstruction surgery. Post-operation, I received poor and infrequent physio back at home. When at my university gym, it was recommended to me by the gym owner that I visit Richard for some intensive and high quality rehabilitation for my ankle. Richard spent time understanding my injury and the best methods for a successful recovery. He used a variety of techniques and took time to explain the benefits that these had and ensured that he could see me once or twice a week. 10 weeks on I am able to run 10km without any pain and have started to introduce hill sprints into my training, as well as beginning my training for a tough mudder event later this year. I would highly recommend Richard due to his knowledge, expertise and passion for delivering high quality treatment to his clients. I have since recommended him to a friend also suffering from a sporting injury.

My name is Rytis Akranglis, I’m a manager in the gym, personal trainer, bodybuilder and life enthusiast work hard, train hard and my free time is always active (not a couch and TV person), so my life is extremely busy. My fast life has side effects – tiredness, muscle tightness, and injuries. But thank God I met Richard! He’s my no. 1 solution to all my muscle, joint, stress, and bone problems. Muscle tightness – sorted, pulled biceps – sorted, sore back – sorted, tennis elbow, pulled neck and many more – sorted. I would recommend Richard to anyone who have any issues in your body and to those who not. Sometimes we live without even knowing that we can feel better every day. Thank Richard

I know Richard form university days and know how much effort and time he puts in enhancing and honing his skills as a therapist. This led me to partner up with him and refer him my clients who come from both recreational and pro athlete backgrounds.
I myself always seek his therapeutic intervention to help me treat my injuries as a result of heavy training and playing contact sports (rugby and mixed martial arts). I had a huge relief from Richards session to treat my lower back pain due to playing rugby.
I highly recommend Richard's work to anyone seeking a professional physical therapist with incredible work ethics.

I am a sports coach and competitive athlete. I compete in a strength sport with a high volume and high intensity workload, as such I have suffered a few overuse injuries in my career. I first met Richard in 2013 when, at the age of 25 my workload was really starting to make my tired, sore and an old shoulder injury and knee injury both started to get really aggravated and interfered with my training and my profession.
Richard was recommended to me by a friend who had seen several physiotherapists in the past prior to Richard about a very restrictive back injury, but with no avail. He claimed that Richard however had made massive improvements in his health and wellbeing.
I can personally attest to Richards knowledge, skill and quality, he is head and shoulders above all other physiotherapists and health professionals I have either worked with or been treated by. He fixed the pain I was feeling in my knee and shoulder and traced it back to a muscular/tissue imbalance and helped me to correct it with manual therapy, acupuncture, electro-acupuncture and rehabilitation exercises. I feel indebted to Richard as since his treatment I have not any problems since and my strength performance has improved.

My name is Philippe Armbruster I’m a typical weekend warrior who tries to stay as active as possible – cycling, running, weights and boxing training after a long week in the office.
A few years ago I had a major knee injury, which required multiple surgeries. Since then I’ve had a tendency of gradually developing in-balances while performing sports probably because I’m putting more weight on the good leg without noticing it.Letting this happen over the years led to me having a bad posture (dropping one shoulder,
leaning to one side while standing).
I went to see Osteopaths, Chiropractors and Physiotherapists whose treatment improved the situation, but after a week or two I reverted back to my bad posture

My name is Philippa Hare, I am an active 59 year old. I went to see Richard on recommendation, suffering from a painful right knee that was only getting worse with exercise. Richard took time to explain how the knee muscles work and why the pain was occurring, and identified that the left knee was going in the same direction and would soon be causing me similar problems if left untreated. His massage of both quads was hard, bringing out a number of muscle knots, but provided immediate relief and relaxation to the affected areas. He went on to suggest appropriate exercises to strengthen glute, quad and hamstring muscles, as well as recommending suitable dietary changes.
The massage and the regular exercises have quickly reduced my knee pain and improved the strength of the relevant muscles. I have felt enormous benefit since seeing Richard and strongly recommend him. His knowledge and understanding of how the human body works, especially for those who are highly active, is extremely helpful and his root cause analysis, partly through massage, is invaluable.

My Name is Luke Harrods I am a professional athlete Ex National Level Swimmer and for the past 8 years been training as Thai Boxer.Muay Thai is also used as a form of close-combat using your entire body as a weapon. For example, The hands become the sword or the dagger; the shins and forearms are trained to be like armor so you can defend yourself against heavy blows and the elbow is related to a heavy mace or hammer; the legs and knees are the axe or a staff so the martial art that I am in, comes with consequences. I got to know Richard a year ago in a business manor at the facilities where we both operate from.
My first encounter with Richards services was when I turned up to work limping and in agony and was offered a curtesy check-up. As a day before while sparring with a UK heavy weight champion (my coach) and missing few heavy blows to my leg I struggled to move about. My heavy leg injury put me out of action running and training all together for days. Richard understood that I needed to continue training while having treatment and I was able to walk without limping after my first Physio and acupuncture treatment. Could not recommend him enough as I to the date call him a ‘Miracle Worker’.

My Name is Nilesh Lakha, Richard Lorde came highly recommended by a friend from London who also has been treated with great results by Richard.
I visited Richard Lorde at my most vulnerable – I was in pain. Richard addressed not only my pain, but my body as a whole. His energy, knowledge, and gentle approach made me stronger and feeling better sooner than anticipated. The service, caring and the professional approach is second to none.

Lower back pain
Richard is a highly skilled physiotherapist whose expert knowledge is well beyond standard. Indeed Richard would be my first port of call for advice on any muscular / skeletal issue - his treatment regimes are always effective in my experience. However if he feels other medical advice / input is necessary he will say so. Since Richard has been treating me, my back ache has eased, my body has improved in its natural alignment and I feel better as my body feels better.
I have every confidence in recommending Richard. He combines extensive clinical experience, with an in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, pathology and the evidence base, to provide effective individualised treatment of musculoskeletal problems and sports injuries.

I had endured a self diagnosed ‘sciatic’ pain in my left glute for many years, which finally became so severe it stopped me carrying out routine functions. I was recommended to Richard Lorde by a family member who talked in glowing terms about his ability to look deeper than just the short term remedy, but explore the long term ‘cause’ and thus provide a holistic approach to controlling the problem.
After a lengthy initial consultation in which all aspects of my legacy health “issues” were covered off, Richard started his programme to alleviate the “pain” and educate me on the avoidance strategies to decrease the likelihood of reoccurrence. Through a process of stretch, massage and acupuncture (not without some gentle screams), we reached a place where I could fully return to playing competitive sports at the tender age of 50.
The cerebral aspects of the treatment remain with me too, as I now follow a simple process, both pre and post exercise, to ensure I keep the sciatic pain controlled.
I have no hesitation in recommended Richard as a knowledgeable, dynamic and holistic practitioner, who has an exceptional calming and gentle manner. A true professional!

In mixed martial arts it’s very easy to get injuries they could be ones that you can train around or they can be injuries that put you out for a long time.
Around 2 months ago during a training session I injured my knee. At the time I was quite concerned as I was preparing for myMMA Amateur fight in 3 weeks but my coach told me not to worry as he was being treated by Richard and would ask if he could take a look at it.
As soon as Richard came he done a full assessment of my injury. He asked how I done it, what hurts and how does it feel when I move it in certain positions. He then told me what I had done to it. He started my treatment straight away this consisted of finding trigger points and acupuncture, instantly after my first session of treatment I could feel some improvements,
After 2 treatments I was back to normal my knee was healed and I felt confident and ready to go and perform in my fight.....
I would like to say a big thank you to Richard for the time he has spent treating me and getting me injury free and back to being fight ready

I was introduce to Richard, through a current client/ patient/ friend. The reason I was introduce I had a sport injury previously but never continue with the physical rebuild of my injury so I would continuous feel pain and have walking difficulties.
Once I was introduce to Richard. We discussed a lengthy back ground of my injury and pass medical information.
Richard put me through many exercises and stretches to do continually to get me on the road to recovery. My physical state has improved as a result to Richard care and I can continue with sport and my day to day without discomfort.
I would recommend this service to anybody who has current/old injuries. Very helpful and friendly service.

I am a Beauty Therapist who is constantly on my feet all day, leaning over clients and performing treatments has taken its toll on my back over the years, I also train at the gym using mainly heavy weights so my body is under regular strain. I first heard about Richard through my husband as he had a slipped disc in his back a while back and had amazing recovery results after having Physio with him. Richard is extremely professional, instantly putting you at ease and really listening to your needs, a sincere guy who really goes the extra mile to make you feel better and relieving any pain you have......then the magic happens! The way he understands the body is incredible and he really takes his time to get to the root of the problem, his treatment and advice has worked wonders. I really can't thank him enough for his dedication and time with us. I have tried quite a few physios in my time but no one has compared to him. He is the Anatomy and Physiology guru and master and I would highly recommend seeing him for any troubles you have. Top guy, top treatment, top service and advice........My back never felt so good!

"I came to Richard after over a year of back pain which kept me from heavy lower body weights, rugby and most physical activity. Richard did a fantastic job of rapidly getting to the root of the problem and his aggressive treatment made a huge difference in a surprisingly short amount of time."

I came to work with Richard after suffering a disc bulge (L5/S1) in 2013. As a collision sport athlete I have found his expertise and hands on ability invaluable in keeping me healthy and in fixing multiple injuries that I have suffered such as a torn right shoulder, patella pain and groin tear from my sport. Working with Richard has significantly reduced my recovery time from my setbacks. He quickly identifies the problems at hand and finds the source of the injury/pain with great efficiency. I would highly recommend his service to any athlete or non-athlete who requires injury prevention, injury treatment or any kind of physiotherapy.

I was introduced to Richard through friends who had raved about him as a therapist (not sure if that’s the right word for you...?) and with ongoing injuries that was hindering my training I was keen to get my ongoing issues resolved once and for all! I had seen many different therapists over the years such as physios and chiropractors but felt that my injuries were not getting treated only mildly relived month by month.
Even though Richard was working 45 miles away from me, his recommendation came so highly I booked an appointment with him with the hope that he would be able to offer some effective treatment. During my first appointment I was completely blown away by Richard’s extensive knowledge. He offered insight in to my injuries and looked at my problem as a well-rounded therapist, analysing my problem using his knowledge as a physio, acupuncture and xxx. I instantly felt better and left Richard that day knowing that I was in safe hands. My shoulder treatment required a few appointments to correct but I felt such confidence in Richard that I did not mind travelling the 90-mile round trip to get it resolved!
Richard not only offered great relief to my injury but also educated me with my training and offered solutions to problems I was facing in the gym. With being out of training for a while and an upcoming wedding as a bridesmaid, I was keen to get in to shape quickly but without causing myself any harm in the gym! Richard was fantastic in showing me exercises I could manage taking in to account all of my injuries. He showed me how to progress my training and offered nutritional advice to ensure that I would meet my end goal of looking great! Richard not only offered me all this valuable information but also was on call to motivate and encourage me when things weren’t going too well and checked in with every week to see how my goal was progressing. By the time the wedding came round I looked fantastic and I received so many compliments, it was a great feeling!.
I am so glad I met Richard as I would have not stayed so motivated and focused if it wasn’t for Richard’s great encouragement throughout my journey. I cannot recommend him highly enough

All I can say is Richard is an all-round physiotherapist! Had I known he had skills ranging from being a personal trainer, dietician, physiotherapist, masseuse, reflexologist, etc I would have contacted him earlier for all my needs. Having never used a physio before, I thought he was limited to just that but, boy is he skilled!
You know you're in a good pair of hands when you ask way too many questions about all things health and he can answer them succinctly - and they all make sense. EVERTHING is related and Richard understands
that perfectly. I considered myself to be fairly but really, I found out quickly that I was rubbish! He managed to improve my cardio, help me lose weight and shape up my bum, thighs, arms and back. Most importantly with his diet recommendations I feel less tired, look physically in shape and better (everyone tells me that now!) ... And love myself a little more.
Richard is trustworthy, punctual (the number of times he woke me from sleep to go train!!) patient, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and consistent.
What I'm most excited about is his ability to be a one-stop-shop for all my health needs. I would recommend him 100% to anyone who wanted to feel better, get their health on track, look better, improve your cardio, SHAPE up, lose weight and stop any aches and pains they've been feeling!
Why would you need to see a chiropractor, a personal trainer, a dietician, a masseuse when he can give you the best results with his expertise in all these areas? My best parts are the stretches after are our morning workouts!

After learning that I was suffering from a longstanding neck issue, a work colleague recommended Richard to me after being impressed by his work.
During my first consultation, when we were discussing my condition prior to hands on work, I was immediately impressed by Richards’s thoroughness along with his calm and patient manner. Initially I had physio and then moved on to acupuncture which I had no previous experience of, but I must say it was a revelation! After a few sessions there was a significant improvement in my condition. I also took training advice from Richard in order to maintain and advance the progress we had made.
After a short time working Richard it was plain that his vocation is an obsession and I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

I was referred to Richard via a colleague and friend. I was having foot pains in training which limited my ability to participate fully in coaching or play football. This pain was unbelievable. Upon meeting Richard he put me at eased right away and proceeded to explain the mechanics of my feet and described to me my running style and to prove his theory he strapped my foot after treatment and ask me to go run. To my surprised I had no more pain. I saw him a few times more where he video my running and prescribe specific exercise and suggested stretching and massage.
Richard is a magician with his hands, he know my body better than me. What blows my mind is the speed he in which he can tell me what’s wrong and put his hand on the areas that is painful when that’s not the area that I thought was the problem. His ability to arrive at what’s wrong is unlike no other specialist and I have had the experience to work with and I had visited many with this problem. He is night and day ahead, I trust Richard to get me right and I feel safe in his care. He always gets me the right result and I recommend him to everyone who needs someone to get them sorted. It hurts and its going to be tender but in a few days you are sorted.
Richard is firm and stern if he thinks you aren’t going to according to plan. He will ask, what you are doing, he will say something is not right. He will give it to you straight and I like that. If he tells you he can sort it in 3 treatments it’s sorted in 3 treatments and you can go away and not worry. I did and have been fine to participate over the years thanks to Richard. My only suggestion is that he get to grips with football and support Liverpool.

My name is Zak H Johnson started Greco Roman wrestling when I was a young boy grew up decided to try mixed martial arts. I made fast progress, after consoling with my trainers and coaches we decided to fight professionally and had a great run after a few years and seven fights I decided to start American football having a background in contact sports it came naturally and I excelled even by American standards. However being gifted at physical sports I curse throughout the years injury through the gruelling practise games and fights. I would always be plagued by injuries seeing multiple physiotherapist and spending thousands of pounds to no avail. I decided to give up all sports. My head and heart was no longer in it. I went back to a practice one more time and tore my hamstring the same injury that had been holding me back for years. For me that was the last straw no coach or friend could convince me to continue playing any sports. My friend Joseph Van de Merver told me to at least get it sorted out just for health purposes he told me about a therapist who he had great success with. Knowing Jo and seeing the injuries he went through and came back to sport, he made melook at this guy and I took his word for it. I had my first consultation with Richard and Hani the trainer. My trainer also held Richard in high regards, I explained all my injuries to him and he actually let me explain rather than jumping to a conclusion like most "therapist" he diagnosed the problem with my hamstring and hip was that my glute wasn't activating during certain movements. Working with him now for over a year using all forms of therapy from deep tissue messages to electro therapy all my problems are gone but now I see him mainly to prevent injuries. I would recommend to anyone who's lost motivation in their athletic field due to injuries or even if you are trying to take your performance to another level using efficient movement and correct techniques to have a consultation with Richard.
