Back Pain Solutions

This was my second time working with Adam and as with my lower back issues a couple years ago, he managed to really make a difference in my recovery this time around, too. Adam really takes time to get a full picture and regularly checks in on progress, which I really appreciate. It gave me confidence, that he explained the anatomy, what wasn't working properly and how we would tackle my recovery. A set of exercises for in between appointments were provided and updated based on progress made. Definitely good value for money and I would go again anytime. Can't recommend highly enough. More...

I came to see Adam with a hip flexor problem which I had for over a year. After a very thorough first diagnostic Adam found what was causing this and we went over my history in sports and work to get a complete picture of why I was having this issue. I had been to a few osteopaths before who were only treating the symptom, so it kept returning. I booked ten sessions with Adam working on recovery and strengthening the areas needed . i now have a plan to maintain the areas needed and I’m back running better then before. Would highly recommend Adam , very thorough, clear instructions and very easy to talk to. 5 stars More...

Adam is a great therapist with a wide knowledge and understanding of how human body functions. I have suffered with reoccurring sciatic nerve compression and through his treatments I was able to recover very quickly. Also, his advice on how to prevent reoccurrence of my problem has been extremely valuable. By following simple exercises I am able tostay pain free. Thank you so much Adam!! More...

I am Greg Bennett. I don’t have a Google account, which means I am not able to submit a review, so I have logged in with a friend’s ID. I came to Adam, complaining of a lot of upper back/shoulder/neck pain. I was having headaches about five days a week, and I was feeling exhausted pretty much all the time. He was very honest with me, and suggested that he would need to see me about ten times to try and completely deal with the problem, so that it doesn’t come back. Adam got rid of the pain, and the headaches went as well. We discussed the exhaustion, and thought that diet could be a contributing factor as well as the back/neck issues. He did recommend a dietician, but I actually did some of my own research into diet. Until Adam treated me for the shoulder/neck issues, trying to sort out the exhaustion through my diet seemed rather premature, since I was sure that the exhaustion was in part caused by the neck tension. Now that he has sorted all that out, I have really tried to address my nutritional needs, and have been pretty successful. I have far less exhaustion than I was getting before seeing Adam. For me there seem to be multiple factors to my poor health. Adam sorted out several of them, which has allowed me to focus on the others. I feel a great deal better. It has been about 12 months since I first went to see Adam, and, true to his word, the problems have not come back. He did actually give me a great set of exercises to maintain the back health that he had produced. I can’t praise him enough – both for his treatment of my back in the sessions that I saw him, and for the holistic plan he gave me for general health. Greg Bennett More...

I came to see Adam with a recurring shoulder injury that i had for a few months. This was an injury that i got through over training at the gym that i just could not get rid of. The phone consultation and in person consultation were incredibly thorough, Adam wanted to know everything about my personal injury, i have seen Osteopath's before but straight away i knew this was something different. Adam came up with a personal plan set over 5 weeks to help me get over the injury and back to the gym as soon as possible. From our first session together i could feel we were making progress, Adam put together a personal rehabilitation exercise program for me to work on at home and every session felt like it was tailored personally for me and where i was during my rehabilitation. Adam was always happy to answer any questions and offer advice. Im now ready to head back to the gym pain free, coupled with the knowledge of how to deal with an injury. I would highly recommend Adam as he is thorough, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you Adam :) More...

I went to see Adam as I have suffered from lower back pain intermittently over the last 6 years, which had flared up in the Autumn of 2022. I found Adam to be very thorough, analysing my problem, and explaining very clearly his proposed course of action. After 10 visits I'm pleased to report that the pain has ceased but more importantly it feels unlikely to recur, and if it does I now have tools at my disposal to relieve it again. Obviously if it did flare up badly I wouldn't hesitate to visit Adam again. Throughout the whole experience I found Adam to be friendly, professional and informative and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. More...

I went to Adam with persistent pain in my left shoulder and lats. A result of poor technique and lifting to heavy in the gym. The phone consultation and the subsequent in person consultation were incredibly thorough. Each question was derived from your answers which led to Adam being able to give a individual diagnosis of my problem. He then set out a bespoke treatment and rehabilitation programme over 5 weeks. The programme evolved as we made progress and as my initial areas of pain subsided it would reveal other areas of my back that were tight and had been contributing to the initial pain. By the end of the treatment we had made our way right down the spine to the lower back where I hadn’t even realised I was tight. Adam was able to give me exercises that I could perform by myself to help continue the recovery/maintenance beyond our sessions. That was over 2 weeks ago and my back has never felt better, I’m back to lifting heavy in the gym (with better technique) and whenever I feel I may be getting tight I now have the tools to prevent it from getting bad. Thanks Adam More...

I went to see Adam in St Albans about a recurring neck and upper back pain that I’ve had for many years. After a particularly painful flare up I decided to seek help. Adam was recommended by a friend and I’m so glad I took their advice. From the start Adam was brilliant. Warm and reassuring, he put together a rehabilitation plan which involved 10 weeks of sessions plus advice on posture and exercises. My neck and back soon started to feel better and week on week things have improved. I now feel on the road to recovery and am also armed with an exercise plan to help with my long term rehabilitation. Adam has helped me so much both physically and mentally. He is also full of brilliant advice and coping mechanisms. I can’t recommend him highly enough! More...

Hi everyone, I don’t think there are enough words to express how wonderful Adam Sealey is. I have been having chronic back pain for the last 10 years. I am healthy and fit, I am a midwife and always found the time to exercise. As midwife I do nights and long hours, so not a great lifestyle overall. I have done any sort of treatment in the last 10 years for trying to get on top of this terrible pain. I used to wake up in the middle of the night for the pain. I have tried with NHS physio and private osteopathy + acupuncture, well apart from Adam no one could get me any better. Adam didn’t just treat the pain I had but he also made me believing that I could get better…when I started with him I had no faith in the profession but I was so desperate of finding someone who could make me feel better. Adam went just behind and beyond my expectations. I have started with Adam at the beginning of my pregnancy so not an ideal situation. Despite all he managed to get me so much better that I barely had back pain by the time I finished his treatments. He is extremely professional and honest. He would do his best to get you better and there are no false expectations, which I think it is extremely important. He is not one of those who doesn’t want to get you better because he won’t have his own income, his plan isn’t to make his life better but your life better. To give you an example when we planned the treatments package he was confident that 1 set of treatments would have been enough also because he clearly said to me that at the end of the pregnancy my back condition would have aggravated slightly due to the front weight, therefore there was no point for me to have more treatments as it would have been a waste of money. So he assisted me until the end giving me exercises and check in up on me but no treatments were paid. I don’t think you can find another professional out there that could be so honest. I am planning to go back to him and I cannot recommend him enough. For me Adam has been the best osteopath I have ever met and his treatments have been the best money ever spent. Try him on, you won’t regret it!!!! More...

I came to see Adam in St. Albans with a bad lower back that I’ve had for more than 6 years. Adam was recommended to me through a friend when I mentioned to them about my lower back becoming increasingly painful over recent months. Having been inspired by their success story, I decided to contact Adam. From the very initial consultation I was deeply impressed with the level of detail that Adam went into; his diagnosis and the clarity of what to expect from the treatments. The results from the treatments were incredible – I felt my back pains subside as each session went. I kept up with the bespoke home exercises and stretching plan that Adam gave me very early on, and by end of it all I truly felt like a different person. The constant pain in my lower back that had been a hindrance and restricted a lot of my movement for many years is no more, and I am truly thankful to Adam for the amazing work and results. I’m super impressed with Adam’s knowledge and his ability to pinpoint and treat the exact spot that had been causing me problems for so long. Adam is a highly skilled practitioner. He is very personable and genuinely cares about your wellbeing, and I cannot recommend Adam highly enough. More...

Went to Adam with ongoing back and neck issues, whilst not painful, I was uncomfortable and aware that these issues would only get worse due to my daily routine and postural issues. After a few sessions with Adam combined with a home stretching routine these issues have practically gone. Adam made it clear to me that regular excercises at home are needed to stop the issues recurring and developed a 30 page excercise plan for me to ensure that the issues I had are reduced and I have seen a big improvement. I found Adam really personable, explained everything really well and always happy to answer any question I had. Have rexorecomme to friends and work colleagues. More...

Adam is simply brilliant! I went to him with shoulder pain that had been ongoing for about 6 months following an injury from carrying a heavy backpack, but after talking to Adam I actually realised I'd experienced low level shoulder pain and stiffness for 10 years. I'd been to see several physios who hadn't been able to get to the bottom of the problem, but within our first consultation Adam had identified the issue (a misplaced rib) and started to work on fixing it. It was such a relief just to know what had been causing me problems all these years!Adam was able to get me pain free, and back to practising yoga within a matter of months (which was particularly important as I'm a trainee yoga teacher). Unfortunately I then injured myself again which meant another course of treatment, but Adam gave me really good advice about what I needed to do to avoid further injury, and helped me get back on track very quickly. Throughout my treatment he was always focused on getting the best outcome for me as quickly as possible, whether through rehab exercises, a gym programme, or referrals to other practitioners. Adam is a kind and caring person, who I always felt had my best interests at heart. While treating me we had some great chats, including him giving me valuable advice about setting up my own business - he really does go above and beyond the call of duty! I would recommend Adam without hesitation - even if you're not sure if he can help you, go and see him and if he can't help he'll know someone who can! More...
