If you suffer from neck pain, tension headaches, shoulder or upper back pain as you sit at your desk for long periods, or as you go about your daily routine then you may find Hugo's approach and treatment really helpful. The first step to developing strategies for dealing with our pain is to understand the cause.
The World Health Organisation predicts that 60-70% of the western world will suffer from back pain during each persons lifetime. And in the UK 31 million work days were lost to back pain in 2013. As a previous sufferer of back pain and two herniated discs from playing sport Hugo knows how debilitating back pain can be.
If you are suffering from Sciatica with aching pain down the back of your leg into your calf and even your toes Kingston-based osteopath Hugo Firth has been successfully treating patients with this problem in Kingston and Norbiton for a number of years. Registered with GOsC and a member or the Institute of Osteopathy, he is a musculoskeletal specialist, who combines osteopathy with 3D Functional movement, developed by the Gray Institute.
Your GP may have already diagnosed it as a Frozen Shoulder (FS) or Adhesive Capsulitis. You may have also received some physiotherapy or other manual therapy but it is still no better. It effects 2-5% of the population with those between 40-60yrs more likely and females more likely than males. Alternatively you may be looking for a reason why your shoulder is giving you so much pain.
Hugo Firth is a registered Osteopath (GOsc 8887). He combines his Osteopathic training with the highly effective Gray Institute Functional Exercise Therapy and Training. In this way he can identify areas of the body that are not moving as well as they could and what might be the cause of the pain as well as treating the tissue and joints involved.

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 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

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 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.

Preparing for a significant cycling sportive in a short space of time left me with some painful tension due to stiffness down my right side. After a combination of exercises, acupuncture and deep work on problem muscles I am know in much better shape and able to continue training without discomfort. Hugo took the time to understand my circumstances, not only of my training but also my general lifestyle situation before deciding on the best course of action. I wholeheartedly recommend Hugo if you have similar issues, whether sports related or not.

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

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!

I have a number of issues with various parts of my body, neck, back, knees. Hugo not only solves any issues as they arise but also provides excercises and guidance to stop issues arising again in the future. This week I managed to cause myself a knee injury through running, I was in a lot of pain while walking. After seeing Hugo the pain is all gone and the knee feels great. I highly recommend Hugo, but I hope not too many people go in case I can't get an appointment! I would also add that there is never any pressure to have more sessions than is needed, as I have experienced in the past from other

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.

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.

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.

I recently gave myself a hip injury through weight training that restricted the movement in my hip. Hugo Firth at the Osteopathy Partnership gave me an excellent and articulate appraisal of my injury and manipulated it back into its correct position. I have been back training for 2 months now and have had no further problems. A truly professional service.

I cannot recommend Hugo highly enough - from the actual treatment right through to his personable approach. His useful videos are also great to supplement the treatment and be able to manage one's own pain when needed. Hugo treated me when I was in excruciating pain following a nerve issue and at a time when other professionals told me to wait for the acute pain to subside before I could have treatment.... After just two appointments with Hugo, the pain was gone almost completely. A few more sessions later and I am now pain free!

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
