Charlie Symonds

Former Player Manager Kingston RFC

I have used Surrey Osteopaths for many years during my playing career to be treated for various knee, back, shoulder and neck injuries. Ricky has always been spot on with his diagnosis and treatment, his rehabilitation…..

has always assisted me in getting back on the pitch fighting fit. His practice has everything you want from a physician, from knowledge to integrity and care. I would always recommend Surrey Osteopaths for sports injury treatment.

In addition Ricky was club therapist for 3 years during my time as Player Manager at Kingston and gained a huge level of trust throughout the playing and coaching staff. Providing analysis on whether players were fit to play and advising staff on suitable recovery time and rehabilitation. He demonstrated a huge amount of professionalism during his time at the club and we were sorry to see him leave.

Youth worker and mother

Your manner is very calming and after listening to my symptoms and you set out a possible diagnosis which with what i had been feeling sounded absolutely correct. I think you have found your true calling in this work, your……

treatment is very accurate but yet soothing. I had expected to be tugged, clicked and folded into more painful positions but was overjoyed when your treatment turned out to be very precise, gentle but highly effective.

By the time I left I no longer had pain in my chest when I inhaled and my head felt lighter. That evening I felt sore but the soreness that you feel from exercising. By the morning it felt like I had never had two days of agony previously to that day. I felt 100% better and was relieved at how little discomfort I felt.

You are a genius in what you do and genuinely gifted. I would recommend anyone I know to seek treatment with you, including my own children!

Thanks again Ricky!

Hiking Enthusiast & Managing Director, Suffolk Life

I fully endorse Mr. Kempton. Having broken a bone in my ankle on a walking holiday I was treated at the local fracture clinic. Afterwards issues with the ankle continued; especially heavy swelling when it was being used for……

extended periods of time. Despite a couple of visits to the Doctor this continued off and on for almost a year. Finally having got back to the hospital they expressed surprise that I had never been offered physio and offered it to me – although with a warning that it would take up to 3 months before I could be seen. That is when I went to Ricky.

In only three 1hr sessions he was able to put right the ankle; reduce the swelling and give me a number of strengthening exercises that have got me back to where I was pre-accident. I was amazed how easy it was and impressed by Ricky’s knowledge and ability.

Jean Simmonds

Elderly lady suffering from arthritis for many years

In April I visited hospital with severe pain in my right shoulder. I was told I had a frozen shoulder and given pain killers. An appointment was then made for physiotherapy. After several sessions there was no improvements and…..

I was asked to have an MRI scan. After several months of waiting for the result I was then told it was wear and tear of my spine and nothing could be done about it, even though I still couldn’t lift my arm above shoulder height. I was then recommended to see The Surrey Osteopaths and after only 2 sessions of osteopathy I now have almost full movement in my arm and the arm is pain free. Thank you so much to Ricky for all his help and continued advice.

Joan Palmer

A patient who had seen many different practitioners but nothing had helped until she came to The Surrey Osteopaths

What a difference treatment with you has made. I have had a painful arm, shoulder and rib for years after an accident yet despite having physiotherapy and seeing different osteopaths before.

Since seeing Ricky at The Surrey Osteopaths he diagnosed the latent underlying problem and has treated this successfully. Oh joy! Ribs fine – shoulder fine – arm fine.

Thanks you so much for your professionalism in getting to the root of my problems, Kind Regards, Mrs Joan Palmer

Luke Johnson

16 year old Javelin thrower for Sussex County

After I visited my GP I was told I had golfers elbow and if I stopped throwing the Javelin it would go away. As this wasn’t an option I came to see Ricky to see what he could do for me. After Ricky assessed me he said that I did….

not have golfer elbow just an injury to the muscles of my elbow. Ricky gave me exercises to do which I did everyday.

After three session my elbow has completely recovered and I now can throw javelin with out felling the pain in my elbow. I would not hesitate to recommended him to any one else.

Marty Mather

I have recently attended the surrey osteopaths to undergo treatment for a long standing back problem. Having attended a different clinic for some considerable time and cost to myself, I have been very pleased with the treatment….

I have received from Ricky on my first two visits with him. His manner is courteous and his attentiveness is without question explaining every step of the treatment plainly and professionally.

Matt Roberts

Brake Man for the Great British Four-Man Bobsleigh Team

During preseason testing I picked up an injury which I thought would end my chances of being selected for the Great Britain Bobsleigh team again. Ricky at The Surrey Osteopaths helped get me back to full fitness and pushing again.

I feel I am now moving a lot better, more aware of my body and better equipped for the rigours of the training involved at elite level sport.

Hopefully this will give me the extra edge in my efforts to get to the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver as a brake man.

Morray Dolan

World Ranked No.10 English Pool Professional

My career comes with the requirement for global travel and many hours in both the practice room and tournament arena which causes stress both mentally and physically. About a year ago I started to notice a repetitive

aching throughout my shoulder and elbow; I initially shrugged it off. As time progressed it started to become more apparent and subsequently started to interfere with my training regime both in the gym and on the practice table. Eventually I decided that the pain had reached a stage that it wasn’t going to correct itself and so I contacted Ricky for his expert opinion.

Following an examination Ricky fully explained what the likely cause for the pain was and that he believed with the correct treatment it could be resolved. Well needless to say that after just 3 or 4 treatments the pain has already all but disappeared which has made for an immediate return in form in my tournament play.

I cannot recommend Ricky’s treatments enough; it has certainly rectified my injury and allowed me to return to top level competition and in such a short space of time.

Thanks, Morray

My sincere thanks go to Ricky Kempton, for the wonderful relief he as given me. I originally went to him for pain in my shoulder and also residue and recurring pain from sciatica. He has also given me great pain relief after my knee operation.

A combination of treatment, advice and doing the exercises he suggested, have given me great relief and improved my general health and ability to exercise.

Many thanks ~ Noreen

4th Dan (Yondon) in Shindo Jinen Ryu

I have studied karate for the last 22yrs and I hold a 4th Dan (Yondon) and the style I teach is called Shindo Jinen Ryu. As part of my training, I visit my local gym in Crawley at the K2 centre, and at the same time I have a number classes

where I teach karate from 5yrs upwards. I am a part of the senior instructor for Japan Karate Ryobu-Kai based in Anaheim, California and once year I will go to visit the Hombu Dojo (Central dojo of the organization).Early this year I started to get shoulder problems with my right shoulder and rotator cuff which was weak.

I visited my GP and was given some pain killers and advised to rest but this was difficult with my teaching. In August 09 I requested a MRI scan from my GP after a number of visits from March to August 09. I started to look at private treatment at the same time and met Ricky Kempton in August.

Ricky was very confident with the correct form of treatment for my shoulder condition. The advice he gave was perfect and the stretches and exercises gave great relief. The relief from osteopathic treatment was almost instant and has been the only thing that has helped at all.

Ricky took me in the gym to keep testing the shoulder injury in certain exercises and now I am back to training and using the gym. I highly recommend Surrey Osteopaths sports injury clinic, they provided me with a quick solution to overcome my sports injury using effective osteopathic treatment.
