The Forge Clinic: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Bridget highly enough. She was extremely professional and fixed my shoulder injury allowing me to go back to normal. I am so grateful. The staff at The Forge Clinic were always polite and very helpful. Excellent care all round!
Dear Nicky,
So lovely to hear about your great experience with us. Thank you for sharing this. Glad to hear your shoulder injury is resolved.

The Forge Team
Fantastic experience: Sam was able to treat my muscle tear injury and guide me swiftly back to full fitness. My sessions with him were focussed on my specific goals for recovery and the exercises were tailored to me and the equipment I had available at home. His kind and professional advice, guidance and pain/discomfort expectations were invaluable to get me confidently running again. Would definitely recommend his services.
Fantastic experience: Bridget and the team have been great. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming and make you feel at total ease. This happens from the moment you walk into the clinic with the reception team, who are superb, very personable and professional. Bridget’s expertise is first class, making the sessions really informative, challenging, good fun and with a real genuine care in getting me back to fitness. My thanks to the entire team in helping me back to recovery, I could not have done it without all your help and support.
Dear Mark,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this lovely feedback for Bridget and our reception team. We're very lucky to have such a wonderful team. Delighted to hear you've had such a great experience at the clinic.

Fantastic experience: Graham Hadley at The Forge is a first class sports injury physio. We have used him for 10 years and highly recommend him both for initial diagnosis and recovery physiotherapy.

Fantastic experience: Magical sports massage with Clare. I feel so much better and so much tension relief. Thank you so much Clare, I look forward to my next one.
Amazing! She's great isn't she? Glad you had such a brilliant treatment with Clare.
We look forward to seeing you again.

Fantastic experience: I pulled a back muscle and was in so much pain from just breathing. I saw Phillip after 24 hours and in just a few hours after treatment so much of the pain faded. I now have just a faint pain and can move about freely, which I wasn’t able to do for over a day!
Hi Chrissy,
Thanks for sharing your feedback, really pleased things have settled so quickly. Great news :)
Fantastic experience: I've been using the clinic for just 3sessions now and have been impressed. My back pain is much better and am already more flexible. The clinic are focused on fixing the root cause vs providing symptomatic relief through massage. This was eye opening as my previous physio in Kew only focused on symptomatic relief and offered very little in terms of rehab programmes to follow.
Dear Rohith,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, really happy to hear that you've had such a great experience with our Physiotherapist. We hope your back pain continues to improve. :)
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend The Forge Clinic, his team, and Dr David Silver more! I came here back in February 2024 with flaring Achilles tendonitis and little hope of keeping my running passion going. Dr Silver's approach to rehabilitation and his encouraging words made the magic. Right exercises and advice properly balanced and tailored against my current status and lifestyle helped me to manage my pain, regain strength and get back to my loved passion running! As a testimony of this, last Sunday 13th of October, I completed The Royal Half Parks without any issues or consequences and in less time than expected. Thank you The Forge Clinic!
Dear Riccardo,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your experience with David and The Forge Clinic.
Congratulations on achieving your half marathon! We're delighted to hear that :)

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience in numerous consultations with Sam Harry, physiotherapist, who saw me through the time from my double knee replacement operation to my eventual recovery.
Dear Iain,
Thank you for taking the time to share this lovely feedback, we are very happy to hear you have recovered well after your op.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Julie Deeks (nutritionalist) since January 24 due to an underlying medical condition. She has made a huge difference to my life by making some simple suggestions that I have followed to the letter. As a result my arthritis is greatly improved as is my overall energy and wellness. Would highly recommend.
Dear Bea,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your sessions with Julie. We are delighted to hear how much difference she has made to your life.

Fantastic experience: Here’s a draft for your Google review: --- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Yasmin Jones (Osteopath). Her approach to working with children is exceptional—she immediately put my child at ease with her kind and gentle manner. She is incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to clearly explain the condition and offering exercises and stitches specifically tailored to help. Throughout the session, she was patient and supportive, ensuring that my child felt comfortable every step of the way. I highly recommend her to any parent looking for a skilled and compassionate osteopathic doctor. --- Highly recommend!
Thank you Nadiia, really pleased to hear how much of a help Yasmin has been for your child.
Fantastic experience: Really impressed with the services received
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend The Forge and Bridget Burleigh highly enough. I went to see her with a torn gluteus minimus and was in severe pain. Over the weeks, she worked with me in clinic and gave me weekly exercises to strengthen my glutes, address my lack of balance and helped me find strategies to manage blips when the pain came back. I’ve had persistent lower back pain for years but having worked with Bridget, I’m actually pain-free for the longest time I can remember. Thank you so much, Bridget!
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience Marianne, I am delighted to hear you're now pain and injury free. Great news :)
Vicky
Clinic Director
Fantastic experience: I am so grateful for the quick and effective treatment I received from Forge Clinic. They quickly provided Jason and his incredible skill and dedication to improving my injury. After just 5 sessions I am back to doing all of the things I love in sports and general movement. The treatment throughout was first class, including the exercises I was given on a weekly basis, to help improve things. I am forever grateful to this fantastic Clinic. Thank you
Thank you sharing your feedback Zeph. Really happy to hear this :)

Fantastic experience: Had such amazing treatment for my Plantar fasciitis, using shockwave therapy. The staff are all so lovely and helpful. It has been such a huge help. Would thoroughly recommend.
Hi Kayleigh,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us and shockwave therapy. Really pleased to hear how much it has helped with your plantar fasciitis. :)
Fantastic experience: I have had chronic lower back pain for years and every now and then I still grind to a complete halt. I had one of those episodes a couple of weeks ago. I contacted The Forge and they booked me in the next available day. Tristan Jones, one of the osteopaths, got me up and running again so quickly that the next day, I walked 9km without too much of discomfort. Within a week, I had 75% of my functionality back. Really great therapist. Thank you.
Thanks for this great review Tom and we're really glad to hear you're on the mend :)
Fantastic experience: This practice has been a great find for me. I’ve had lower back pain for a while and Gareth has been amazing. I’ve seen him a couple of times now and he’s always attentive, gentle and goes the extra mile by helping me with exercises etc. I usually leave in a much better state than when I arrived and I’m glad I can see him now in case the pain returns.
Dear Carolina, we're delighted to hear you've had such a great experience and that your back pain is much improved. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
The Forge Team :)
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Vicky for a few weeks now and I can’t recommend her more: she’s a great therapist, best lymphatic drainage massage I had in years, professional and most importantly, I can see big improvement in my circulation and skin.
Thanks for taking the time to share this lovely feedback Martina, really pleased that the treatments are having such an improvement. :)
Fantastic experience: I have visited the Forge clinic for physiotherapy numerous times and always received wonderful care; today I had a sports massage with Luke and he was fantastic too. Thorough in his assessment, he focussed on problem areas, applied sufficient force and communicated well to ensure it was manageable. He’s incredibly knowledgable and personable too so will definitely be back. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to share this lovely feedback Katie :)
Really pleased to hear you had such a good session with Luke. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Vicky
Fantastic experience: I have had several treatments with Yasmin with osteopathy, acupuncture and cranial osteopathy. Her empathy, warmth and genuine passion for her job shines through. She’s gone over and beyond to help my symptoms and I’d highly recommend her.
Thank you for taking the time to share this lovely feedback Vicki, always great to hear. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Best,
Vicky
Fantastic experience: Samuel is a brilliant physiotherapist! His knowledge, combined with his clear communication and hands-on approach, made my recovery journey so much more pleasant. Beyond his technical skill, Samuel's empathy and friendliness created a supportive space. I can't recommend him enough for his professionalism and dedication to patient satisfaction. Thanks, Samuel, for making my recovery a positive experience!
I am delighted to hear you had such a positive experience, thanks for sharing this :)
We think Sam is great too!

Fantastic experience: Vicky treated shoulder pain i have had for a few years. I forgot to the write this review because i just haven't thought about my shoulder in weeks and weeks. Her treatment was fantastic. In 3 sessions she has done more than steroid injections managed. I would unhesitatingly recommend her for a deep tissue massage.
Thank you so much for this lovely review, I am so pleased to hear your shoulder is doing so well.
We hope you are keeping well :)
Vicky
Fantastic experience: A great multidisciplinary team and practice. I have been seeing Yasmin for osteopathy treatment for a few months now with great success and improvement. I have recently seen Vicky for clinical massage therapy and both practitioners are professional and well educated in their clinical application. A friendly and welcoming environment!
Fantastic experience: I have had some sessions with Victoria Anderson and she has really helped me, she is very knowledgeable and experienced and has given me great advice to help me work on my body in targeted areas to build up strength and move forwards after many years of back pain and problems.
Thank you for sharing your feedback following your Clinical Exercise sessions with Victoria, delighted to hear how much these sessions have helped you.

Fantastic experience: Bridget literally saved my 1000km walk in Northern Spain when I fell hard on the first day and had to fly home prematurely with an injury. She was so patient with my impatience, and managed to find the key that enabled me to hasten my recovery and return to Spain to finish my walk. She’s amazing!!
Dear Ann,
Thank you for your lovey review and we're so pleased you were able to finish your walk.

Fantastic experience: I have had first class, caring treatment at the Forge clinic, both with Maureen for Acupuncture and Vicky for Lymphatic Drainage and other massage and body work. I am recovering from hospital treatment and these two practitioners have been vital for my wellness. I would highly recommend the whole clinic.
Dear Kristy,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we're so pleased to be able to support you in your recovery.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Vicky
Fantastic experience: Vicky worked so thoroughly on my areas of tension and my body and me are incredibly grateful. I didn't choose Forge Clinic knowing any staff there. It was a Google search for who had availability today. I was so impressed and pleased with the service I received from both their lovely receptionist and of course Vital Vicky as I will now call her! 10/10 plus plus plus
Thank you Andrea ☺️
So glad we could help. Looking forward to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Sam did an excellent job. Thank you soooo much
Fantastic experience: This is a great clinic! Reception is always friendly and accommodating and my physiotherapist Sam, is great! I came in for an ankle injury and within 6 weeks, I was back to the normal, if not stronger, and running. He’s a great physiotherapist who listens to what your concerns are and makes it enjoyable during each session! Would recommend!
Thank Pria for your wonderful feedback, we're really happy you've had such a great experience with us :)
Best,
Vicky
Fantastic experience: Super easy to make an appointment online for a massage and a great experience when I got there. The vibe is always very chilled out and friendly; Luke did a thorough pre-assessment and gave a great massage. Thoroughly recommend!
Thanks Nikki :)
Great to see you.
Glad the treatment has helped.
Fantastic experience: I've been in to see Sam for a knee injury which I had for over 3 years. After 3 months and 6 sessions I am almost entirely pain free and running again. Sam listens carefully to your issue, is very patient while always asking the right questions and consistently provides the best exercises for recovery - I couldn't recommend him enough. Thanks Sam and the forge clinic!
Thank you Freddie, really lovely to hear such great feedback.

Hi Rodrigo,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and recommendation. It's really appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to see Jason (osteopath) who is amazing! Have worked 5 sessions on my locked neck and I’m so much better! Thank you for the super service and for resetting my neck and upper back! Highly recommend
Hi Ria,
Thank you for sharing this lovely feedback and we're really happy to hear your neck is much better.

Fantastic experience: What an absolutely transformative and healing experience! I truly recommend an acupuncture therapist Maureen who stands out as a healing therapist. Her needling technique was a revelation, seamlessly melding ancient wisdom with modern insight. Each session brought relief, dissolving years of persistent discomfort. In just a few sessions, I felt renewed - stress ebbed, sleep improved, and balance was restored. This therapist is a true conduit to well-being, a testament to their profound understanding of body and mind. Thank you Maureen with all my heart!
Thanks Polina :)
We're delighted to hear you have had such a great response to Acupuncture treatment. Always lovely to see you in clinic too.
Best,
Vicky
Fantastic experience: Maureen helped me to avoid induction with some wonderful acupuncture in the lead up to my birth. She was incredibly kind and professional, taking a very detailed history and making me feel comfortable and at ease throughout. Sure enough, my contractions began - exactly on my due date! Thank you Maureen, you are bril. Yasmin has also treated me with amazing osteopathy, both pre-and post-birth for hip and back related pregnancy/birth issues. She has been absolutely wonderful, and I'm really going to miss her professionalism, skill and warm nature now that we are moving to a new city. Last week I took my seven-week-old baby daughter for a session with Yasmin and we can genuinely see the difference in her after just one session. It's incredible really. Thank you so much Yasmin, we will miss you!
Congratulations Charlie on the arrival of your little one. We are delighted for you, and thank you for sharing your experience :)

Vicky
Fantastic experience: Had a dry needling session which was very good strongly recommend
Fantastic experience: Sandra is amazing! I loved my acupuncture session with her (for anxiety/emotional pain). The session was really soothing, I felt very relaxed afterwards and felt I had unblocked some stagnant energy. I have since felt more calm, relaxed and joyful. Sandra also gave me some great tips and guidance for dealing with a difficult period. Highly recommend a visit to see Sandra!
Hi Nicola,
So please to hear you've had such positive results from your treatment and are feeling much better.
We shall look forward to seeing you again soon.

Fantastic experience: I recently had an amazing experience at The Forge Clinic while receiving physio treatment for my back. Bridget, my physiotherapist, crafted a solid plan to strengthen my core and instill better habits to prevent future back pain. Working with her was an absolute joy! I highly recommend The Forge Clinic and Bridget for their exceptional care and friendly approach.
Thank you for taking the time to recommend us Wave. Really happy to hear you had such an amazing experience with us and Bridget.

Fantastic experience: I see Yasmine Jones at Forge Clinic for regular maintenance as I keep active in my early 50s. Her knowledge and skill in osteopathy is excellent and particularly I found the cranial osteopathy that she gave me when I developed Long Covid to be an invaluable part of coping and also my recovery. She listens well to how my body is presenting each session and as a consequence I feel the benefit.
Hi Sara,
We hope you are well. Thank you for your lovely feedback about Yasmin. So happy to hear you've had such a great experience.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to the Forge Clinic for a few months now for acupuncture treatment. Sandra has helped me tremendously. I can't recommend her enough. She takes great care of her patients and I'm so thankful I found her as a practitioner! If you've been thinking of trying acupuncture, or are looking for a local practitioner, definitely book an appointment with Sandra.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Sandra and Acupuncture. It’s always lovely to hear such wonderful feedback.
We’ll see you in clinic again soon.

Fantastic experience: Getting old and suffering from old injuries is real .. I have issues monthly with different joints and muscles . By far and away the best physio service I have ever had and the most knowledgeable person to lay their hands on me , is David Silver . A genius in his field .

Vicky
Clinic Director
Fantastic experience: Helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff in a lovely location.
Fantastic experience: David Silver at the Forge Clinic is a one of a kind physiotherapist. David has superb knowledge of any sports/activities related injuries known to man! After a painful shoulder injury, David guided me through specific exercises, showed me exactly how to do them and more importantly how they should feel if I was doing them properly. I was back to swimming in no time. I’m confident that no matter what injuries come my way, David will always put me back together again.
Fantastic experience: I play rugby and box regularly at age 44 so I’m prone to quite a few minor injuries. David silver deals with any issues I have, his knowledge of injuries and rehab is second to none. He’s prolonged my playing career for quiet a few years. I Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a physio
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback David. :)
Fantastic experience: I attended the Forge Clinic for a year after a serious injury to my shoulder and was under the care of David Silver, a brilliant physiotherapist. The care I received from David was second to none and his professionalism, knowledge and lovely manner made everything a great deal better! Cannot recommend David and the clinic as a whole highly enough.
Lovely to hear from you Helen and thank you for taking the time to share feedback on your experience with David and The Forge Clinic.
I hope everything is going well for you. :)

Fantastic experience: David is an exceptional physiotherapist. I was recommended by a client of ours, and I'd highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic appointment with Phil the Osteopath and he worked miracles. First and foremost, he's friendly and welcoming but also very well informed. He helped straighten out my back with a bit of Sport-intensity Massage and I haven't had any pains since. Additionally, I spoke to Phil about vertigo I have been struggling with. He explained the Epley Manoeuvre to me and offered to give it a try to see if it helps. After 6 months of dizziness and blackouts, its gone. Miracle worker. Highly recommend both Phil McNulty and The Forge Clinic.
Thank you for your lovely review and we're delighted to hear that your Vertigo symptoms have subsided. This is great news.
We hope things continue to improve for you.
Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Fantastic experience: I saw Brigit after injuring my arm during high contact sports training. She was both really knowlegeable and also super nice to work with. We went over quite a few different exercises specific to my injury, and within 3 sessions I was fine again. I would highly recommend Brigit to anyone with a sports injury!
Dear Jessica,
Thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback and we're really happy to hear your arm is feeling better now.

Fantastic experience: I have Parkinsons and that affects me in a number of ways. One way is the presence of TMJ which is a jaw problem. I have tried various ways of mitigating the pain but nothing worked until Maureen applied acupuncture to the area. This has caused a major long lasting improvement
Dear Rob,
Thank you for your wonderful feedback and we're delighted to hear how much Acupuncture has helped you.
Looking forward to seeing you back in clinic again soon.

Fantastic experience: Julie was recommended to me by a family member. After 3 appointments, my symptoms are more than 80% better, I am eating differently, have made significant changes to my diet which I really enjoy, and aim to continue with. I am now on a maintenance plan of dietary changes to support me and a few supplements with a potential review in a few months. I am really happy with the outcome, Julie's knowledge and support was just what I needed and I recommend her to anyone seeking dietary advice and support for their health issues.
Hi Bali,

Fantastic experience: I had Physio treatment with Bridget at the Forge Clinic after a full knee replacement, and it was worth every penny. It is simply not enough to have the exercises on a piece of paper, which is what the NHS give you. Bridget gave me exercises which were completely specific to how I was recovering, and showed me exactly how to do them correctly, and how they should feel when I was doing them properly. I am now skipping around with zero pain, and doing everything I used to do, and more, without any pain. Wonderful!
Hi Jessica,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your Physiotherapy sessions with Bridget. We're delighted to hear you are doing so well, this is great news. Happy skipping!

Fantastic experience: I had two sessions of labour induction acupuncture with Sandra, one at 38 weeks and one at 40 and it was brilliant. So relaxing and I really felt it got my body and mind in the right place for labour. The evening of the second session my first contractions started. I’d been having a lot of pressure to be induced in hospital so I was so happy to go into spontaneous labour. The next day I had a beautiful experience giving birth to my second daughter in the water after a fairly quick and empowering labour. Sandra’s treatments and not least her calming presence and encouragement played a big part in making it the wonderful experience it was. Can’t recommend it enough.
Dear Melkorka,
Congratualtions on the arrival of your lovely daughter and thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience. Such lovely feedback. All the best for your new family.
Vicky Baars
Clinic Director
Positive experience: If you're looking for a clinic that provides a wide range of treatments, then this is it. My wife and I have had a number of osteopath treatments here. Due to the number of practitioners they have, you can find someone that works well for you. For my Osteopath treatments, I like to see Jason Bianchi, I found his approach worked well for me. It's important to find the right person for you. This can make a big difference in your treatment. For my physiotherapy, I see Samuel Harry. I had issue's with pains in my shoulder and neck post surgery. I wasn't sure how Physiotherapy would help, but after seeing Samuel. He really improved my range of movement and my general pain that I had been experiencing. Parking can be tricky due to the location of the clinic, so you may find public transport a better option.
Thanks Darren. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. :)
Vicky
Fantastic experience: Had outstanding treatment from this clinic and have no hesitation in recommending it. The physio I saw (David Silver) cured a painful back problem I'd had for over a month. His diagnosis was spot on and the exercises he recommended completely solved the problem immediately. Almost like magic.
Dear George,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate your feedback. Glad to hear you are feeling so much better.
Have a lovely day!
Vicky
Clinic Director
Fantastic experience: Excellent service from physio Samuel Harry who got me running and training again after an injury this summer. I have been to The Forge a few times before and will be back if needed (not too soon I hope!) - all the people I've seen have been extremely knowledgeable, caring and friendly. The practice itself is modern, welcoming and clean.
Hi Aurélie,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a lovely review for Sam. We're so glad to hear you've had such a positive response to treatment and are back running without issue.
We looking forward to seeing you again in the (not to near) future.
Happy training!

Fantastic experience: Very great clinic with very professional and knowledgable Practitioners After my fist visit I immediately felt better and very grateful to Practitioner Yasmin Jones who helped me with my back pain. Highly recommend Yasmin and the clinic.
Nataliya, it was lovely to meet you yesterday and we are so pleased to hear you had such a great experience with Yasmin. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Fantastic experience: I went to see Sam after a running injury and he was really great and helpful, and he created a very personalised programme so I could start running again. The support staff was always super friendly too. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have suffered from severe pain, swelling and stiffness in both knees for some time, and have been diagnosed with arthritis as in "bone on bone" and I was recommended to try physiotherapy at the Forge Clinic in Richmond, where I was treated by physiotherapist Samuel Harry. He helped with an immediate pain relief, and a structured & tailored exercise plan, in order to rebuild the strength in & around my knees, and ease the swelling. I could easily fit the tailored exercises into a daily routine, and the impact of this was extremely effective. I would warmly recommend to visit Samuel at the Forge, as he helped me to understand the causes of this problem and how to alleviate the pain. I felt comfortable going to the sessions, and always felt motivated to carry on with the exercises when I left a session. At each session, Samuel evaluated the progress and the exercises were modified each week depending on the progress, pain and swelling. And you’ve guessed it; I'm now able to bend my knees, the swelling is minimal and the pain too – I easily and confidently walk 11000 brisk steps every day, and don’t really see the arthritis as a problem in my life anymore thanks to Samuels professional and knowledgeable help! Many thanks,
Dear Christina,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such wonderful feedback for us. Really great to hear how much improvement you have experienced with your pain and mobility. Wonderful news. :)

Vicky
Fantastic experience: The Forge is an excellent clinic with highly knowledgeable practitioners. I recently completed a course of sessions for a dislocated knee. Samuel set a progressive and methodical plan of exercises to get me back to full fitness. Each week he gave me a new routine of exercises that helped rebuild the damage that I had done to my knee, build my confidence and prevent future reoccurrence. I would definitely recommend Samuel to friends and family!
Hi Alan,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're so happy to hear we were able to help. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Jason for quite a few years now. He is my go-to person for any injuries or niggles. Jason can identify the problem very quickly and because he has been trained multi-desciplinary, he is able to use a wide range of techniques and tools to treat whatever the problems may be and whatever the patient is comfortable with. In additon, Jason is very easy-going and puts you at ease. I couldn't recommend him highly enough!!
Hi Sally,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such great feedback for Jason. We are very lucky to have him!

Fantastic experience: David Silver at the Forge Clinic is outstanding. He sorted out my son's back and I am currently a patient for my knee. He has huge insight and inspires confidence. Hugely recommended.

Fantastic experience: As an ex gymnast it’s fair to say I’ve been to my fair share of physios to get patched up over the years. Trust me when I say these people are real experts.I’ve tried all their services from sports massage, physio to their Osteos. I had a back injury which physio couldn’t solve. I went through 9 months of pain and sciatica. 3 sessions with Tristin and he put me back together again. My pain is completely gone and I literally thought I had it for life. I couldn’t be happier with the service. Don’t waste your time elsewhere. This is the place to go. They always listen to you, genuinely want you to better and never give you the hard sell on any treatment like a lot of other places I went to
Ella, thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review and we're delighted that Tristan was able to help with your Sciatica and get you back to your usual activities. This is wonderful news. We're always here to help as and when needed.
Best,
Vicky
Clinic Director
Fantastic experience: Great sports massage, just enough pressure to be therapeutic without being overly painful. My muscles feel much looser and less painful afterwards. I will definitely rebook for another massage

Fantastic experience: Huge thanks to Samuel at the Forge Clinic for really understanding my needs and tailoring his treatment for me. His advice and exercises swiftly helped my runner's knee issues and gave me confidence, and enabled me to complete the Brighton Trail Marathon yesterday in under 6 hours, woohoo!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Janet and well done on completing your marathon, amazing work! I hope the legs are feeling ok today after that big effort!
Best,
Vicky
Fantastic experience: Great treatment with Yasmin on Saturday. She is a very good Osteopath and really helped my shoulder and neck issue.
Thanks for the feedback Alan- glad you had a great treatment on your flying visit to London :)
Fantastic experience: Wonderful and professional phsyios / sports massages that helped me get through my marathon training recently! Can’t wait to come back
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're really happy we were able to help with your marathon training and look forward to seeing you back in clinic again.

Fantastic experience: Samuel has been treating my very painful tennis elbow for the past month. What a massive improvement thanks to effective massage and manipulation as well as a series of easy exercises to do at home.
Hi Susan,
Thank you for sharing your feedback we are delighted to hear that your elbow pain has been improving with Physiotherapy.

The Forge Team
Negative experience: Had to wait 10 mins to begin treatment then finished 5 mins before end of 40 mins so really only had 25 mins allotted time … not value for money …
Hi Helen, thank you for updating your name on here- it was previously listed as name we didn't recognise. We appreciate all the feedback that we get as it helps us to learn what we are doing right and how we can improve. I cannot locate your appointment, please can I ask you to contact me directly to advise when you attended so that I may investigate further. Thank you. Vicky Baars, Clinic Director
Fantastic experience: Great Osteopath Philip McNulty cures all my ills wouldn't go anywhere else
Hi Angie, thank you for your great feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. :)
Fantastic experience: You can trust The Forge in more ways than one! I have so benefited from their various therapists over the years: from intense crisis management to more gentle maintenance programmes, that I thought it was time to say! They have someone for every scenario and it is wonderful to feel cared for under one roof. Physiotherapy, Osteopathy and Accupuncture have all provided perfect relief for me here, during different episodes of my ongoing physical problems. Jason (Osteo) and Vicky ( Reception) recently saved my life too! They insisted on calling an ambulance when I would not have done that myself. Hence preventing disaster. I am eternally grateful. You are in Safe, Effective, and Kind hands at The Forge!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review Avril. We are really glad we were able to help with your recent scare and on a day to day basis. So happy to see you back in clinic looking much better. :)

Fantastic experience: David has been helping me recover from a broken hip and shoulder resulting from a recent cycling accident. David demonstrates the required exercises whilst I video them. I then practice the exercises at home. The sessions are proving to be invaluable in aiding my recovery. First class clinic in all respects.
Hi Geoffrey, thank you for taking the time to leave a review- we really appreciate your feedback. Delighted to hear how much Physiotherapy is helping with your recovery. Please do let us know if we can do anything else to help you get back on the bike.
Best,

Fantastic experience: I suffered with 3 discs slipping in my neck. This was suspected by the clinic practitioners and later shown to be correct in an MRI. I presented to the clinic in dibilitating agony. Their expert staff rehabilitated me over a number of months using both osteopathy and physiotherapy to help the muscles relax and the discs to realign. Their ongoing care, specialist rehabilitation programme and reassurance enabled me to resume my normal active life, safely and return to work. What the team do is not just physical; they are empathetic, understanding and supportive. A great deal of trust is built between client and practitioner due to the nature of the treatment. I wholeheartedly recommend this experienced and caring team.
Sophie, thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're really happy to hear you're back to normal again and are here whenever you need us.
Vicky Baars, Clinic Director
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended for both osteopathy and sports massage. I had the most amazing sports massage before running the London Marathon and it definitely helped me on the day. The clinic is run very professionally and they make you feel welcome and safe.
Thank you for the great feedback Adele, and well done on the marathon- you were amazing!
The Forge Team
Fantastic experience: This was my first visit and I was thoroughly happy with the service I received. I had an acupuncture initial consultation and treatment with Sandra for an ongoing headache I have been suffering from. Sandra was brilliant. I really felt like she understood and listened to me during the consultation which was very thorough. The treatment was very professional and would highly recommend her.
Thank you for your review Jess- lovely to hear such great feedback :) The Forge Team
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with Jason and the team at The Forge. Jason listened attentively to my issue and provided treatment in a very professional manner which has greatly alleviated my level of pain. The whole process from booking to follow-up has been most impressive. I would highly recommend The Forge for anyone seeking professional and thorough treatment with a genuine interest in, and care for patient well-being.
Fantastic experience: I saw Rory re an ankle injury. He quickly ascertained the problem and set out an excellent treatment plan and am now fully recovered. Highly recommended.
Debby, thank you for your feedback, we are really happy to hear you are back on your feet. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback on your experience at The Forge Clinic.
Stay well.
Vicky Baars, Clinic Director
Fantastic experience: Underwent physiotherapy with Bridget Burleigh for a problematic knee. A fantastic service, demeanour and knowledge from Bridget especially during these Covid-safe times. The Forge is fully set-up to deal face to face in a safe manner. Bridget has been nothing but excellent in helping me on the path to recovery including during my relocation to Australia. A word of thanks must go to The Forge front of house reception who are always fantastically helpful too.
Simon, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and we are so pleased that you have had such a positive experience with Bridget and the team. Wishing you the best of luck with your move to Australia and do keep us posted on how you are getting on. Vicky Baars, Clinic Director.
Fantastic experience: I have had a painful foot since the end of January 2021 and have had various treatments from my GP. I then decided to see Alex Townsend (Podiatrist) as he was highly recommended. Alex did the first review via Zoom and then the 2nd review face to face. Alex’s diagnosis was spot on and he asked me to do an exercise which has been very helpful in easing the pain and in the next session, Alex thoroughly examined my foot and he advised me on the next course of action. My foot is so much better thanks to Alex. I can now resume my usual activities. I highly recommend Alex and would not hesitate to go back if I have any further problem with my feet. Thank you Alex
Soheila, thank you for your lovely feedback, it is brilliant to hear that your foot is doing much better. You know where we are if you need us. Best wishes,
Vicky Baars
Clinic Director
Fantastic experience: Very good experience. Very knowable.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. I received physiotherapy treatment from Bridget Burleigh for a frozen shoulder. Bridget has a pleasant and professional manner. A well-managed course of exercises freed me from pain and helped me to regain the whole range of arm movement.
Positive experience: Excellent pregnancy reflexology by Giuliana! Proffesional, friendly and very knowledgable. They also offered me 10% discount when purchased three sessions. NOTE: Whilst I understand my slot would have been allocated to another client, with pre-paid appointments there should be flexibility to change time or date IN CASE of emergency. Not offered flexibility took away the factor or discount from me appealing to pay in advance as loyalty (pre-paying for appointment) and emergency should be appreciated by any business.
Fantastic experience: I saw Sandra for an acupuncture labour preparation session (at 39 weeks). This was my first experience with acupuncture and she was brilliant at explaining the treatment and making sure that I was fully comfortable with her approach. The clinic is lovely, they take great care to observe all the Covid safety procedures, and Sandra made sure that I was comfortable and at ease as she did the treatment. She also took her time to explain some helpful acupressure points that I could practice at home. However, those ended up not being necessary as my labour kicked in shortly after the session and I gave birth to our daughter later that day! The birth was an amazing experience and I am convinced that Sandra’s treatment was a big contributing factor. Many thanks to her and the team at the clinic for their warmth, professionalism and skill!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant advice...
Fantastic experience: I was recommended by a friend and the visit didn't disappoint me. After having lower back pain for several days, a reoccurring problem of mine, Jean Luc Lafitte helped me in one treatment session. He is a very skilled and sensible chiropractor, and more importantly kind, caring and funny! would def recommend to others
Positive experience: Lovely staff and affordable for the area, would definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: Been seeing David for 6 months for a dislocated shoulder and brachial plexus nerve injury, and he's amazing! His vast knowledge and skills gave me so much confidence and trust in him. He truly made a difference physically and emotionally through some difficult times! Staff is always very friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Sandra O'Hagan was a fantastic support to me. I highly recommend her fertility acupuncture. I was 41 when I began seeing her. Her warm, compassionate and highly informative approach made each session relaxing and gave me renewed hope. I am now nearly 6 months pregnant and look forward to continuing my journey with her birth preparation sessions. I could not recommend anyone more highly.
Fantastic experience: Please with the treatment and friendly staff. Good advice after treatment.
Fantastic experience: Really good experience and beneficial results after appointment.
Positive experience: Moderately helpful osteopathic treatment but overall overpriced... What I'm more annoyed about is that I got questionable advice for running shoes (told to go with bigger heel drop and cushion). After reading Jay Dicharry's Anatomy for Runners I've learnt the issue is a lot more complex than shoes and that in fact minimal shoes without cushion are better long term. Anyway, shoes and orthotics don't prevent injuries, changing running form and intensity of training does.
Sandra, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. At The Forge Clinic we try to approach each patient and treat as individually as possible, rather than giving the generic advice you might find online and in books. Our therapists are highly regarded and experienced, they take time to continually be informed by the latest research in order to provide the best service and treatment for all our patients. If you require any further advice on running form, training plans and intensity we would be more than happy to pass this information on. For any further information please get in touch with us directly. Best Wishes. Vicky Baars, Practice Manager
Fantastic experience: I have been coming for a few years now and always happy with the therapist I see. I do recommend
Fantastic experience: Anna McLean is truly dedicated to giving a good massage.
Fantastic experience: Awesome chiropractor... Jean-luc sorts my back like no other, very good place in every way, highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Experience and catered for the professional life style with later opening hours. Very happy to recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Dr. David Silver has been able to explain a long standing issue! He was brilliant in giving a detailed explanation and breaking down the issue and then providing the solution. Very thankful!
