Hugh Ruxton Osteopathy Plus - Bridgnorth

Tracy Crawford

I would highly recommend Hugh Ruxton who is an Osteopath based in Bridgnorth Shropshire.

Hugh is trained to a very high standard, extremely professional and passionate in his work and he can make a huge difference in the quality of life for his patients.

I visited Hugh early this year as I was experiencing severe back pain which had a major debilitating impact on my day to day life which led to a lack of confidence as I was in constant fear of moving due to the severity of the pain.

Hugh very quickly was able to tell me I had arthritis in my hip and advised me to seek medical advice. In the interim Hugh was able to manipulate the areas causing the excruciating pain as well as carrying out exercise in the clinic and he provided me with exercises to do at home, all tailored to my needs, which helped to rebuilt my confidence and I no longer have back pain as a result of the treatment and exercises.

Having shoulder pain which referred itself down my arm and into my hand for some months, I attended Hugh’s Bridgnorth clinic and after a few sessions found a relief in my symptoms. Hugh is very gentle, and my treatment was completely pain free which he regularly checked with me. I have now completed my treatment and the pain and other symptoms have completely subsided. Over the course of my treatment he gave me various exercises to do at home which I will use for the future. I highly recommend.

Doctor prescribed pain killers and physio for a shoulder injury, I had already used Qi Gong for years and worked hard to free up the shoulder which would not allow me to raise my arm above my head. Acupuncture and manipulation has solved my problem and I can sleep again without sudden pain turning over and my lateral and upward mobility is nearly 100%. After one session on my back with acupuncture I was able to play golf again when on three previous occasions by 6 holes I couldn't bend. Massage of my feet effected by Diabetic neuropathy has greatly improved my condition. I have every faith in Hugh and would certainly recommend him.His approach is professional and knowledge excellent.

Excellent all round: Hugh listens carefully at the consultation, carries out gentle examination for diagnosis and effective treatment as required. He demonstrates follow up exercises and allows time for you to practice before leaving.

My teenage son had been experiencing intermittent lower back pain for many months, which I naively attributed to too much exercise (tennis and snowboarding) and ‘growing pains’. This progressed to more persistent and at times debilitating pain, which resulted in time off school. Not wanting to see my son in pain and at a loss as to how to help him, I contacted Hugh, following recommendation from my son’s tennis coach. We were able to make a consultation appointment the very same week and were very pleased that we did. Hugh was sympathetic and reassuring, skilled and adaptive in his questioning (of a teenager!) and very clear and thorough in his explanations of what he had observed and felt. Through a combination of massage, stretching and exercise sequences, bespoke to my son’s tennis and snowboarding movements, over three sessions, my son’s pain has completely abated. He is now equipped with a collection of ways to look after and protect his body pre and post exercise and is much more aware of how he holds his body and the impact this can have on holding tension in the lower back. Hugh is an outstanding practitioner and we cannot recommend him enough.

Had my first session with Hugh today due to having issues with my shoulder and ankle and I would highly recommend paying him a visit. He shown a good knowledge which is always a relief and he listened well and discussed my injury in depth but kept it simple. The exercises he shown me and got me to do with very helpful and when he was working on my shoulder he was effective but didn’t make it painful. Very happy with the service.

I developed a problem with both my achilles and hip while driving from the south coast to the Peak District that meant I could only drive for an hour at a time before the pain got so bad I had to stop. Fortunately, I was able to get a last-minute appointment with Hugh – he was really professional and so helpful. The treatment he gave me meant I was able to carry on up to the Peak District with my son, and a few days later I drove back south for six hours with no pain at all. I'm so grateful for his help and advice – without Hugh our holiday would have been ruined. Thank you!

Hugh was amazing, I had 6 weeks of intensive physio twice a week and he knows his stuff, not only did he treat me for the injury, he made sure I understood how to maintain the strength that area. Also showing me new ways to workout without lifting heavyweights also made me understand that rotating movements are just as important as anything else.

He would explain in detail what’s happening every week and he would always test me after every week to see how I’ve progressed.

I would highly recommend Hugh to anyone.
