I have been treated by James Rousseau for various issues over the past twenty years - Back problems and plantar faciitis. But I only see James when I am in pain. He calmly deals with my 'end of the world' position, "Will I ever walk again? Do I need to buy a wheelchair?" Then he just focuses on my problem. A month ago, I was struggling to walk from my lounge to the kitchen. Three treatments later and I am fully mobile and pain-free. Great value, very friendly staff, so it is a big thank you from me. I cannot recommend James highly enough. Do not hesitate.

I am a tennis coach who suffered back pain for 6 long years. During that time, I agreed to everything the NHS suggested (X-ray, MRI, physio, pilates, acupuncture, TENS, pain management clinic, drugs, and epidural injection). Nothing worked. I then tried the private treatment, including three visits to an osteopath called Charles Reid in Bromley who I knew from my A level college. He couldn't help either. Then my back pain got a lot worse. I could barely walk and got sharp stabbing pain every time I coughed, sneezed or laughed (not that I had much to laugh about). Obviously I could no longer work as a tennis coach. I was wary of chiropractic because 20 years ago I was wrongly diagnosed by a chiropractor here in Orpington and received treatment which made my back problem at the time even worse. But I was desperate, and felt I had tried everything else apart from surgery - no way would I agree to that (which, ridiculously, is what the osteopath suggested btw). So I gave chiropractic another go. I chose the Chiropractic Health Centre because they seemed very professional, and also because JB was happy with the 3-year-old NHS X-Ray I showed him (another chiropractor in Orpington was insistent that I needed to pay him to do another more up-to-date X-ray which I objected too). After three sessions with JB, my back was less tense, so I felt that progress was being made. After 8 sessions in total, I could walk freely again (and the severe pain from coughing, sneezing, laughing had gone). I took his advice (walking every day, gentle exercises, etc), and started coaching again without pain. After enjoying one whole year of relief, I felt confident enough to start playing tennis again (again, completely pain-free). I believe in giving credit where credit is due, so I highly recommend JB and the Chiropractic Health Centre.

Very friendly and helpful and explained all to me. I would definitely recommend to others.

I have been seeing Jonathan for many years and always find him very friendly and professional. He manages to sort out whatever problems I keep getting and I always leave with my pain relieved. Also, in addition, there is no problem trying to park as there are plenty of spaces. Friendly reception and lovely waiting area. I can honestly recommend.

I have been lucky enough to have had treatments from James, Ester and Chnanis and cannot speak too highly of the results. Consultations are thorough and I am informed, in detail, what is necessary and why. The most beneficial aspect is the way in which all therapists work together to ensure optimum results. The people at the reception welcome me in a friendly manner while remaining professional. In short, Riverside CARE about their clients. Although it was recommended to me by a family member, it has surpassed anything I was expecting.

I would highly recommend this clinic. It's clean and organised. The staff are extremely helpful and go out of their way to accommodate you. Pascal and AnneMarie are very professional and reassuring. They put your mind at ease and make your visit as comfortable as possible.
