Osteopath Nottingham – Low Back Pain Specialist
I’m Adam Richmond. I’m an osteopath in Nottingham with over 20 years of experience, specialising in the treatment of low back, hip and pelvic pain. My aim is simple — to help you understand your problem clearly, calm symptoms and rebuild confidence in movement. Many people who might search for physiotherapy in Nottingham or West Bridgford find osteopathic care offers the same hands-on, movement-based approach — but with longer, more personal sessions.
Back Pain & Hip Pain Treatment in Nottingham
Back pain can be frustrating and persistent, especially when you’ve already “tried everything.” My approach combines clear explanation with practical treatment and simple movement strategies so your body can recover naturally. Appointments are unhurried, allowing time to explore what’s really driving your symptoms — whether mechanical, muscular or stress-related.
Formerly, Adam was the osteopath behind the Lace Market Clinic (LMC) in Nottingham which he established in 1995. In 2021, following a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, he closed the doors at LMC and combined forces with his old colleague and friend James Sylvester at Adjust Massage in a role which allows him to focus on the osteopathic work he loves, and James deals with the nuts and bolts of running a business.
Adam’s Approach to Osteopathic Treatment
I specialise in helping people who’ve had failed or short-lived results elsewhere. Every session balances evidence-based medicine with the creativity needed for real-world recovery. My goal is to make sure you leave understanding what’s happening — and how to change it. Your body is remarkable at healing itself; sometimes it just needs a nudge in the right direction.
Osteopathy vs Physiotherapy – What’s the Difference?
Both osteopaths and physiotherapists aim to restore movement and function. The difference lies in the time, individual focus and overall philosophy. Osteopathy takes a whole-body view, integrating joints, muscles and nervous-system sensitivity. If you’re looking for physiotherapy in Nottingham or West Bridgford, consider osteopathy as a proven, hands-on alternative grounded in the same science of movement and load.

Meet Adam Richmond – Registered Osteopath in Nottingham
I graduated from the London School of Osteopathy and have worked with complex and recurring back-pain patients for over two decades. After many years running the Lace Market Clinic, I joined Adjust Massage in 2021, where I now focus solely on clinical work and patient care. I’m married with two young children and believe the best lesson I can pass on to them is to keep helping others, even when life throws challenges your way.
