I went in to see Hussein with sudden sharp pain in my shoulder, I could barley move. Within the first session he located the problem, got to work and elevated the pain. I went back in two days later for a follow up session and by the end of that day I felt no pain at all. I am going back to see him for more preventative treatments. Thanks so much Hussien.
I have been a patient of the wonderful Hussein Eshref at Canonbury Clinic of Osteopathy for almost 20 years. His expertise, experience and incredibly caring / gentle bedside manner make his sessions healing both physically and emotionally. He's a master at getting right to the stress point. I always leave the appointment with not only pain relief and alignment, but an overall lightness of being. I cannot recommend Hussein highly enough.
Oh thanks so much Emma for your kind and considered words.
You would be hard-pressed to find a better osteopath than Hussein Eshref. He is a great listener with an innate understanding of the body who does his work with gentle and decisive strength. I have gone to Hussein on multiple occasions with issues to do with my back and plantar fasciitis. His work was instrumental in getting me through them. Hussein is a true professional who also gives off the wonderful vibe of a healer. I have the ultimate confidence in him and cannot recommend him enough.
Thank you Joe for your considered words. Appreciate it
I've been a client of Canonbury Clinic Of Osteopathy for something like 20 years, especially during a phase of my life when I trained for marathons, triathlons and even a white-collar boxing match. I would come to Hussein with a new strain, sprain or pull and without fail he would make me feel better within a few visits. He simply knows what he's doing so it's easy to trust him but he is also willing to invest in the latest technology to speed up the healing process. I have complete faith in Hussein's abilities and I would recommend him to anyone... I already do!
It's been a pleasure to treat you and Ami over the years Jamie. Thanks for the great review
On arrival in Islington nearly 30 years ago, I needed a good osteopath given the back injuries I had sustained in my youth and fortunately I stumbled upon Hussein. From the get-go I was impressed with him; he always gives a thorough holistic assessment/review, provides very hands-on treatment and is very knowledgeable and approachable. I also have a solid confidence in his abilities even at those potentially scary neck/back cracking moments. Many years later, he still remains my go-to osteopath and TBH I'm not sure what I would do without his input, keeping me mobile and pain free. I would definitely recommend him to others as a cracking good osteopath.
We feel fortunate to have found Hussein. He has treated three generations of my family over the last decade, with exceptional care and professionalism. His expert knowledge, advice, calm manner and clear explanations make a big difference, and he makes young people feel confident and at ease. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
Thank you Juliana. It's been a real pleasure to see you and your family over the years.
Hussein is an absolute lifesaver - I've struggled with back pain for 20+ years, and he always gets me back on my feet when I get spasms or other acute episodes, does a great job with maintenance and prevention, and has taught me a lot about how to change my habits and lifestyle to avoid future injuries. And he's a wonderful person on top of that. Whenever a friend has back issues I send them his way - couldn't recommend him enough!
It's been a delight to treat you, your wife and a whole host of your friends. Without exception, all lovely people. Thank you
I have always found Hussein very professional, focused and immensely helpful in knowing what the problem is and finding the solution. Sometimes in just one visit! I highly recommend him as an osteopath.
Thanks Jody. It's certainly been a journey of recovery. Pleased to be able to play my part.
I first attended Canonbury Clinic in early 1990s and have had regular appointments throughout subsequent years, making many recommendations to friends and colleagues in the music, audio and film industries. The range of holistic treatment offered at Canonbury Clinic of Osteopathy has provided me an insightful diagnosis, well-devised treatment plans, osteopathic treatment sessions and advice on supplements, diet, exercise and referral to other medical specialists, and Harley Street laboratories for scans and X-rays as required. Directed by Hussein Eshref, Canonbury Clinic provides an overall health treatment facility for life, including psychosomatic treatment involving a combination of physical and psychological pathways, including stress management techniques. Hussein's in-depth diagnosis style, guidance and recommendations for treatment includes helpful suggestions for a balanced diet, mindfulness therapies and lifestyle changes. I highly recommend Canonbury Clinic of Osteopathy, Hussein Eshref for an advanced, inclusive, and cohesive holistic treatment plan for life.
Thanks so much Ian for your thoughtful and considered review. Appreciate your support
I have been seeing Hussein for my ongoing neck tightness/pain for around 6 years now. He is incredibly knowledgeable and capable as an osteopath and the treatment he provides is very effective, giving me great relief from my neck issue. He is professional and friendly and a real expert in this field. With Hussein's support and advice have been able to improve and manage my condition. I would be happy to recommend Hussein to anyone!
I have been coming to see Hussein for about 20 years now for various issues including spondylosis, slipped disc and sciatica. He is an amazing osteopath, extremely knowledgeable and generally a nice guy. On the odd occasion when I've had to visit another osteopath due to our calendars not matching up, it's made me realise how brilliant Hussein is, he's just a cut above anyone else out there. If anyone ever mentions anything about back/neck problems I immediately recommend Hussein as I can guarantee they will feel relief and get the results they want. I would definitely recommend Hussein and if there were 10 stars, I would have given 10!
That's very kind of you to say such lovely things Sheila. Thank you
I have been seeing Hussein at the Canonbury Clinic for over 20 years. I have always received excellent treatment and advice for many muscular skeletal injuries. Hussein is a very experienced and gentle Osteopath using traditional and modern treatments. He always puts you at ease and explains in detail about your condition and the treatment. I would highly recommend him.
Hussein has treated me for over 8 years and through two pregnancies. Many phases of life and changing physical states. He's a brilliant osteopath. Professional, patient and most importantly his treatments are effective. I've recommended him to many friends and will continue to!
Hussein has been a life saver and has helped me on and off for 20 years when my back was sore and stiff. He is the very best and believe me when I say I searched high and low to find him. I used to run an Engineering office and spent too long at a desk and not enough time stretching or exercising. Go and see him. He has so much experience and will know what to do!
Thank you David. We certainly go back a long way don't we
I have been seeing Hussein for a few years now and he always fixes me. I have also sent lots of people to him, including my teenage children. He is a wonderful warm person and we have great chats during treatment. I thoroughly recommend seeing him.
Thanks so much Alison. I enjoy our chats too. You've got a lovely family. Pleasure to treat you all
Hussein is an incredible osteopath.. very understanding and works his magic meaning you're pain-free and back to your normal activities in no time. I highly recommend him.
Hussein just "gets it" when you're someone that wants to keep moving despite the limitations of our bodies. He communicates throughout the session and provides simple and effective aftercare which, as a result, you're more likely to adhere to.
Thank you for your supportive words Dara. Appreciate it
Initially I came in for an emergency neck fix, but it quickly became a whole body recovery. I've become a regular and discovered I can live without pain. Could not recommend enough.
Yes, the stairs are a bit of a hardship. May think about a stairlift at some point...
I have been treated by Mr Eshref for several years for back troubles, joint issues and sciatica. Every time I've seen him he's always been professional, very knowledgeable and always able to make me feel better.
Thank you for your considered words Mr Degson. Appreciate the positive feedback
I can't recommend highly enough. I have had a number of sports related issues over the years and Hussein always has a plan and something that helps. Give him a go!
It's been a pleasure to treat you over the years Jackie. Thank you for your kind words
I have been coming to Sarah Dawn since July 2024 when I was pregnant. It was important to me to find a therapist who was qualified for pregnancy massages - she made me feel safe and the treatment was tailored to areas which were painful for me at the time. I felt like she really listened to me but also made me feel comfortable. I've seen Sarah regularly since giving birth for deep tissue massages. I always recommend her to my friends and at the time fellow NCT-mums to be, who all said she's fantastic. Definitely recommend - she's the best!!
Hussein is a brilliant Osteopath, highly recommended. Been coming back for about a year now for a few issues and have always received effective treatment.
I've been seeing Hussein for 18 months now and initially visited due to ongoing issues with my upper and lower back. I had seen numerous professionals prior regarding my back issues with no positive results. I now recommend Canonbury Clinic to colleagues and friends as his treatment has helped me a lot. During the sessions Hussein will always discuss the session's treatment plan and his thoughts moving forward. Allowing me to understand the process and stay as fit and healthy as possible.
Many thanks for your positive assessment! So good to know your sessions are contributing to your fitness and health.
I have been visiting The Canonbury Clinic for over 18 years; I have chronic issues that are managed monthly by Hussein. He is extremely professional and always delivers. You may well be in agony after a treatment, this is good; it means he has targeted the correct parts of your body. The next day you will feel brand new! I have recommended Hussein to many people and will continue to do so.
Thanks so much for your review. Sorry to hear about the agony post treatment! But so good to know that you feel great the next day.
Hussein and the clinic is a treasure. He is a brilliant osteopath and a fully rounded and highly experienced practitioner. Hussein helped me to understand the root of my ailments and gives holistic and comprehensive advice and a way forward in order to get better. This is a combination of treatment and self-help. The same approach applies to Canonbury Natural Health Clinic - a carefully selected group of individuals and practitioners. Go see them!
I've been seeing Hussein regularly for 10 years or more and the guy is a genius. More often than I can remember, I have left his clinic a transformed man. I would highly recommend to anyone and have done so often!
Hussein is a living legend in the world of Osteopathy! I have seen him for over 14 years! He can usually tell my issue by looking at the way I'm standing or moving! I train heavy weights and ju jitsu so have picked up a fair number of injuries over time! He has always managed to resolve them quite fast by treating the underlying issues not just the symptoms! I now live in west London but travel 45 mins just to see him as there is no one at his level in London! Once you have tried the others go see him and he will sort it!
Thanks for the wonderful review and your kind words Ravi! Much appreciated!
Two years of sciatica, tingling legs, sore feet, six practitioners later, and then I found Hussein. Yay. In a short time I have come to value his expertise and insight enormously.
Thanks so much for taking the time to review. We really appreciate your kind words and, above all, are so glad that Hussein has been helpful to you. Yay indeed!
Hussein came recommended and I can understand why. He gives sound advice, delivers excellent treatment and is always focused on progress.
