10/10 - Steve is the best healthcare professional I have met after 7 years, in 4 different countries, trying to find solutions to my lower back problems. Thorough and meticulous, Steve spent a considerable amount of time understanding my issues, across my whole body (not just where I feel pain) and understanding my day-to-day life, to not only provide pain relief on the spot with releases, a massage gun and acupuncture, but also with home exercises with movements that translate into my day-to-day life. After a bad flare-up in October, I turned to private healthcare for the first time. I was diagnosed with scoliosis and degenerative disc disease when I turned 18 (7 years ago). Steve asked questions about both conditions, but also my other injuries, identifying relationships with previous injuries to my ankle, knee, and general tightness in my neck all being related via the spine, lower back and hip. He is the first professional who systematically looked at my body from my head to my toes, prescribing exercises and treatments for all parts of my body. Being a student, transitioning to private healthcare was a difficult decision financially, but worth it overall. Before seeing Steve at ChiroProActive, I was mainly seeing an Osteopath and occasionally a traditional Chinese doctor for acupuncture, while waiting for the NHS to provide me with a physio (again). Steve has essentially condensed all this down, saving me money and time. The exercises I get given to work on at home have been more effective than those prescribed by my NHS physio. The 'releases' and deep tissue massage, in addition to the acupuncture, seem to work better overall when delivered coherently by one professional than when previously split across two different professionals (Osteopath and acupuncture). Finally, Steve is passionate about his discipline and has made many references to 'research' and 'literature'. This personally gave me great confidence, as he is clearly engaged in understanding developments in his field and giving modern forms of treatment. Overall, I cannot recommend Steve and ChrioProActive enough!
