ChiroProActive

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!

I visited steven with 3 chronic sport related injuries - knee, hip and shoulder. with initial assessment he took a detailed history of my injuries and then laid out a plan to get them resolved. after listening to his plan and following to them to the tee, i saw some initial progress. however after some time the progress slowed. steven tweaked a few things and again i began to see progress. the progress made in just a couple of months from seeing steven has been really amazing. can't recommend him enough.

Following a flare up of an old injury, i struggled at the start of the year with considerable lower back and neck pain. after a thorough assessment and initial treatment by steven, the pain eased significantly after my first session. a further two treatment sessions, alongside strengthening exercises to practice at home, resulted in being almost completely pain free. cannot recommend steven and his chiroproactive team highly enough!

Highly recommend, steve did an amazing job treating lower back pain not only through adjustments but through a treatment plan over a period of time which strengthened the targeted areas.

I'm in my 30s and i've had a dodgy shoulder due to work, which had been giving me trouble for the whole year. from my first appointment i got some great advice alongside exercises to work on, which have made a huge difference and reduced the pain i was having. huge relief for me and i'd highly recommended them.
