Why Choose Us?

After experiencing back pain for several years my daughter recommended that I visit Sian, after several treatments and carrying out the exercises recommended by Sian, my posture has improved and the pain I was experiencing has almost gone. I cannot recommend Sian highly enough for the professional service provided.

Shoulder pain drove me into the healing hands of Active Health. It was hard work for a few weeks but now I feel brilliant, I have better posture and I’ve discovered a neck I’d almost forgotten I had. Active Health really listened to me everytime I went; didn’t just slap me on a table and do “the usual”. Highly recommended.

I thought I could just battle through the continuous lower back pain and discomfort … however it impacted upon my mobility and wellbeing to the point that I dreaded even getting up from or sitting down on a chair or getting in or out of a car … my quality of life was being truly affected. Even short walks or standing for a period of time left me immobolised the following day. I attempted to make my own diagnosis – how wrong I was! But after visiting Sian at Active Health with her extensive medical knowledge, clear explanations and approachable, caring manner I was able to obtain a correct diagnosis and receive the appropriate treatment plan which gave me great confidence and eased my suffering. I can prove quite cynical at times! But please, you owe it to yourselves to contact Sian at Active Health to receive an accurate medical assessment and treatment plan that will address current problems and will help to prevent reoccurring health issues further down the line.

I have suffered with neck and lower back problems for many years and although prescribed pain killers and anti-inflammatory tablets helped they only relieved the symptoms. When I went to see Sian she was concerned with finding the cause of the pain. She was kind, considerate and her quiet manner put me at ease. Her approach was professional and through and she went to great lengths to explain both the problem and treatment in terms I could understand. Initially I saw Sian for two sessions a week and within quite a short time I could feel some improvement. Visits became weekly and the pain and discomfort continued to reduce and I had much more movement in my neck and shoulders. The exercises she suggested have been very beneficial and have allowed me to help myself. She has given me a greater understanding of my body and made me aware of how parts are inter-related. I shall continue to have more treatments from and Sian and would recommend  her to anyone experiencing problems similar to mine.

I first started seeing Sian after experiencing some pain in my hips when running. She was so thorough on my first visit taking a real whole body approach to not only treat my localised pain but to also discover why my hips were hurting in the first place. She designed a full treatment plan involving some soft tissue work, dry needling, manipulation alongside stretches and exercises that I could do at home and had me running pain free in no time. Not only that but Sian really helped me to understand why it was that my hips had started to hurt in the first place and how I could help to prevent it in the future. I would highly recommend Sian to anyone and have done to many of my friends. Her thorough and careful approach always makes me feel like I am in safe hands. I continue to go to Sian sporadically throughout the year for a bit of a ‘check up’ and stretch out because I always feel better and much straighter after seeing her! Thanks Sian, you keep me exercising 

Been visiting Sian at Active Health on and off for over a year regarding intermittent back/hip issues caused by running. I can highly recommend her to anyone, normally after only 1 – 2 visits I am completely fixed (touch wood) and ready to carry on enjoying my running. Very friendly and understanding and I like the accupuncture too. Also great at fitting in appointment times that suit, thanks!

 I first went to see Sian when the lower back pain I had been experiencing for a while had started to get worse when standing or sitting for too long. I had also been suffering from hip pain and stiffness whilst running which I had been doing regularly for a number of years. I was hopeful that the treatments would help relieve some of the pain. After a series of sessions the difference was very noticeable in the mobility in the muscles around the hip joint and the affected areas had returned and felt like new joints! Allowing Sian to work through a series of treatments over a period of time meant that the stiffness and problems that had built up over many years had been sorted which meant that my physical activity day to day improved drastically and any pain had gone.

I was treated by Sian for a painful, stiff neck and frozen shoulder. At the time of my first appointment I was unable to turn my head to look over my shoulder and had limited movement in my shoulder. I wasn’t sure that chiropractic treatment could help my shoulder but I couldn’t have been more wrong! Sian was extremely professional and instantly put me at ease by explaining what treatment options were available, how she could help me and things I could do at home to help myself. After a full examination I had a six week course of treatment for around an hour per week. I recovered swiftly full movement in my neck and shoulder and I feel my posture has improved, I’ve even noticed that my headaches have gone! I have no hesitation in highly recommending Sian. I wouldn’t hesitate to visit her again for any aches and pains I may have. She is a multi-skilled practitioner with a kind and caring attitude. I can’t thank her enough.

I have been suffering from lower back pain and limited mobility  for over a decade. At times the pain and stiffness could last for weeks. After a consultation with Sian she quickly diagnosed the issue and after a couple of treatments I was better than ever. The frequency of my back problems has reduced dramatically, I would highly recommend a visit to Sian if you are suffering from back pain.
