“I am very pleased to be able to see Albie regularly for massage. He is highly skilled and experienced, and hugely knowledgeable. I have had a significant increase in my mobility and a welcome reduction in pain as a result of his treatment.” ST

“I started as a client of Albie’s in 2005 for therapeutic massage for my neck and shoulders, 3 visits a year kept me working.
In 2015 I suffered a complex injury leading to chronic back and leg pain. Without Albie’s help, I believe I would not now be able to walk as well and be off the cocktail of strong painkillers. I feel the benefit of his therapeutic massage after each session (usually 4-6 weeks apart), which
has enabled me to keep mobile and over time reduce my painkillers. He is very knowledgeable
about how everyday actions impact on different muscles and has been able to identify what I was doing to cause particular pain reactions and prevent further damage.
I had some helpful NHS physiotherapy sessions but few and far between. Going regularly to
Albie kept me motivated and focused on recovery. He persuaded me to start exercising at the
pool (despite my reluctance at the time), and suggested simple exercises in the water which
proved the turning point in my rehabilitation.
The Hands-on Health centre is always clean, bright, warm and welcoming. Reception staff are
always delightful and helpful. Albie checks on my health and therapy priorities at the start of each session. He is always professional and courteous and sensitive to how I am feeling emotionally and physically.
Whether you need a massage for occasional maintenance or more regular therapy,
I have no hesitation in recommending Albie at Hands-on Health.” Lynne

“Phenomenal!! What a great experience I had at Hands-on Health, starting with an initial consultation with Albie to find out what issues I had and who would be best to help my particular problem, pelvic pain and carpel tunnel. I was offered the help of Jayne who was wonderful! I had a combination of manipulation, stretching and acupuncture .. and now even 2 months on I am completely pain free! Miracle work! I am so incredibly grateful to them for allowing me to finally be pain free after such a long time. I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending them.. And to top it off they re all so lovely and understanding.” Claire

“After two slipped discs in the past, and a lot of arthritis now, I see Dave Evans every four weeks for chiropractic maintenance care. His treatment makes such a difference to the way I live my life. I need two men in my life – one is my husband, the other is Dave! He’s brilliant, and I recommend him to everybody!” Carol

“I have been doing a weekly session of TRX with Albie for a few years. He is a brilliant trainer as is the TRX exercise which is perfect for all ages and abilities. Thanks to Albie I am fitter and stronger as a 72 year old than I was when I was much younger.” Susan
...
“I have knee and low back issues and a rotator cuff problem, and was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis; my husband injured his back when he was in his 40s. As a result, we have both been seeing Dave Evans for regular chiropractic treatment for a long time – he straightens us up, puts us right and we go out smiling! He really keeps us going, and he’s always ready to chat too. We’ve recommended him to lots of people.” Sue and Terry

“A friend recommended I try Hands-on Health after two appointments with the NHS physio that misdiagnosed a frozen shoulder and offered only cortisone shots for relief (when I cannot take cortisone). The pain was so acute that I had trouble sleeping. One session with Albie began to ease the pain (sufficient for sleep). Regular visits thereafter returned my shoulder to almost perfect mobility within about 15 months, much faster than the normal healing time for frozen shoulder. Now I have Hands-on Health on speed-dial, for any time I manage to overdo something (which seems to be easier to do as I get older). The sessions are not always 'fun', but cheeky Albie keeps me laughing even through some challenging massage.” Lynn

“I have suffered with disc and SI joint issues after 25 years of landscaping work. Dave’s chiropractic treatments have been a crucial part of my recovery and ongoing postural improvement. My wife also goes to him for treatment. His attitude, professionalism and pleasant manner are second to none.” Richard and Tracey
...
“I have spondylitis, and I see Dave Evans for chiropractic treatment whenever I get into trouble with it. He helps me get back on my feet, and has become part of my management of the condition. He’s never let me down.”
...
"I’ve seen Albie several times over the years and have found his treatments extremely beneficial. I like to run long distances and find his pre race and post race massages help improve performance and recovery.” David
...
“I started seeing Dave many years ago. It is very important to me to find someone who provides a consistency of care but to the professional standard that Dave provides. If I have a new issue, he is always able to find a way to treat it and will give me ideas on how to continue to address the issue at home to prevent further aggravating the situation. Dave is incredibly knowledgeable and has a vast experience in his field. He is very easy to talk to and remembers past conversations which means I don’t have to repeat myself at each treatment. I would highly recommend Dave to anyone looking for a chiropractic treatment.” Anna
