Proactive Plymouth: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I received treatment from both David and Jacob for the symptoms of cervical spine spondylosis/stenosis, which has been impacting on my functioning. They each worked very differently but I was impressed by their professionalism and care, with realistic expectations of what could be achieved bearing in mind the degenerative nature of my condition. I found notable relief from some of the pain symptoms, for days, welcome respite from ongoing head/neck/jaw pain, which is not alleviated by medication unfortunately. It’s good to know this is available to me when I’m struggling, and although the relief isn’t permanent, I’m grateful to have this as an option.
Hi Lisa, its great we can get you some relief. I'll pass your kind words onto Jacob.
Regards Proactive
Fantastic experience: I had a 3d scan today and treatment via exercise, manipulation .... what can I say, I walked out feeling as light as a feather....Jacob was amazing explaining and advising me.... thank you Jacob .
Hi Sharon, thank you for your feedback, i'll let Jacob know.
Regards Proactive
Fantastic experience: Visited Proactive Plymouth recently with an ongoing issue that has been causing me pain in my right leg for over 2 years. After visiting numerous other specialists over the course of 18 months I was still experiencing pain. Jacob located the problem and within just one session was able to relieve the pain successfully. Absolutely fantastic, thank you.
Hi Donela,
Thank you for your kind words about Jacob. We are glad to help with your recovery.
Best regards Proactive
Fantastic experience: I came to David yesterday with lower back pain and he was able to identify the cause and get rid of the pain in one treatment! Very informative, explains the cause, treatment and prevention in the future. I’ve been in discomfort for a long time, now I feel great! Recommend anyone with discomfort/pain to get booked in Thank you
Thanks for your feedback Sophie, great news.

Fantastic experience: I have been treated by David Mudge for 19 years and i have always been so grateful for his treatment. He always does excellent work for my back pain and I would never go anywhere else. I would highly recommend anyone who needs any form of treatment to see David Mudge. Such a genuine and excellent practitioner.

Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with Proactive Plymouth! Your feedback inspires us to continue providing high-quality care and support to our community.
Fantastic experience: Went for the 3D body scan, very glad I did, Josh has been great, gave lots of advice to help myself at home and for getting healthier. Would recommend them very much
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! Your recommendation means a lot, and we’re glad to have been a part of your wellness path.
Fantastic experience: Initially went to proactive osteopathy on recommendation to overcome lower back caused by misaligned pelvis. Dave was brilliant, saw me the same day I enquired and with continued maintenance sessions keeps me mobile & pain free. More recently have torn a knee ligament & knew Dave would fix me! He called me soon after I messaged and found time in his busy day to see me. Dave explains everything clearly, is so knowledgeable and has a real passion to reduce pain, aid mobility & help without any unnecessary appointments. Highly recommend Dave & Proactive Osteoppathy team.
Fantastic experience: First time I have had to have my back looked at and coming to this place was definitely the best decision I made. David not only help reset my hip and back, he took time in helping me understand what I needed to do to avoid causing myself any future injuries. Best of all, he was able to go out of his way and see me within a couple of hours rather than waiting a few days to be seen. For me, this shows someone who actually cares about people and is passionate about what he does. Thank you again. Mark
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that your first experience with us at Proactive Plymouth was a positive one.
Fantastic experience: After putting my back out just 2 days before a long haul flight, Dave fitted me in that day and worked miracles, meaning I was able to enjoy my holiday! Cannot review highly enough.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and glad to hear you had a good holiday!

Fantastic experience: I went to Proactive for my back/hips. I didn’t know what to expect, but they work on not only the spine, but also all the muscles groups. Through the use of a body scanner it has given a fascinating insight into the imbalances with my muscles and something tangible to work with. I am building up to an endurance event in the Summer and hoping to work with the team at Proactive to get me in best balanced shape I can. Well worth a visit .
Thanks Simon.
Regards Proactive
Fantastic experience: I recently went to have the 3d postural scan which tells you all about your posture, bones and muscles and confirms what you need the team to work on. It was amazing, really fascinating, it showed I have a twisted pelvis which has been causing lower back pain. Dave and the team have worked on realignment and I am already feeling better. I would definitely recommend this if you are having any issues.
Hi Charlotte thank you for your review. Best regards Proactive
Fantastic experience: Have has the 3D scan which showed my muscles and spinal structure, it was fascinating and very detailed, Imogen is a amazing member of the team, she is so knowledgeable and takes times to listen to your concerns but then folllows this up with a plan which is so appreciated.
Thank you Clare, I'll pass your kind words onto Imogen. Regards Rob
Fantastic experience: I originally booked in with Dave a year ago with serious back pain after an injury & he was absolutely fantastic & treated me back to full health within a couple of sessions. I’ve been back since then with other problems with Dave & Imogen who’s really helped with constant fantastic customer service & treatment. I have since recommended so many friends and family to go and get treated too and they’ve always come back with glowing reviews too. HIGHLY recommend
Thank you Omega, I'll pass on your kind words to the team.
Fantastic experience: Dave was amazing even after the 1st visit my back was so much better and I could tell a difference immediately. He made me feel so much better. Thanks so much Dave
Thank you for your kind words Hayley. I'll pass them onto Dave.
Fantastic experience: I have seen numerous professional people over the years , physios , chiropractors and spent a considerable amount of money without getting relief. Dave has a caring and cheeky personality and treats his patients with respect and empathy- he knows his stuff and I come out feeling like a spring chicken . Rome wasn’t built in a day but each time I go I feel the benefit as soon as my treatment is over . Thanks Dave - you’re a life saver .
Thanks Luke, I'll pass on your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Top quality service, perfect physio support from Imogen, the tailored exercises and the online portal are excellent. Dave is a living legend who's experience is priceless for anyone suffering with pain. A shining example of what a great team can do, would 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: Dave is highly professional and very good at what he does and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others
Fantastic experience: Excellent service would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: So I went to see Dave mudge that was recommended to me by my dad. He is excellent at what he does. I have been in a lot of pain for a long time with a sciatic nerve. I have had 6 sessions with him now and I can walk a lot more and stand up straight now. I have recommended him to everyone that I know and they have been going. I was very depressed for a long time and I couldn’t work properly, now after just 6 sessions I am super happy in myself and more confident. I will definitely see Dave for any other treatments needed. Xx
Positive experience: Went to see Toby as a last resort after suffering for weeks with a sore right hip and knee. Wasn't sleeping well and was in constant pain. After 3 sessions I have been pain free and sleeping well. Not only did Toby identify the problem but he assisted me with stretches and exercises to do to ensure that the problem doesn't reoccur. Always friendly and professional will definitely recommend to others
Fantastic experience: I have been having issues with pain and movement in my shoulder recently and Toby has been beyond brilliant in getting me back to normality in my life. Lovely guy, couldn’t recommend enough!
Fantastic experience: I’m 21 and unfortunately very injury prone due to all the sport I do, about a year ago I had a knee operation but have had issues getting me knee back to pre-op condition ever since. Iv had a few different (quite experienced) physios but none of them have really been able to help me fix it. I started having some sessions with Toby a few weeks back to see if he could help, he was very professional and very knowledgeable and after just a couple of weeks my knee is already feeling better than it has done in well over a year ! Thanks for your help Toby !
Fantastic experience: I went to Tobias with lower back pain and boy is he a miracle worker. I went to a few osteopaths previously and they seemed quite new and unsure of what they where doing. Toby on the other hand Knows what he is doing. after an hour of treating my back, the relief was incredible. not completely gone but certainly much better. He also sorted out my shoulder which has had pain since a rollerblading accident 8 years ago. I am definitely going back for more treatment with my back. 10/10 would recommend to anyone experiencing muscular or skeletal soreness and pain. Cheers Toby.
Fantastic experience: I have been suffering with a stiff lower back for some time and as a landscape gardener I needed to get it sorted and back fit again. Tobias worked his magic and I walked out feeling a so much better, which made a huge difference the following day when I had to get back to the daily grind. Great Service.
Fantastic experience: Had a treatment with Toby, really helped with my back pain and feel a lot better now. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Excellent Tobby has streathen my back and muscle. I'm now easing with the pain and reducing medication . Tobby is excellent polite make you feel at ease recommend him to anyone at any age . Thanks Tobby
Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend proactive enough, two visits to Toby in Plymouth with a frozen shoulder and I now have more movement in my shoulder than I ever have before. Ive found proactive more helpful than my own gp who usually sends me off with pain relief and a prescription for rest. I also mentioned I suffered with lower back problems and he’s helping with that too. Highly recommend for anyone not sure if it’s worth going, definitely worth it and you’ll wish you went sooner.
Fantastic experience: I was suffering with some lower back pain. Toby assesed the problem and sorted it out for me. Very friendly and professional service!
Fantastic experience: I have been to see Tobias twice now. At the first visit, I was experiencing lower back pain, that was quite severe and was affecting my every day life. Tobias was very professional and thorough, whilst also ensuring I felt comfortable at all times. He treated me with soft tissue deep massage, manipulations and intense stretches. From what has been a very long standing pain, despite visits to other osteopaths, to no pain. The only reason I have been to see him for a second time is to underpin the initial work that he did and to remain in the pain free state that I am currently really enjoying! I have booked in to see Tobias again next month. Thanks to him, I have increased my gym regime, become stronger, fitter and due to no pain, happier.
Fantastic experience: Suffered with shoulder pains, Toby sorted it ,great service, very friendly and would highly recommend to family and friends
Fantastic experience: Dave is a fantastic therapist. Always going above and beyond to fix me. I had a bad car accident 12 years ago and had been in agony since. Seeing Dave has corrected my pelvis and stopped the pain i was experiencing daily. Thanks Dave for diving me my life back
Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional service. Felt the benefits of the treatment almost immediately. Would highly recommend and will be using again.
Fantastic experience: Professional but kind helpful and knowledgeable. Felt relaxed and at ease. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Have suffered from a bad back for years due to dancing but have to helped it massively and gave me exercises and since my has never felt better! Always flexible with fitting me in around my work and life and excellent customer service. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Without doubt, not only kind and helpful, but he is extremely good at what he does. He is an excellent osteopath, he will find the problem quickly and accurately and will treat you tailored to your specific needs. He has many years of experience and is a true professional. I have and will continue to recommend him to many of my friends and family.
Thank you Aliyah, keep doing the exercises. Regards Dave
