Back To Active Osteopathy

Fantastic experience: Have been going to see Imogen weekly since injuring my calf playing football and the difference she has made is incredible. It's my first time going for physiotherapy and would highly recommend Imogen if you are in need!

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen Abby a few times now. She’s brilliant, she listens to me, she’s very thorough and keeps my legs in good condition now I’m training for a few races. Highly recommended her and will continue to book in sessions to help my legs recover and also prevent injury.

Fantastic experience: Great facility and Abby provides an excellent service, she listened to my requirements and asked questions to make sure she provided the right sports massage for my needs.

Fantastic experience: I don’t usually do reviews but Back to Active really deserves one. In a nutshell, I crawled in broken last week. Walked out an hour later with a spring in my step or certainly more of a spring than I’d imagine! I generally suffer from back pain and last week wasn’t my best. Called them on Friday morning and booked in for the afternoon. I’ve just had a second session and really do feel freed up now. A real 5-star review from me - going there has really made a difference for me.

Fantastic experience: Abbie is an amazing sports massage therapist! She is so strong & has a great technique!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Abby for several months for various niggles and issues and she has been fantastic at sorting them out for me. I highly recommend her and will definitely continue treatments.

Fantastic experience: Thank you for all your help with my Achilles tendon! I can’t wait to get back up running again soon.

Fantastic experience: After my treatment with Imogen l feei like a newborn gazelle and am looking forward to running again with a spring in my feet

Fantastic experience: Thank you to Abby Hutchins for getting me back to playing sport very quickly with sorting issues with my shoulder & lower back !! I highly recommend, Henry

Fantastic experience: It’s a revelation to find a therapist as strong and attentive as Abby! When you book a sports massage you are looking to walk Out feeling ‘fixed’ and that is exactly how I felt. Thorough consultation led to Abby focussing on the exact areas that needed the work

Fantastic experience: Abby is a fantastic Sport Massage Therapist. I’d been suffering from a shoulder injury and Abby’s been a fantastic throughout my recovery. Cannot recommend enough, I was feeling better from the very first appointment

Fantastic experience: I have developed various and increasing aches and pains over the years and have had literally, years of NHS referrals & exercise regimes which I’ve have adhered to but after a privately paid hip replacement went wrong I found myself in a downward spiral. I believe all are connected so wanted to consolidate them. ‘Back to Active’ is exactly what I need. I’ve always been an avid walker, cyclist and maintained a good fitness level with classes and swimming. I now need a consistent approach, someone who can help with my overall difficulties, not see each one independently., I’ve been seeing Imogen for some weeks now and I have a clear home exercise routine (which is growing!!) which I’m working on and I’m seeing positive results. I’m getting stronger. Imogen is very knowledgeable, i appreciate the consistency, soft tissue treatment & ‘reviews’ so i can steadily and positively progress.

Fantastic experience: Would 100% recommend back to active, there is a range of professionals to seek help from. You can even book online consultations to get advice. All have great personalities making a relaxed yet professional environment. They also do shockwave, cupping, dry needling and orthotics. Bathroom on sight. On the ground floor, just one step to get into the clinic. Richard - Only Osteopath with many years of experience treating a range of injuries. Milli - lead rehab therapist and biomechanist, great at strong sports massage. She usually brings her dog in to work. Imogen - Only physiotherapist, with many years of experience in nerves. Daisy - Sports therapist, great as massage and rehab. Abbey- training massage therapist with a great skill for massage.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Millie for a few years now and a review is overdue. Millie is amazing! Professional yet personable. She makes you feel at ease and can make you laugh. Millie has really helped me out with my back issues. She's friendly and the loveliest person! 100% recommended.

Fantastic experience: Had my first 30-minute sports massage with Abby this morning, and while I’d love to say she was soft and gentle… that definitely wasn’t the case Thankfully, I’m a bit weird and actually enjoy the pain! She’s genuinely worked wonders on my tight glutes and overall tightness, and I already feel the difference. Looking forward to the next session in a few weeks. Highly recommend Abby to anyone struggling with tightness, aches, or pain. Thanks again!

Fantastic experience: I was suffering with medial tibial stress syndrome and after just 2 half hour sessions, Abby has helped me to recover. She’s now working on my back which I’ve had issues with for over 12 years. Highly recommend her for her knowledge and professionalism, she always makes me feel super comfortable too!

Fantastic experience: Imogen has been amazing. Really sorted my back out before my golf holiday after injuring it. Continuing to do some more work on mobility now. Can’t recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: I have seen Abby a couple of times now (pre and post marathon) and wouldn't hesitate to go again. She takes time to listen, asks a lot of questions, puts you at ease and explains what she is doing and why. An experienced professional. I would highly recommend Abby and will definitely be looking to her to help me continue to maintain my fitness and recovery.

Fantastic experience: I had a really positive experience with Abby during my sports massage. Her techniques were effective and she clearly knows what she’s doing, especially for a trainee. She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and gave me really helpful advice to take away afterwards. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and professional massage.

Fantastic experience: Millie is absoloute fantastic literally my go to person for everything!!

Fantastic experience: Milli's amazing. 100% recommend :)

Fantastic experience: Milli, Back to Active's resident sports therapy massage specialist, has completely changed my pain levels and helped me work through extreme bi-lateral hip discomfort post-partum with regular massage therapy. I've been seeing her for over a year at least monthly and we've got to a great place for maintenance that keeps me mostly pain-free between visits - thanks Milli! Thank you Rich has also been really helpful from an Osteopathy perspective.

Fantastic experience: After 18 months of pain and having to walk with a stick, we found back to active where one treatment offered was shockwave therapy for bursitis. The first treatment was painful but subsequent ones were fine, and after 4 treatments I am pain free, gardening and walking the dogs stick free. Delighted with the treatment and the professionalism.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service

Fantastic experience: Milli was fantastic in helping to assess and diagnose my overpronation of my feet and ordering the orthotics. She explained the issues exceptionally well and made it not only incredibly informative but interesting too! Keep up the good work Milli!

Fantastic experience: Richard Reed diagnosed the cause of my painfully stiff back within minutes. Treatment was successful, and I am very grateful. (What makes this particularly notable was the number of other physios and osteos who achieved nothing over the course of two years - other than emptying my wallet.)

Fantastic experience: I 100% recommend shockwave for tennis elbow. After the first session I could feel the immediate benefits. I've been back on court playing almost pain free. Big thanks to both Milli and Richard for helping me.

Fantastic experience: Excellent treatment. Not only did my immediate injury get treated successfully but long term issues were diagnosed and treated. Recommended

Fantastic experience: Having just finished the London Marathon at my goal pace (and enjoying it!) I can hand on heart say that the treatment I had with Milli, was a huge part of that! I had previously deferred my place due to an injury and had seen another physio, but it wasn’t until I started seeing Milli that I turned a corner. Milli is incredibly passionate and enthusiastic about what she does and is always looking to better herself and this rubbed off on me too!

Fantastic experience: Milli was outstanding. She listened and probed my explanation of the injury. She professionally assessed my knee and quickly identified the problem areas. She prioritised the injuries and created a solution schedule for me. The treatment on each session added to the previous and I could see improvement almost immediately. I would highly recommend Milli and Back To Active Osteopathy.

Fantastic experience: Superb professionalism and service. Pro active, experienced - highly recommend. Also open on Saturdays.

Fantastic experience: Highly knowledgeable team who I went to see for Shockwave. I ended up having multiple areas treated in the time (which felt like a bonus!) and it really helped improve my function. I think it is great to have this treatment available so close locally and it has really helped my shoulder pain.

Fantastic experience: Took my wife to Richard she says he really knows his stuff ! She knew from the first treatment that he knew how to do the right treatment ! Had been to others locally but just useless ! So would really recommend going to Richard for treatment thank you

Fantastic experience: After being frustrated with a painful Knee Injury, I limped into Back to Active. Not really sure what to expect as I’d been let down with a previous Physio. Millie’s been great, very knowledgeable, confident & quickly assessed my injury, made a plan, with a mixture of deep tissue massage & an online training program to follow. I’m now pain free & soon to start a walk/run program. Couldn’t recommend Back to Active more.

Fantastic experience: I had been in pain for a number of weeks which was progressively getting worse in my neck and shoulder. After one treatment the difference was huge and I wish I'd gone sooner. The link to the exercises was useful as was the timer. Three sessions and I have not had to go back.

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for a while now to see both Richard & Millie and I think they're both great. Millie has helped me so much with regular sports massage appointments. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I got in contact with Richard late one evening, had a response via email within 12 hours the next morning. Had a consultation booked in within a few days. Put a plan together to have my injury resolved and ship shape as soon as possible. Richard gave me very good advice for my training between sessions. Very knowledgeable and professional service. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to rid themselves of any niggles or injuries.

Fantastic experience: I have been struggling with a slipped disc for months and had multiple appointments with physio and then chiropractor which unfortunately did not relieve my pain. After only 2 sessions with Richard, I started feeling better and I wish I came to see him months ago. I cannot thank him enough for his help and getting me better. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I was recommended to speak to Richard at Back to Active Osteopathy after a soleus injury almost derailed my marathon training. His guidance, support and advice as well as the therapy he applied meant I completed the 26.2 miles and had no long term issues. Subsequently I have returned for other injuries, shoulder/rotator cuff and most recently an achilles issue. All of which he's listened, understood both the injury and my goals and supported me with his care and advice. I've had a lot of PT/Oseo/Chiro over the years and I am pleased I have Richard in my corner to assist when I manage to over reach my body's abilities! Would I recommend him, I do, often! So if you are looking for someone who will help you "back to active" go speak to Richard.

Fantastic experience: I'd never been to an osteopath before, but after a minor incident resulting in excruciating sciatic nerve pain at 28 weeks pregnant I immediately booked an appointment with Richard. Prior to my appointment I could barely walk but after just one appointment the difference was amazing, after my second appointment I am now pain free!

Fantastic experience: I am thrilled to share my experience with Milli, an exceptional sports physiotherapist working alongside Richard at Back to Active. Milli has a remarkable depth of knowledge when it comes to the intricacies of the human anatomy, which has been incredibly reassuring throughout my visits to her. Milli has not only helped me identify the root causes of my recurring injuries but has also shed light on some unexpected sources. Her expertise extends to every facet of the body, leaving no stone unturned in her quest to improve my physical well-being. I am excited about the prospect of continuing to work with Milli, especially when we can undertake a gait analysis. Her guidance and support have already made a significant difference in my understanding of injury prevention and rehabilitation. Milli's passion, knowledge, and commitment make her an invaluable asset for anyone seeking to optimise their sporting performance and/or general well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone who is blighted by injury or in fact anyone who wishes to avoid injury going forwards.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Milie from Back to Active for some time now and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Milie is amazing at what she does and has a fantastic and in depth understanding of the body/how it works and what to do when it really doesn't feel like it's working any more. She has sorted my hugely painful back/neck/shoulder issues out and continues to support me through my ups and downs of chronic pain. Milie and all the team at Back to Active Osteopathy are BRILLIANT, thank you!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant, had a shoulder issue for some time, that became worse and would have taken an age to sort on the NHS. Richard was professional, and thorough, and the transformation in my shoulder is remarkable, feel like I have got a younger version of my shoulder back!

Fantastic experience: I have recently been to Back to Active Osteopathy at their fabulous new clinic in Bordon which was really well equipped and very spacious. I was suffering with a painful neck and ankle; I saw Richard who immediately put me at ease and carried out an initial assessment followed by a treatment. He was very patient with all my questions and took the time to explain everything to me. I felt an improvement immediately after the first session and he also sent me home with exercises to carry out. I have seen Richard for further sessions he is very knowledgeable, and I have a huge improvement in the mobility in my neck and ankle. I cannot recommend Richard highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Honestly, if I could give Back to Active and Richard a 10* review, I would. Richard really knows what he is doing, is extremely knowledgeable and super helpful. Do not hesitate to reach out to Back to Active/Richard if you are struggling with an injury, they will sort you out.

Fantastic experience: Richard did an amazing job on getting my very stiff neck moving again. I would highly recommend Back to Active.

Fantastic experience: I visited Richard after seriously hurting my lower back while moving furniture!!! Having had previous surgical intervention I feared the worst so immediately sought professional advice. Richard was/is superb - he fully diagnosed the issue and reassured me that it wasn't a repeat of previous injuries and with some treatment and some well directed exercises I would make a full recovery. I expected this to be 4-6 weeks but actually played golf a week after!!! I would unreservedly recommend Richard - the offices are perfectly located and the booking system easy. I still cannot believe I was able to recover so quickly! Thank you Richard!

Fantastic experience: I have recently been having treatment from Richard at BacktoActive Osteopathy for an injury and a few physiological imbalances I’ve been struggling with. After my initial consultation Richard provided me with a few adjustments, a little acupuncture on my hamstring and some work on my shoulder to help alleviate and free up the movement again. I am feeling a noticeable difference in the tension through the hamstring, and my range of motion in the shoulder is greatly improved. He has given me further exercise to incorporate into my workout schedule to ensure I’m making the progress I need. Richard has also started using the shockwave therapy machine to improve the tendinopathy issue I have, and I must say I’ve never experienced anything like it, but I am really pleased and I can’t wait for the next session. I feel like this really is the path forward in my injury recovery. I’ve tried many other treatments over the years, and I am so very impressed with Richard. Working in the sports coaching field, I will be referring my clients to Richard. I have high standards on who I refer them to, and Richard has exceeded my expectations on his treatment for me. A five-star service. The only Osteopath and Sports injury recovery practitioner I trust.

Fantastic experience: Spent 2/3 weeks with bad lower back pain after 1 session with Richard and one night doing the stretches and exercises that he showed feeling alot better and not so worried about my back issue Money well spent would advise anyone not to delay a visit.

Fantastic experience: Had restricted movement in my neck and pain in shoulders and upper back. Richard unlocked and freed it up with deep tissue massage and manipulation. The exercises he recommended are helping to keep it all in good working order. My problems had built up over a number of years, but he managed to fix me up in just a few sessions and his fees are very reasonable, no GP referral necessary.

Fantastic experience: I'm not normally the type of person to write reviews, but in this case i feel its needed. Having suffered Sciatica with painful effects, I walked out, after leaving Richard, pain free. Now i'm not saying he is the 2nd coming and i'm cured, but my word, I cant wait to go back. Would totally recommend. I even felt the need to message him to let him know, and that's not normally me.

Fantastic experience: Words cannot express the gratitude I have towards Richard. I have suffered from neck/shoulder pain for nearly 4 years and have seen and received a variety of different practitioners and treatments all with limited success. After only two session with Richard I am FINALLY pain free. Not only did Richard determine the issue straight away I was sent away with a detailed and informative routine to follow to avoid this happening again. Thanks Richard!

Fantastic experience: Very good osteopaths that work there

Fantastic experience: Has been helping me out with some back issues, and he has been excellent. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: A really good caring place to go if you have any physical niggles,

Fantastic experience: I threw my back out and Richard was brilliant, seeing me at a moments notice and quickly determining the reason behind my back injury and why it had happened. He was able to help with the extreme pain and I felt better after my first visit and after several visits, I was soon back to full health, in fact, my back was even better than before and my mobility greatly improved. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Would thoroughly recommend Richard. He really helped my 12 year old daughter to recover from a broken leg by providing her with exercises to strengthen her muscles and help her get back to fitness and swim training as soon as possible.

Fantastic experience: I have had a lower back problem for a couple of years and never had the time to have it looked at properly. I finally made the time and having been to see one osteopath who made no difference at all found Richard's website. After a couple of sessions I woke up one morning and realised that the first thought that came to my head wasn't the discomfort in my back but the fact I couldn't feel any pain. I still have work to do to be completely pain free under strain but Richard gives you plenty of strengthening and conditioning exercises in between sessions to help build that back up. Richard is friendly and pleasant and pays lots of attention to what you have been doing in between sessions and what causes discomfort to adjust your next session effectively. I would highly recommend him. As an extra bonus I have finally persuaded my partner who has a far worse back problem that I have to go and see him.

Fantastic experience: My 14 year old son had reoccurring knee pain from a football injury 6 months ago which would not go away and caused much discomfort when playing sport. After three sessions at Back To Active he is gently easing himself back to football and floorball. Great care was taken to diagnose the problem, explain what had happened and provide strengthening exercises and advise on movement.

Fantastic experience: Had a niggling muscle strain for years, saw one of Richards monthly promotions and was in to see him the next day. Very warm and welcoming environment with no waiting around. After 3 sessions in total, my pain was completely gone. Highly recommended if you are suffering from an old or new sports injuries.

Fantastic experience: I saw Richard at Back to Active for treatment for back pain and general stiffness. I've seen a major improvement in my overall mobility and reduction in pain. He has given me strengthening exercises to do at home between visits. I would recommend Richard if you're looking for an osteopath with an all-round approach to helping muscle and joint issues.

Fantastic experience: During my training for a 1/2 marathon my legs always felt super tight. Richard was able to help me towards the end of my training and fit in around my working hours. Highly recommended to anyone else in need of sports injury treatments or tight muscle pain.

Fantastic experience: Really nice guy and very accommodating service. I went to see Richard for a recurrent tennis elbow problem. After 3 sessions my symptoms had significantly reduced and he gave me some great coping strategies and exercise that will hopefully prevent it returning. 5*

Fantastic experience: My Son had damaged his Shoulder at Swimming - Richard worked out the problem - first visit ! after a some exercises and acupuncture he has fully recovered, great service.

Fantastic experience: I went to see Richard for a bad back that had been troubling me for some time. I was very pleased with the service and am glad to say my back pain has gone.

Fantastic experience: Richard, at Back To Active, helped me with my muscular tightness following a run. He manipulated and then used acupuncture to further break down the scarring. Very impressed and would happily recommend

Fantastic experience: As a horse rider, its very useful to have a sports massage to help me compete at the top of my game. Richard was very helpful and took the time to explain my injury and I would not hesitate to recommend Back To Active. See you at the next appointment :)
