Fantastic experience: I visited Mattia when I could not weight bear on my arthritic knee , the gp wanted to refer for replacement . Having moved to Poole and previously used an osteopath in Surrey I looked for someone with excellent reviews and who also did acupuncture which works well for me. After only 3 sessions with Mattia I can straighten my leg and fully weight bear , I have told my gp to cancel the referral for surgery as I am now pain free . There isn’t any pressure for more treatments but I have chosen maintenance visits . My treatment has been excellent I have also received exercises which continues my recovery and muscle building . I cannot thank Mattia enough for his expertise .
Hi Tracy,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We’re really pleased to hear how well you’re doing and it has been a pleasure working with you and seeing the progress you’ve made.
Keep up the great work with your exercises, and we look forward to continuing to support you.
Mattia & the Balanced Motion Clinic team
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Mattia highly enough. I went in suffering from severe back and leg pain that made it difficult for daily activity. After just a few sessions of hands-on treatment and following the home exercises he provided, my pain has significantly subsided and my mobility is back to normal. He always took the time to explain everything . Mattia didn't just help me with the pain—he gave me back my life. Izzy
Hi Izzy,
Thank you so much for such a lovely review. It’s been a real pleasure working with you, and I’m really pleased to hear how much your pain and mobility have improved.
Thank you as well for putting the work in with your exercises between appointments. It’s been great to see your progress and confidence return.
Mattia & the Balanced Motion Clinic team
Fantastic experience: I was in severe pain with my lower back and sciatica, and Mattia was incredibly helpful in getting me back on track. His treatment was effective, and he also provided clear advice on stretches and exercises that I could do at home to support my recovery. Thanks to his expertise and guidance, my pain has improved significantly. Thank you, Mattia, for your professional care and support. Highly recommended!
Hi Kayleigh,
Really appreciate you taking the time to write this. You did a great job sticking with the exercises and advice outside of the clinic, so it’s lovely to hear that you’re feeling so much better now.
Thanks again for the recommendation, and I’m glad we could help get you moving in the right direction.
Mattia
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Rianne religiously every 6 weeks for a year now. She’s helped me recover from injuries, improve ongoing fatigue and support my training. She’s professional, knowledgeable and genuinely caring - I highly recommend!
Hi Alex,
This is so lovely to read, thank you. It’s been great working with you over the past year and being part of keeping you training, recovering well and feeling your best along the way.
We really appreciate the trust you’ve put in us, and thank you for the recommendation.
Balanced Motion Clinic team
Fantastic experience: From 2022. Staying in Poole for 2 nights before taking the ferry to France. My back hurt me a soon as I arrived in Poole and the next day managed to book a 11.30 appointment with Rianne. I was assessed, worked on and massaged and walked away feeling much better. I drove through France and Spain with no further problems and 3 weeks later I am continuing to improve. One osteopath session probably isn't really enough but Rianne worked wonders and I would rebook if in Poole again and thoroughly recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We’re so glad we could help get you feeling more comfortable before your long drive through France and Spain! Wishing you continued recovery, and if you’re ever back in Poole we’d be very happy to help again. Safe travels
Fantastic experience: Attended at short notice while on holiday and couldn’t have asked for better. Mattia was clearly very knowledgeable and quickly got to the root of my back issue, which was pretty painful at the time. What stood out most was that nothing felt rushed — even though it was a one-off appointment, he took the time to treat it properly and thoroughly. Genuinely grateful for the help and would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We’re really glad Mattia was able to help, especially while you were on holiday and in pain. We always aim to give every patient the time they need, so it’s lovely to hear that came across. Wishing you all the best with your recovery!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend 5 stars.So easy to book, plenty of parking, upstairs in the gym then wait on the black sofas to be greeted and taken into the lovely warm treatment room. I got an appointment the same day as I was in excruciating pain, after my initial appointment with Mattias I felt immediate relief, I had 3 sessions in total with Mattias and am now able to do my normal activities pain free plus no pressure to book more appointmens.I won't hestitate to book again if I need to or just for maintaince on my back. Mattias was very friendly, explaining and showing exercises in detail to help continue at home even suggesting to video him showing the moves which is extremely helpful. If you want a professional to fix your pain then book Mattias you wont regret it. Thank you Mattias
Hi Sammie,

Fantastic experience: Seen Matti about pain in the back of the knee due to weakness in the supporting muscles and with Matti's Brilliant guidance, knowledge and treatment I am know firing on all four cylinders! I would highly recommend Balanced Motion.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Mattia , I went to him with a bad shoulder that was constantly hurting me , after a few sessions I felt so much better, Mattia is friendly & explained everything thing he done , showed me the exercises I needed to do to get back to feeling better, also I had acupuncture so pleased I found a great clinic.

I would definitely recommend Balanced Motion.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Mattia for four weeks so far about a back and foot problem. He has been really helpful and I noticed an improvement in my back after the first couple of visits. Very helpful. Highly recommended.
Negative experience: I have never wasted my money and regretted like this place the treatment was bad i didn't get any benefit from it, also most of the treatment time got wasted in talking I do not recommend this place for treatment maybe for massages
Fantastic experience: Want to say a huge thanks to these guys. Went above and beyond, helped me with treatment and gave some clear guidance. Will be going back!
Thank you, Cameron! We’re really glad to hear you had such a positive experience. It means a lot to know that our treatment and guidance made a difference. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: I went to the clinic inside Unison Fitness and there was lots of parking, which was great. I had 2 appointments to treat my shoulder issue and Mattia was amazing. 1st session involved a full assessment, so I felt reassured if there was something else impacting my shoulder it would've been noticed. Then I had treatment which was stretching and massage and made an immediate difference. Mattia understood that I was not really going to completely stop or rest my shoulder so gave me specific exercises to do to strengthen shoulder during gym movements. He also told me what to look out for when working out. 2nd appointment was just as detailed with massage and manipulation on my shoulder. There was progress seen so no pressure for more appointments just a genuine invite to come back if any further concerns. I definitely recommend Balanced Motion for any body issues and I will be going back in future to keep my body healthy and strong.
Thank you, Helen! We’re so pleased to hear that you had a great experience and felt reassured throughout your treatment. It’s great to know the exercises and advice have been helpful in keeping you strong during training. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you again whenever you need us!
Fantastic experience: I came to Balanced Motion clinic due to an ongoing issue with severe back and neck pain. They listened and made a thorough assessment and treatment plan which is working wonders. I would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I had my first appointment today with Mattia and would highly recommend. I wasn’t exactly sure what I needed but he did a thorough assessment and recommended a mix of osteopathy and massage. He explained everything really well, in simple terms but with enough detail about treatment options and put me at ease immediately.
Fantastic experience: Mattia - having being recommended to a friend I am delighted - the real deal..
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Mattia explains the problem well , I didn’t expect miracles but genuinely felt a lot less pain after one session further more he is a really nice guy 5 stars
Fantastic experience: Mattia is a miracle worker, as well as very kind and professional. I was in a lot of pain before my treatment and got instant relief.
Fantastic experience: Mattia was attentive and understanding. I asked for a hamstring sports massage which helped me a lot. It's a very professional place. Thanks.
Fantastic experience: Mattia worked wonders on my lower back problem and gave me some exercises to do. I was able to enjoy the rest of my holiday in Dorset. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I recently visited Balanced Motion and had an exceptional experience with both Rianne and Mattia. From the very beginning, I felt incredibly supported and comfortable. Rianne was fantastic in providing detailed instructions on how to get to the location and access the building, which was a huge help, especially since I had some trouble accessing the necessary forms beforehand. Both Rianne and Mattia truly made me feel at ease. As someone who is autistic and uncomfortable with being touched and new environments, I was nervous about the visit. However, their approach was incredibly reassuring. They explained everything they were going to do in detail and consistently asked for my consent at every stage. This thoughtful and considerate approach made a world of difference. Rianne provided excellent support for my neck issue, while Mattia worked wonders on my lower back. Their expertise and gentle manner helped me feel much better, and I left feeling more relaxed and confident about my health. I highly recommend Balanced Motion for anyone seeking osteopathic care. Their professionalism, empathy, and commitment to patient comfort are truly outstanding. I will definitely be returning for future treatments.
Fantastic experience: Only had a couple of sessions but it's already feeling better. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I found Mattia to be highly knowledgable and very much gives you calm vibes. Mattia has genuine warmth and friendliness and combines this with utmost professionalism. He located my issues very quickly and helped to address these by using some easy exercises at home. After 2 sessions my knee was back to normal. He is now working on some longer term issues with my back and I can already see a positive improvement. I would highly recommend Mattia and the Balanced Motion Clinic and I am looking forward to my next session
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Fantastic service. Mattia is a gem of a person. I used to have so much back pain because of my work and my colleagues recommended this place. Every session I have been there, I have had so much relief. On top of that Mattia helped me with some really good exercises which helped me to slowly alleviate my back pain.
Fantastic experience: Great service! Helped me through my knee mobility issues, gave me a deep tissue massage and gave me exercises to strengthen my body to avoid future injury. My 30s don't have to feel so stiff anymore!
Fantastic experience: Came to Balance Motion with an extremely painful neck, I could hardly move it and was in constant pain. Within a couple of sessions with Mateo it was better. So much care and time was given by Mateo not just finding out about my neck but also what was happening in my life so a proper diagnosis could be given. I now visit every couple of months to keep my neck loose. I would highly recommend Balance Motion.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Mattia at Balanced Motion Clinic! After my first visit my shoulder and neck pain was alleviated and he equipped me with a set of exercises to complete at home. I am looking forward to our ongoing collaboration, I will never look back after experiencing the benefits of Osteopathy. Highly recommended, very informative and friendly with great results. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I found Balance Motion Clinic as l was walking past, and the best decision l made was to get in contact. I spoke to Mattia, over the phone, he is an osteopath, and could not of done more, he was so supportive and listened to everything that l said, l was so happy with our conversation that l booked an appointment for a few days later. Arriving on a Monday morning at 8am, l was greeted with a smile and welcomed through to his clinic, Mattia asked some questions and did an assessment going off the information given. He then asked if it was ok to look at my posture and if he could touch the area’s causing an issue, Mattia is so respectful in every way. Mattia gave me some exercises to do, and assisted me doing them to make sure l was doing them right, as l would be doing these at home. I felt a huge benefit and will not hesitate going back, so happy and even going once l felt a huge benefit. When l left the clinic, I couldn’t have felt more relaxed and happy and listened to. I recommend this place, you definitely won’t regret it. Thank you so much Mattia
Fantastic experience: I have seen both Rianne and Mattia at the Balance Motion Clinic and they have been amazing. Very professional and lovely people.
Fantastic experience: Review on behalf of Gabrielle: I visited Mattia in September with a very painful back problem. He not only dealt with my balance and muscular pain but also the whole of me, which was very refreshing and really helped me. I would highly recommend Mattia, he is very professional and exceptionally good at his job! Thank you
Fantastic experience: Having suffered with an injury for many years and having tried various other clinics without success, I found the treatment here to be excellent in not only the diagnosis but knowledge in rehabilitation to put me on the right path to recovery, I’ve never felt better ! highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I have had 2 appointments and immediately felt safe and optimistic with the doctor he’s very motivating and encouraging Very professional I highly recommend this practice
Fantastic experience: Being an older sportsman ..I played rugby cricket football and boxing..I’ve experienced many different treatments but I have to say the Balanced motion team are the best I’ve encountered..throughly professional..a full assessment was carried out before commencement of treatment ..lots of advice given ref exercise regime…I have no hesitation in recommending Balanced Motion..10out of 10
Positive experience: Really good treatment whilst on holiday . Very little soreness next day . Back muscles much better after treatment Explained everything beforehand and during treatment . Wish I lived closer so I could use regularly.
Fantastic experience: After searching Google for a osteopath I came across Balance Motion. Read their Google reviews and gave them a call, explained my symptoms and they offered me an appointment that evening. I saw Mattia, he went through everything with me and then started treatment. That night I had the best sleep I had in a while. After 2 further sessions and being given 4 simple but effective exercises to do at home I now feel so much better. Would definitely recommend Mattia
Fantastic experience: Brilliant service very informative couldnt recommend highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Not your average osteopath, far far better! I have already recommended to others who have been equally impressed. Can’t wait for my next injury!
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Mattia - he has been helping me with a rotator cuff injury and he has been really professional and personable. Each session he has been sensible - He has pushed me when it was needed but also been supportive when I had setbacks. Setting is quiet and private. We always have a nice chat during treatment too and you can tell he is a genuinely nice person which makes you feel very relaxed.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend - very quick to respond, very professional and caring. In just a few treatment sessions, Mattia has helped me by diagnosing and treating the pain that I have been grappling with for a few years. The treatment and recommended exercises have already had a really positive impact on my daily life. I did lots of research before booking an osteopath and I’m really pleased that I chose Balanced Motion.
Fantastic experience: Just a few sessions has really helped my lower back pain and mobility
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended, quality and very professional. After explaining my situation to Mattia, he advised me on the treatments and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results.
Fantastic experience: Mattia is the best osteopath I’ve ever had. From a problem that haunted me every day, to totally forgetting about it. Always helpful and kind and flexible hours! He worth every £!
Fantastic experience: Very professional and thorough treatment. Saw me at short notice and had many insights into my condition and gave good advice as well as a comprehensive treatment : )
Fantastic experience: Ottimo trattamento, specialmente in caso d’infortunio o di dolori alla schiena. Ambiente molto gradevole e gentili con i clienti. Molto professionali e li raccomando vivamente.
Fantastic experience: Great sports massage. Very helpful with injury’s and rehabilitation. 5 stars from me.
Fantastic experience: I injured my neck quite badly and thought it was just a normal accident due to the contact nature of the sport I was doing, I soon realised it was not. I went to see Mattia who very promptly assessed the issue in my upper back/neck and sorted it out within a few sessions, allowing me to move freely and painlessly once again. Extremely professional and very confident in what he was doing, he explained everything in depth which allowed me to relax and let him do the treatments, despite my initial feeling of fear due to the pain. He has given me exercises to strengthen my neck and rehabilitate the whole area. This led me to a fast full recovery after just a few treatments, alongside the daily exercise he assigned to me. Extremely pleased and happy, absolutely recommended !!
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and excellent care, they are incredibly professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They really care about their patients here. I'm glad I found this place.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely recommended! Rianne helped me work through a debilitating shoulder injury. She carefully and thoughtfully diagnosed my injury, took the time to work through a recovery plan that allowed me to stay active while rehabilitating my shoulder, and provided regular consultations even once I recovered to make sure I never re-injure it. Professional, kind, and dedicated to the client's well being - what more could you want?!
Fantastic experience: The service i received from Rianne was exceptional, i was treated for a neck problem that I picked up playing football, Rianne was able to assess the issue and complete multiple corrections to rectify the issue, the next day my neck pain was COMPLETELY gone, it may sound cheesy but it’s like she was a miracle worker! I cannot recommend this establishment enough, clean professional friendly and most importantly effective service, thank you Rianne
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! I had an issue at my knee that I could barely walk caused by too much physical activity (I used to run every day). I called the clinic and Mattia managed to fix it in a few treatments. On top of the on-site treatments, he gave me some at-home exercise and in a few weeks I managed to train again like I used to do before. He's extremely professional and very well prepared. I highly recommend it!
