Optimal Align Chiropractic: Reviews
Fantastic experience: You receive a very careful and thorough assessment of your problems, including x-rays followed by discussion with Dr. Bruce Hilligan as to the best treatment. The staff are all welcoming, helpful and professional. I feel I am in good hands.
Thank you, Anna, for your wonderful 5-star review. We’re so pleased you felt well cared for and appreciated the thorough assessment process, including digital posture screening, X-rays, and a detailed consultation with Dr Bruce Hilligan to find the most effective treatment plan for you.

As Berkshire’s only Chiropractic BioPhysics® practice, we use specialist posture-corrective equipment, tailored exercises, and advanced treatment techniques to help our patients achieve lasting results.
It means a great deal to know you feel you are in good hands. We look forward to supporting you on your journey to better health and posture.
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend the team at Optimal Align highly enough. After struggling with worsening shoulder pain for four years, I had honestly started to accept it as something I’d just have to live with. The pain was constant, and the numbness made everyday life difficult. Since starting treatment here, the improvement has been incredible, my pain has reduced massively, the numbness has eased, and I can genuinely feel the difference in my posture. What really stands out is the level of care from everyone on the team Bruce, Ria, Carla, Sacha, and Shaun. They are not only highly skilled, but also genuinely invested in your wellbeing. Bruce in particular went above and beyond when I was in hospital for a separate issue, offering thoughtful advice and guidance around things like diet and vitamins. It really showed how much he cares about his patients as whole people, not just the condition they come in with. The atmosphere at Optimal Align is another huge plus. It’s not your typical quiet, clinical environment where you feel uncomfortable or rushed. Everyone is so welcoming, friendly, and easy to talk to. You never feel like just another appointment, they take the time to listen, answer questions, and make you feel at ease. I often find myself recommending Optimal Align to anyone who will listen because the difference they’ve made to my life is huge. I used to be in pain 24/7, and now, while I might occasionally have a small niggle, it’s nothing compared to what I was dealing with before. I’m incredibly grateful to the whole team. Can’t thank you guys enough!
Thank you so much, Laura, for your amazing 5-star review and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly delighted to hear how much progress you’ve made with your shoulder pain, numbness, and posture after struggling for so many years. Helping patients regain comfort, movement, and confidence in their everyday lives is exactly why we do what we do.
At Optimal Align Chiropractic, we take pride in providing thorough, personalised care for conditions such as shoulder pain, neck pain, back pain, sciatica, headaches, posture problems, and a wide range of neuromusculoskeletal issues. As Berkshire’s only Chiropractic BioPhysics® practice, we use advanced diagnostics including digital posture screening, X-rays, movement assessments, and specialist posture-corrective equipment to create tailored treatment plans designed for lasting results.
Your kind words about Bruce, Ria, Carla, Sacha, and Shaun mean a great deal to us. We believe great healthcare is about treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, and creating a warm, supportive environment where every patient feels listened to and valued.
Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. We’re honoured to have been part of your recovery journey and look forward to continuing to support your health and wellbeing.
Fantastic experience: Came for excruciating hip pain. Not only is this completely resolved but other issues have been addressed. Friendly and professional team who I have trusted for myself and for my own patients. Recommend without reservation.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are thrilled your hip pain has been resolved and that we could address other concerns for you. The team truly appreciates the trust you place in us for yourself and your patients. Your recommendation means a great deal, and we are here for you whenever you need us.
The Optimal Align Chiropractic Team
Negative experience: Waste of time and money for me personally....10 sessions to try sort out my neck....after a few weeks back as before...
Hi Joan, every patient’s condition and healing timeline is unique—some find relief quickly, while others require a longer care plan to achieve lasting improvement.
Our recommendations are always based on the individual’s spinal health, exam findings, and how their body responds to treatment. We never want care to feel like a waste of time or money, and our goal is always long-term, sustainable results rather than quick but temporary fixes.
If you’d like, we’d be happy to review your case and discuss alternative approaches or ways to adjust your plan to better fit your goals. Thank you for allowing us to care for you
Fantastic experience: Been coming to Dr Bruce for about 4 years now and I like the fact that everything is under one roof. Exercises, drills, traction, x rays as well as the treatment itself.
Hi Ian, thanks for the review, great to hear you're happy :)
Fantastic experience: I am having a course of treatment to correct misalignment with its associated problems, and to improve my posture. Dr. Christian Santos is a fine chiropractor, I am sometimes a little sore for 24 hrs or so after treatment, but the benefits are really noticeable, my previously painful back problem is now mostly unnoticeable, my neck still needs some work. The bio mechanics approach is very effective, so the combination of manipulation, physio excercises and traction is working for me. The clinic is clean and well equipped and all the staff are very friendly, welcoming and efficient.
Hi Ruth, thank you for the lovely and honest review. Great to hear you've made some great improvements so far with Christian
Fantastic experience: Dr Bruce at Optimal Align resolved my alignment issues where others had missed them. I'm so glad to have made the choice to visit this chiropractic practice over others. Thanks so much!
Thank you for your review Emma. Great to hear of your results and thank you for sharing.
Fantastic experience: Bruce and his entire team are amazing and I can’t thank them enough for their friendly encouragement and support. I feel like I’ve got my life back. Thank you.
Thank you Marilyn, very happy to have the opportunity to help you :)
Fantastic experience: Optimal Align have treated me exceptionally well, solving my problems and putting in place a plan to maintain my progress.
Thank you for your lovely review Robert. Great to hear the problems are resolved!
Fantastic experience: Lovely team, effective therapy, 5*
Thank you for sharing Nicolas
Fantastic experience: Excellent Chiropractors and I have been to a few. Optimal Align Chiropractic are extremely knowledgeable and nothing is to much trouble
Thank you for sharing P :)
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bruce is an amazingly skilled chiropractor. His knowledge of Biophysics goes beyond short-term symptom relief to focus on achieving long-term structural changes in the spine. I can attest to this! After two years of treatments my core strength increased. I can now do 3 minute planks without issue! I could probably go longer but what for? My 6 pack is nicely defined for a 62 year old! My balance has also been restored. Standing on one leg in the shower every morning to my foot is not a problem! The tension in my back muscles has released. My shoulder pain (from sleeping on my side ) no longer exits. The benefits to my overall health are hands down incomparable to any other chiropractic treatment I have ever had - and I've been seeing various chiropractors since 2013 due to moving so many times! and yes, I have moved since my treatments with Bruce. but hey, it's been two years since I've seen him and I'm still healed. I have not found another biophysics chiropractor yet. So I am having todo standard treatments every six weeks. but I will be moving back to Canada in a few months and wouldn't you know it? There's a Biophysics chiropractor 20 minutes from my new home! yay me. thanks Bruce. -oh and did i mention he's a terrific, caring man : )
Dear Alan, thank you so much for you lovely review. It's great to hear all the fantastic work has helped you in many ways
Fantastic experience: Excellent Chiropractor and team, who have assessed and given positive help with my posture.
Thank you for the review :)
Fantastic experience: Professional team and value for time & money
Thank you for sharing Rafiq
Fantastic experience: I always come away with a spring in my step, the friendly staff help contribute to this very positive experience.
Thank you for sharing this lovely review
Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Dr Bruce and his team of wonderful staff highly enough. Not only have my back issues been resolved where countless other health professionals failed, but the practice is so friendly and enjoyable to attend. It was evident from their knowledge and programs that they know what they're doing. Everything is assessed against X-rays and posture tracking photo updates, so you know the exact issue is being worked on, not guess work, and then you can see the progress in the update photos. I travel 45 minutes to see the team each visit. Completely worth it. These guys are brilliant at what they do.
Thank you for sharing Harry :)
Fantastic experience: Cristian and his extremely friendly team are very professional and helpful. I went with shoulder and neck pain and had a 10 session course which includes giving you specific targetted exercises to do at home as well as doing at the clinic which really helps.
Thank you for sharing this lovely and honest review
Fantastic experience: I was very lucky to be recommended this chiropractor and having this as my first chiropractor experience. The staff are very friendly and easy to chat to. I feel I’m in good hands and that I am kept in the loop at each stage of my progress. With the help of these guys, I’ve hopefully prevented having back problems that run in my family.
Hi Chloe, great to hear this positive review, thanks so much
Fantastic experience: I started visiting Optimal Align after a spinal health check at the village fair. I have felt like my posture was very slouched for many years so was a little sceptical about whether I would see results. Dr Bruce is very knowledgable and explains the process very clearly. His whole team are fab & are happy to help/provide guidance when completing the exercises and traction. I am now standing much straighter - thank you Optimal Align team!
Thank you for your lovely review Nicola
Fantastic experience: Having had a bad back for some time I have found somewhere that has finally found the cause and then tailored my treatment specifically for me. I feel at last I am on my way to recovery and am confident of the help I am getting.
Thank you for the lovely review Chris. Great to hear of your confidence in us :)
Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend this place enough, I have mentioned it to so many people already! I have gone to massage therapists, chiropractors, and osteopaths many times to try and get help for my back pain and Optimal Align Chiropractors is the first place that have been able to pin-point what is actually causing the pain and provide treatment as well as exercises to prevent reoccurrence. Not only are they very knowledgeable and helpful, but the entire team is so great and it’s always fun to come here
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that our team at Optimal Align Chiropractors has been able to help with your back pain and provide effective treatment. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we appreciate you spreading the word. We look forward to seeing you again and continuing to support your health journey!
Fantastic experience: Optimal Align Chiropractic is the place to go, State of the art equipment,Lovely staff, very professional, Nice serene environment. It is really worth the try.
Thank you for the lovely review :)
Fantastic experience: Very professional, friendly and helpful approach to clients, extremely knowledgeable and good at explaining to you in detail what the issues are. Nothing bad to say, highly recommended
Thank you Guy, lovely to hear
Fantastic experience: Have had lower back problems for many years. Signed up with Optimal Align Chiropractic for a programme of 20 sessions at the beginning of May 2025. So far, the first 6 sessions are proving to be most beneficial. Dr Bruce and his team are a dedicated bunch of professionals providing tailored treatment to my particular condition. Looking forward to continue with my sessions with expectation of saying goodbye to my back pain for good.
Thank you Fyaz, great to hear you're doing so well so far :)
Fantastic experience: My posture has greatly improved since seeing Dr Bruce. I am impressed with the professionalism and care the team show to all patients. The adjustment and traction equipment make a big difference and I always feel better after the treatment.
Thank you for the lovely review Tina :)
Fantastic experience: The team at optimal are extremely welcoming and make you feel very comfortable, I'm now going for regular maintenance after finishing my initial treatments which showed amazing results! I'm pretty much migraine free after years of at least 2 a month. My movements have increased where I had issues. All exercises have been tailored to every individual and regularly adjusted to adapt any changes or issues you may have. I totally recommend anyone with any issues to give them a try.
Thank you Pauline, so happy to have been able to help you. Thanks for a great review
Fantastic experience: Really good team helpful friendly and know what they are doing
Thank you Amelia :)
Fantastic experience: I visited the team at Optimal Align regularly whilst working locally. This is hands down the best chiropractic practice I have been to, the team are friendly and knowledgeable and the treatment is unrivalled locally. I have now work slightly further away and have never managed to find a chiropractor I love as much as this one.
Thank you Charlie, we miss you! Please get in touch for a recommendation
Fantastic experience: So far my experience with Optimal Align has been great. I was introduced through the screening session they put on offer. Dr Bruce seems very knowledgable and appears to offer a practice which differs from other chiropractics I have seen to date so i'm hopeful to try something new to help. The team are also very lovely people.
Thank you for the lovely review Simi, we are confident we can help :)
Fantastic experience: Over the past 20yrs, I have been to chiropractic, physiotherapy and osteopathy, all of which have slightly different methods. 4yrs ago, I returned to chiropractic care and can highly recommend Optimal Align Chiropractic in Green Park. Dr Bruce Hilligan uses biomechanics with traction beds and exercises to achieve real results. I am very happy with the service and the staff.
Thank you for sharing Jacqui :)
Fantastic experience: I've had an amazing experience with Optimal Align Chiropractic! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and friendly team who made me feel completely at ease. Dr. Christian Santos is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything clearly, which really helped me understand the root of my pain. Highly recommended for anyone dealing with chronic pain or looking to improve their posture and overall wellbeing.
Thank you for the lovely review Mohammad :)
Fantastic experience: Very helpful , friendly service from the moment I walked in
Thank you Shaun :)
Fantastic experience: I have been with Optimal for more than a year and they are very thorough when they access the issues you have and then make sure your plan is adjusted as your posture changes. I had constant back, neck and shoulder pain and when they did the X-rays I found out I had other issues which they explain really well and help with a plan. They are very supportive and very professional. I feel sooo much better since I had my treatments. Also maintenance is really great. I can highly recommend them!
Thank you Anette, great to hear :)
Fantastic experience: OUTSTANDING!!!! A friendly, relaxed environment, with a team who are so professional, yet will keep you at ease. As far as I'm concerned, the BIG MAN, Dr. BRUCE, is a magician, knows his stuff, I can assure you. After my initial 10 sessions, and a review, I was told I'd only need to be seen once a month thereafter, proving that my health was more important to these guys, than the contents of my wallet! CONNOT RECOMMEND OPTIMAL ALIGN HIGHLY ENOUGH. SUPERB
Thank you Geoff, love this review and thank you for sharing the results :)
Fantastic experience: I have been coming for over 2 years now The Team at Optimal align have been super friendly, open and always informative with any questions I have. The xrays have been super helpful to me being able to visualise the progress my spine is making and wow what a difference it is making! Easy access to the venue with great parking facilities which is always a bonus. I look forward to my check up sessions and a good adjustments always makes the day better. Thanks all
Thank you for this well rounded review! :) Happy to see you and help you
Fantastic experience: I am very impressed with the whole team at Optimal Align. Dr Bruce is constantly re-evaluating and making adjustments for the best treatment and results. The staff are knowledgeable, welcoming and friendly, and the communication is excellent. I would thoroughly recommend Optimal Align to anyone in need of a chiropractor.
Thank you for sharing Wendy, great to hear ;)
Fantastic experience: The team at Optimal Align are fantastic, always welcome you with a smile, and do their best to keep you comfortable whilst making sure you progress
Thank you for the lovely review :)
Fantastic experience: What strikes you straight away as you enter the clinic is the individualised care. I’ve been very impressed with all aspects of the clinical from the friendly hello when you arrive, to the detail of initial assessment, to the exercises to support the adjustments. A great team!
Thank you so much Tessa :)
Fantastic experience: I’ve only had two sessions so far with Dr Bruce and his team, but I’m already feeling positive about the impact on my back pain. What stood out to me right from the start was how detailed and scientific the initial assessment was - far more thorough than what I’ve experienced with other chiropractors in the past. The approach felt genuinely tailored to my specific needs, with clear explanations and a focus on long-term improvement, not just short-term relief. Looking forward to continuing the treatment and seeing further progress.
Great to hear Gaurav, really happy to be able to help you :)
Fantastic experience: After spending years having constant headaches and neck and back pain, I took to the step to have a consultation with Optimal Align and I am so thankful that I did. I've been with the practice over a year now and my posture has significantly improved, the headaches gone and the pain lessened significantly. Dr Bruce is so knowledgeable, clear with his explanations and the holistic approach of adjustments, traction and exercises truly works. The whole team are welcoming, friendly and make the appointments enjoyable. I'm so grateful to them all!
Thank you Naomi, really glad we could help and thank you for the kind words
Fantastic experience: “Optimal Align Chiropractic is exceptional. They were the only chiropractors to accurately diagnose my condition, providing a clear explanation and a permanent solution to realign my hips and spine. After 17 years of chronic pain and debilitating episodes, I now walk straighter and am pain-free. Unlike NHS specialists and multiple private physiotherapists who couldn’t identify the issue, Dr. Bruce Hilligan’s expertise made all the difference. Highly recommended! Thank you, Bruce and the team, for transforming my life! Highly recommended!”
Thank you so much for your review Richard. We are so so happy to hear we have transformed your life :)
Fantastic experience: I love going to Optimal Align, everyone is so knowledgable and highly professional. Your individual needs are cared for with specific precision. There is a lovely welcoming atmosphere with good humour. I am always put back on track and their knowledge is shared to enable you to understand and make informed decisions.
Thank you for your lovely review Katherine
Fantastic experience: I first visited Optimal Align over 18 months ago—full of pain, reliant on painkillers, and completely out of alignment. The transformation since then has been incredible! I now only attend monthly for maintenance and genuinely look forward to each visit and seeing the friendly team. I'm completely off pain relief and have been given some excellent techniques to use at home whenever any discomfort arises. I would highly recommend Optimal Align to anyone seeking lasting, effective care.
Hi Lacy, thank you so much for sharing. Great to hear you're off pain killers! That's a massive achievement, well done
Fantastic experience: Very professional treatment. I've seen many clinics but they offering great complex treatment.They helped me relieve unbearable pain, to understand why I had spine pain and live more healthy to avoid future problems. Highly recommended with 5 star treatment.
Thank you so much for sharing Pawel, we really appreciate it :)
Fantastic experience: Bruce and the team have been fantastic in the treatment of my Scoliosis and I’ve seen a remarkable reduction in the severity and frequency of my migraines. From an initial health check Bruce was reassuring and informative in explaining the current issues with my posture and outlining the process on how it can be improved, understanding my goals and keeping me informed on the improvement throughout the process.
Thank you so much for sharing Lewis, happy to help
Fantastic experience: Relieving pain is great, fixing the cause of the pain is brilliant. Follow their advice and they will deliver. I can not recommend these guys more!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review Steve
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Optimal Align for the past 3 years and am grateful for their advice, time and help with neck/back issues. They have helped immensely. The team are always really polite and super helpful. Thank you ☺️
Thank you so much for your lovely review Priya
Fantastic experience: Their treatments allowed me to move from needing painkillers to sleep every night to not needing painkillers at in in the last month. Miracle workers!!
Thank you so much Graham, happy to help
Fantastic experience: A good investment in health. This practice is evidence based and should be on NHS.
Thank you Jane, we agree haha :)
Fantastic experience: Bruce is excellent in helping me with my knee problems, I’ve been visiting him for over 4 years. He is super friendly and knowledgeable. I have no hesitation in recommending him and the clinic
Thank you Bujha, please we have helped you with your knee problems, and all recommendations welcome :)
Fantastic experience: I can’t speak highly enough of the care I’ve received at Optimal Align. From the moment I walked in, the staff were welcoming and friendly, making the whole experience feel supportive and professional. Bruce, in particular, brings a wealth of expertise, and it’s clear he truly cares about his patients’ well-being. As a parent of two disabled children, it’s rare that I get time to focus on myself — but coming here has been an important step in doing just that. I noticed an improvement after just my first visit, and my posture has visibly improved in a way I didn’t think was possible. One of the most valuable parts of the experience was the initial X-ray, which gave us a clear baseline to work from. It even revealed that one of my legs is shorter than the other — something I had no idea about before. What I love most is the three-pronged approach: alignment, exercise, and traction. It feels like a holistic treatment plan that truly works, and every session leaves me feeling better — both physically and mentally. Highly recommended!
Thank you for the lovely review Hannah, it's great to hear we have helped you in many ways
Fantastic experience: I’ve been receiving treatment at Optimal Align for over a year, and the results have been truly life-changing. My posture has improved significantly, and the chronic back pain I used to experience is now almost completely gone. One of the most remarkable changes is how naturally my body remembers to maintain proper alignment—something I struggled with for years. I'm incredibly grateful for the consistent, high-quality treatment I received.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, great to hear you have had excellent results :)
Fantastic experience: Since I started going to Optimal Align about my arthritic neck, Dr Bruce and the team have worked wonders on both my neck and my posture. I feel so much more comfortable.
Thanks for sharing you're results.. Great to hear we've really helped you
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience at Optimal Align Chiropractics in Reading. From start to finish, everything was extremely professional and clearly explained. My first report was absolutely free, which was a great bonus. The chiropractor made sure I understood every step of the process recommended to go through, nothing was rushed or overlooked. The whole visit felt very reassuring and thorough. I highly recommend Optimal Align to anyone looking for top-quality chiropractic care!
Thank you for sharing - we really appreciate your lovely review
Fantastic experience: I went to Optimal Align as I was suffering with lower back pain but also I was running London Marathon. With the expertise of Dr Christian he managed to get my body in a much better alignment and made it possible to get to my goal of London Marathon. They are all very friendly and really helpful. Would recommend them to anybody. There goal is to give you a better life.
Thank you for your lovely review and congratulations on the marathon :)
Fantastic experience: I have tried various chiropractors in the past due to my career induced back issue, none have ever helped before. Optimal Align have a great model, starting with x-rays and photos, as well as taking independent weight measurements. This is the first time I have received this level of treatment and care. I have a few sessions left of my treatment plan and my back is feeling the best it has felt since my early 30's! Many thanks for the care and support! Jo
Hi Jo, thank you so much for sharing. It's your great to hear your back is feeling so much better, that's what we are here for :)
Fantastic experience: I was recommended for this company by a friend as due to an injury I can’t recommend them enough with a help and support even after one session I feel so much better
Thank you for your lovely review Allan :) great to hear you're getting better so quickly
Fantastic experience: All of the staff at Optimal Align have been truly exrmplorary in their care for me. Initially I suffered from constant back and neck pain. As I got older I though that this is just the way it is when you get older. By chance I saw the team when they were in Wokingham and thought I'd give it a go. I'd used physiotherapist for years but the problem still persisted. What the team did was take an XRay of my spine and compare it to how it should be. We discussed my lifestyle,physical history and they came up with a plan that really works gor me. But then the real work started with manipulation (which is great)and traction plus some exercises. I'd suffered years of spinal trauma.Bit by small bit,over the years it was getting worse. The Team led by Dr Bruce,really stepped up and I'm sleeping better,feel better and feel so much fitter than I have done for years. I can't really praise the team enough.
Thank you for your lovely review Chris, it's really great to hear about your great results and sharing for others
Fantastic experience: Optimal Align elevates chiropractic care to an elite level, delivering exceptional results through their bespoke approach. Their team is not only highly professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly engaging, making every visit a positive experience. I wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone seeking top-tier chiropractic intervention.
Thank you for sharing Ian :)
Fantastic experience: Optimal Align Chiropractic offers a really wholistic treatment package beyond just the usual chiropractic adjustments. By combining traction and exercises to do at home, deep change can be achieved. Everyone in the team is warm and friendly making the overall experience really good.
Thanks for your lovely review Sara :)
Fantastic experience: I love the open plan set-up with soothing music. Bruce is always friendly & happy and his staff are well organised. My back has consistently felt better for a long time now. I highly recommend Optimal Align.
Great to hear Nicola and thank you for sharing
Fantastic experience: Dr Bruce and his team are fantastic. My treatment over the last few months has made such a significant improvement to my overall alignment and the associated back pain and headaches I was getting each day. The EAT (exercise, adjustment and traction) method has clearly worked. Many thanks to the whole Optimal Align team!
Thank you for sharing Lee. It's great to hear that we've really helped you :)
Fantastic experience: I had my initial consultation with Dr Bruce Hilligan and was genuinely impressed. He took the time to listen carefully to my challenges and health history, then walked me through a clear, science-based roadmap - short, medium, and long-term of how chiropractic care can help. Unlike other consultations I’ve had in Reading, Dr Bruce’s explanations made complete sense and gave me real confidence in the treatment plan we’re about to start. I’m looking forward to beginning the sessions knowing I have a practitioner who communicates so well and tailors care to the individual.
Hi Gaurav, thank you so much for this lovely review and feedback. It's really great to hear and share with others
Fantastic experience: I can't thank Bruce and the team enough, years of being fobbed off by the NHS I started to think all my issues was all in my head. Started in February and the difference in my life mentally and physically is un real!! Thank you so much! Absolutely fantastic and the team is so friendly and welcoming! Keep it up guys! X
Thanks for sharing Raveena, and so happy to hear we are helping you on all levels
Fantastic experience: Amazing practice, Bruce is knowledgeable and professional. All the staff are brilliant and accommodating. Feel much better since having sessions.
Thank you Miguel, we really appreciate you sharing :) glad you feel much better
Fantastic experience: Game-changing, personalised solutions for any muscle, bone and postural issues. Unlike most conventional physio, the Opitmal Align team not only seek to treat symptoms (ie muscle tightness or pain in a given area) but address the underlying musculoskeletal imbalances throughout the body that may be contributing to such issues. Excellent team and treatment environment.
Thank you for your review Alex :) we appreciate it
Fantastic experience: Very pleased with my progress to date. Staff friendly and helpful with great knowledge.
Thank you for your review Pam :) we appreciate it
Fantastic experience: I’ve had an excellent experience with Optimal align. From the first session I noticed a drastic improvement to my levels of back pain. Bruce explained everything thoroughly and the whole team were great. The place has a nice atmosphere and it’s always a pleasure to attend appointments. I would highly recommend to anyone with chronic pain.
Thank you for your review and sharing :)
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient of Dr Bruce and Optimal Align Chiropractic for about six months now. I’ve also been a patient of Chiropractic Bio Physics at a different clinic in San Francisco, US. I’ve been very impressed by the consistently high level of treatment that I get at Optimal Align.
Thank you for sharing :)
Fantastic experience: I am beyond grateful to Optimal Align Chiropractic, and I haven’t even completed my treatment plan yet! The difference already is remarkable. I had been suffering from intense joint pain and was advised to consider surgery. Before going down that path, I decided to explore other options and reached out to Optimal Align Chiropractic - and it’s one of the best decisions I have made. My pain has significantly decreased, and I can finally sleep again! The team are incredibly kind, supportive, and always makes it easy to schedule appointments around my work. Thank you!
Thank you Anna, great results and outcomes for you :)
Fantastic experience: Excellent understanding of issues, personal care and facilities including x-ray
Thank you for your review :)
Fantastic experience: I am a dressage trainer and all of my life I have said ‘my right leg feels longer than my left’ but externally I looked and rode symmetrical. I have had x rays and mri’s (on nhs) for other reasons, not once has anyone picked up that my left hip is lower than my right hip and my left leg is, as I thought, shorter than my right leg and therefore my right side has been compensating for years. And relatively simply sorted through the clever mind and hands of Dr Bruce, the exercises with the team at the base, the traction, the theraplate and the equipment that they have loaned me to take home to use. Very grateful to them. Getting older is not easy but my pain would only have got worse and worse and any treatment from NHS would have been treating symptoms not cause. Thankyou to the whole team.
You're very welcome Tracey, and thank you so much for sharing :)
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Dr Jess, Matt and the team for over a year now and in this time they’ve done wonders to correct my neck and spinal alignment. The team are super friendly and so knowledgeable! I would highly recommended treatment here to help make corrections than can literally change your whole life. Thanks :)
Thank you for your review, great to hear of your results and thanks for sharing for others :)
Fantastic experience: These lovely people have helped me so much. The practice is clean, practical and spacious. Jess and the team have helped with my back and have made me walk properly, my back pain has reduced to almost nothing. I cannot recommend them enough. Try it if your in pain, these people can help.
Thank you Wendy, Great to hear you've had good results and can walk properly now :)
Fantastic experience: I have spent more than 15 years of my life in pain. I had reserved myself to thinking it was the new normal for me but despite this I occasionally sought treatment spending thousands on physio or oestpaths just to be told there was nothing that could be done. Eventually when I hurt myself picking my daughter up I figured enough was enough and decided to try a chiropractor. I had heard a lot of negative things about chiropractors but you know I had already spent a small fortune and nothing had worked so why not give it a whirl. All I can say is I wished I had found Optimal Align sooner! The staff are amazing and so friendly, knowing exactly what they are doing and always up for a laugh. Bruce was confident he could fix me and since starting treatment I have been pain free for the first time in years! Thank you so much!! I cannot recommend you guys enough.
Hi Adam. Thank you for your review - we are so happy to hear you are pain free and doing so well :)
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bruce is an excellent professional, kind, wise and understanding. The treatment has improved my quality of life, with a special mention to his lovely team
Thanks Pedro. Happy to help, and that's so great to hear that your quality of life has improved, that's made our day

Thank you Paul :)

Thanks for sharing Barry :) Glad we could help you
Fantastic experience: I went looking for a chiropractor, not because I was injured or in pain, but because I know that without some kind of body maintenance I will end up needing it when I am - and I wanted to avoid that. So I am very grateful to Jess, Matt and the team at Optimal Align for looking after me when managing my progress was more tricky because I felt well before I stated. It wasn't after the initial 5 weeks of treatment when I saw my revised x-rays that I could see the changes that were happening and was delighted at how significant they were. It was then on refection that I realised I no longer got pins and needles in my arm at night. My slightly sticky shoulder was way more flexible and less crunchy. I love the unique, personalised approach to everyone's treatment and how they run an extremely efficient operation even at busy times. If you're looking for a long term relationship to keep you functioning I highly recommend them. If you want a quick click and be gone they're probably not for you :-)
Thank you for the wonderful review and sharing your great results with :)
Fantastic experience: I had not believed whip lash was a real thing, until I was in a car accident in March, it was suddenly very obvious not just the pain but the restriction in my ability to even move my head .. within one month I was substantially better! Now I maintain and reset my alignment, flexibility, movement freedom every other week which I will reduce to once a month on time. Dr Bruce and his team have literally changed people’s lives! They make your journey relaxed and you soon realise .. we all need this! I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t benefit from a personal treatment programme with Optimal Align Reading.
Thank you for your review Helen and for sharing your fantastic results :)
Fantastic experience: Bruce is so knowledgeable at diagnosis, clear at explaining what needed and felt great after all adjustments. The team are friendly, welcoming and always well prepared. I've recommended to many and I'm glad I came
Thank you for your review Dipesh and sharing your positive experience with us. We appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Optimal Align is like no other Chiropractors. The unique approach combining chiropractor, traction and exercise take the treatment to the next level. One of the best thing about the clinic is, you are assessed thoroughly before a treatment plan is put together specific to each patients problems. For me the posture photos, x-rays and other forms of assessments helped identify the root cause of my lower back pain, which separates this clinic from others. My only regret is not going to Optimal Align sooner as I have been going to standard chiropractors for years only to have pain return and left frustrated. Dr. Jess, Matt and the team are absolutely amazing at what they do. Very knowledgeable, always friendly and supportive. I feel in the best hands when I am at the clinic and over half way through the treatment, I can feel a huge improvement. 100% recommended. Thank you so much for all you do, you are the best! :)
Thank you for sharing your experience Fatma. It's great to have positive feedback :)
Fantastic experience: Due to a sports injury, I developed an acute problem losing normal range of movement in my left arm, along with bouts of excruciating pain, as a result of cervical nerve impingement. I am a registered nurse and a keen supporter of the NHS, but I also know there are many things we can do to help ourselves to recover. I am absolutely delighted to have found Optimal Align! I can offer this to you, once you have experienced the exceptional care and support from this team, once you witness the difference this treatment can make to the quality of your life, you will want to stay and become part of Optimal Aligns, maintenance programme. I certainly will be! In the space of 12 weeks, I have gone from not being able to raise a fork to my mouth to eat, to beginning to raise my arm above my head. I am in no pain, and I am now back to attending the gym most days, on a rehabilitation programme. I have been a keen exerciser all my life, so this has been a life changing experience for me. I have learned I have cervical degeneration, and would never have known until it was probably too late, by which time, I may have developed even more serious and complex health problems. I am in the most excellent of hands with Dr Jess. She is an exceptional Dr of Chiropractic Biophysics; she is caring, highly intuitive with her treatment and incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to all things health and well being. Her work is amazing! In addition, the care, knowledge and support I have received from Matt, Abi and Shaun has been invaluable, and I am hugely appreciative and grateful to them, they do a fantastic job! Each time I visit, I am so pleased to see how busy it is at Optimal Align! The reason is two-fold, the care given is exceptional, thereby improving quality of life and overall health significantly, whilst simultaneously reducing some of the burden on the NHS. Thank you so much Optimal Align!
Hi Annette, thank you for your detailed and excellent review. We really appreciate it and are really pleased with your results :)
Fantastic experience: I visited Optimal Align Reading after seeing an offer on fb. After having back pain and unable to sleep I knew I had to get it sorted. Bruce provided an initial assessment and xrays. After providing me with a clear indication what my problem was I booked in 2 sessions a week over a 5 week period. After a few sessions I could instantly feel the benefit. Bruce and team are amazing, very friendly and professional. My treatment so far, my back pain and posture has improved. Definitely recommend Bruce and team
Thank you Nikki. We are very happy to help you :)
Fantastic experience: Going to this chiropractic clinic and seeing Dr Jess and Matt and other staff has genuinely really helped my back even after just a few sessions, I do alot of heavy work, build scaffolds etc, and they showed me in an x Ray where the pressues on my spine were. I will admit that I was always abit suspicious of 'adjustments' , and whether it could genuinely help. But after a couple of sessions it genuinely does seem to have improved my lower back, which is much better than anything the NHS have managed to do. I also feel really calm for a couple of hours after a session which is great, and now I know what feeling 'zen' means.
Thank you for your honest review :) and fantastic to hear that you are making improvements and feel more relaxed
Fantastic experience: Vast improvement to my back pain. Friendly knowledgeable staff who have no problem listening to me moan Jess and Matt are brilliant and would highly recommend

Would recommend to anyone as they go over and beyond to help with the exercises and home exercises. Very very good.
Thank you for sharing Michael :)
Fantastic experience: Went into Optimal Align with a long running football injury that, unchecked, had affected my whole frame/spinal arrangement. I've met and interfaced mostly with Bruce, Sasha, Anna and Ollie (and to a lesser extent Jess) who present a friendly and positive face to enabling improvement in how I move and hence live.
Thank you for sharing Dave :)
Fantastic experience: Very friendly, knowledgable and helpful team. I have spent over 40 years in agony trying every technique and strategy under the sun for ever constant back pain resulting in long bouts of depression. After meeting with the team, they very quickly identified something that all previous practitioners and doctors had missed using inhouse XRays and other weird and wonderful gadgets. Six months into treatment and my back pain is non existant and if I do something silly or have a sporting mishap which would ordinarily incapacitate me for weeks or months, I now recover in days. I am extremely grateful to have stumbled upon this team. my quality of life has changed dramatically!
Thank you for sharing Tony, very happy we have helped you :)
Fantastic experience: Friendly, professional
Thank you for sharing :)
