Active Care Chiropractic: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I've been treated by Active Care for 2 years now after being recommended due to a severe lower back pain which was caused by two bulging Discs , the up front consultation was very informative and the treatment given was superb, needless to say I'm no longer suffering, following on from that I have had an ongoing issue with knee pain and have had xrays showing deterioration around the knee joint, I'm told I need a partial knee replacement, however, since having Red Light treatment at Active Care I'm no longer struggling and my quality of life has improved immensely, The staff here are true professionals of their trade and I xant thank them enough for doing what they do .
Thank you so much for this Andy - what a lovely review to read. It means so much to us .
See you soon

Fantastic experience: I had 2 courses of Novothor red light therapy over 6 months, during training I was doing for a marathon (my first marathon and highly likely my last!) which was invaluable. It helped with my energy levels and, without doubt, kept niggling injuries at bay. I'm not sure I could have managed the training without it and would recommend it to anyone who was thinking of having red light therapy. Active Care Chiropractic is such a warm and friendly practice, and Nancy, Brenda and Vicky were always on hand in reception for advice and kind words.
Oh Karen, thank you so much for writing this ❤️.
You trained so hard and we are all so impressed with what you achieved.....and all for such a great cause.
We are so pleased that NovoTHOR was able to give you a boost through your training.... it is always a pleasure to see you in clinic and we hope to see you again soon .

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Active Care for over a year now when I developed sciatica after a popped hip. I've since been coming once a month to see Tristan to help with the general day to day and it's been fantastic, the care is amazing and the company even better. I always look forward to chatting to the team and feel great after the treatment!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Daniel, it means so much to us all to read a review like yours .
We are so glad you enjoy your monthly visits - we enjoy them too .
See you in 4 weeks time!

Fantastic experience: I visit Active care with a back problem. Harry was fantastic with his assessment explaining everything he was doing & diagnosed the problem straight away. After several visits, my back pain has gone & I am able to go about my every day activities for the first time in along time pain free. Would highly recommend Active care chiropractic the care from day one was 110%. Thanks Harry & the fantastic team

Fantastic experience: Amazing! I have been seeing Tristan for over a year now with neck and lower back pain, and he is brilliant at what he does. I get instant relief. I go every few weeks for an adjustment and it's really easy to book, the reception team are very accommodating to appointment changes and go above and beyond. I would recommend Active Care Chiropractic to everyone. They are a brilliant.

Fantastic experience: The best thing I have spent my money on. Following a few months suffering with hip pain, visited Harry and with his expert knowledge and magic touch, definitely feel on the way to be 100% pain free. All the staff are so welcoming and would definitely recommend Active Care. Trust the process and you too could be pain free.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend going here if you have any joint or mobility issues. I had a knee injury and went to see Harry and instantly began making progress in fixing the reoccurring problems I had been experiencing with it from day 1. Every staff member who I came across was very kind and welcoming too, it was a brilliant experience throughout.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Max - we never grow tired of reading such lovely words.

Fantastic experience: I recently visited Active Care, as recommended by a friend, and had a really positive experience with Triston. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and completely at ease. Triston took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and explained everything clearly before starting any treatment, which I really appreciated. The treatment was gentle yet very effective, and I noticed a real improvement in my mobility and overall comfort, particularly in my lower back and leg. I was also given helpful advice on posture and simple exercises to support my recovery at home. The environment was clean, calm, and professional, making the whole experience both relaxing and beneficial. I’ve already booked return treatments, which says it all. I would definitely recommend Triston at Active Care to anyone dealing with pain or stiffness. Mandy M
Fantastic experience: My Dad loved coming here to use the red light machine and I loved coming to talk to the staff. A really lovely place with great service and great people. Thank you for looking after us.
It's been a pleasure getting to know you all Sophie. Your Dad was such a lovely man, ALWAYS smiling .
Thank you for taking the time to write this, especially now.
The kettle is always on at Active Care and you are always very welcome to pop in if you are passing.

Fantastic experience: Easily the best money I spend every six weeks. I have been going to this professional warm friendly practice for over 3 years. Always accommodating and I come away feeling like a new person. Phil is very knowledgeable and takes great care with any treatment. I 100% recommended Active Care Chiropractic.
Hi Steve,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this - it means so much to us all :-)
It is always a delight to see you and we enjoy your chats
See you in 6 weeks :-)

Phil and all at Active Care Chiropractic
Fantastic experience: Having suffered with back pain for years a friend recommended Active Care Chiropractor. I cannot rate it enough. My back used to 'go' for nothing and I would have delibitating lower back pain all the time. After my first visit, I really noticed a difference. I have had a few appointments now at the Melrosegate practice and my back is so much better. I don't have lower back pain any more. I just wish I had made an appointment years ago!! A very happy customer!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Ruth - it means so much to us all to read things like this :-)
We are so glad that your friend recommended us to you and that and have now found us and we have been able to help you :-)
See you soon

Fantastic experience: I saw Hary Whitaker recently for severe back pain, and I’m so glad I did. I was quite sceptical about chiropractic treatment at first, but he is extremely knowledgeable and made me feel completely at ease. My back pain has improved so much since starting treatment. The atmosphere is also warm and welcoming. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Agata, it means so much to us all.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, efficient, with very professional staff and lovely people in reception. Everything was delivered on time and with plenty of space to ask questions and check on progress. Very nice surroundings and a very reassuring sense of progress week to week. Thoroughly recommended.
That's a lovely review Stephen, thank you for taking the time to write it
We are so pleased Tristan was able to help you.

Fantastic experience: I was traveling through York on my backpacking trip and needed to see a chiropractor. Active Care Chiropractors managed to fit me in on such short notice. The service was exceptional, from the receptionist to the thorough appointment with Harry. I found it very reasonably priced for a traveler and would happily recommend it to anyone.
Hi Amber,
Thank you so much for writing us a review .
We're so glad we were able to help you. It was lovely to meet you and we hope you enjoy the rest of your travels .
Fantastic experience: I almost crawled into Active Care Chiropractic in agony with my neck and back and I had put it down to arthritis but after 1 visit to Harry and his magic hands the pain improved and after 2 further visits I am pain free. I couldn't believe it and I am so grateful to have my life back after thinking I would be stuck in agony forever. Harry proves age is no barrier to chiropractic treatment which actually works, painkillers wouldn't touch it. Whether 17 or 70 Harry can help neck and back pain, I won't hesitate to visit in future if I have any pain.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Val, it really does mean so much to us all .
We are so glad you found us and that Harry was able to help you .

Fantastic experience: As a team we use Active Care Chiropractic regularly to keep on top of the niggles we get from doing our work, All the staff are so friendly really professional & very knowledgeable in what they do wouldn't go anywhere else can highly recommend.
Thanks team Yorvik Windscreens - we are so pleased we can help you keep on top of your niggles .
Its always a real pleasure to see you and your vans in our carpark
Fantastic experience: I have been using Active Care Chiropractic regularly for a few years now to keep on top of everything, I can honestly say I wouldn't go anywhere else Phil & the team are so friendly & knowledgeable in what they do. 5 star service every time.
Thanks Stuart for taking the time to write this, it means so much to us all.
Its always a pleasure to see you in clinic .
Fantastic experience: I contacted Active Care after it had been recommended to me as I have struggled for 2 years with knee pain. Doctors were unable to help as unsure of the cause of pain. I emailed the clinic detailing my situation, I received a quick response and it was recommended I go in for a consultation. I was booked in with Tristan, not only is he and everyone at the clinic lovely, he is extremely knowledgeable. I was treated with kindness and respect. I was instantly made to feel at ease and its the first time in 2 years that someone has been able to help my pain, I have continued to book in with Tristan and I could not recommended him and the clinic enough.
This was wonderful to read Lynsey, we're so pleased we have been able to help you .

Fantastic experience: Absolutely excellent and professional service. 10/10. I have been using the NovoTHOR bed (Red Light Therapy/Photobiomodulation) for the last couple of months at Active Care Chiropractic. I can't recommend the treatment and the service of the staff enough! I will definitely return in the future. The benefits I now have are: - Overall significant decrease in Long Covid symptoms - Reduced sore joints and less aching - Improved sleep, and waking up easier - Improved skin appearance - Improved eyesight (This was incredible to me, my vision became much clearer and sharper, colours looked brighter, and I could see further!) - Reduced mental fatigue and physical fatigue - More energy - More calmness - Reduced anxiousness and low mood - Improved focus and cognitive function (it actually helped me with my ADHD symptoms; just after only a few sessions, I could finally read a page of a book very easily, and my mind felt much "clearer"). Initially, I wanted to help heal my Long COVID, which unfortunately I had had since January 2025. Since having Long COVID, I would wake up with sore joints and pains, feel mental and physical fatigue, and my body would just be constantly aching. I looked into Red Light Therapy, and found that a state-of-the-art machine called 'NovoTHOR', could help heal Long COVID significantly over time. I contacted Active Care Chiropractic, since they have one of the NovoTHOR machines, and immediately found them to be incredibly friendly and helpful. I already had a good feeling about their service from their website, but my conversation with them on the phone confirmed my intuition that they were incredibly professional and keen to help. They offered me a completely free first session to use the NovoTHOR bed, which I found to be generous and accommodating. After feeling some positive effects after my first session (feeling more relaxed and experiencing a good night's sleep immediately), I decided to go through with the 12-session package. I can confidently say that for every session that I had in the NovoTHOR at Active Care Chiropractic, I was extremely satisfied. Now that my 12-session package has finished, I feel a lot better, physically and mentally. Red Light Therapy helped in speeding up my recovery from Long Covid and countless other things, too. Thank you so much to the staff at Active Care Chiropractic (Vicky, Nancy and Brenda), you were all incredibly helpful, professional and kind. I most definitely will return to Active Care Chiropractic in the future with my family and friends.
Wow Hamza, what an incredible review, so detailed and thoughtful.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write all that, it means so much to all of us
It's been wonderful having you in the clinic and we look forward to seeing you again soon .
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend the service at Active Care enough. Thanks to Harry Whitaker, I was able to complete a marathon pain free despite an injury just three weeks out. His ability to identify and resolve the issue was first class and has shared clear instructions to prevent the issue occuring again. Staff at Active Care are all very friendly, helpful and professional and I would not hesitate to use again. Many thanks
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Josh, it means so much to us all
You looked great on the course today, what a brilliant time! It's been a pleasure sharing your journey to the York Marathon .

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Active Care Chiropractic highly enough! My 16-year-old son, who has Autism and a severe receptive language disorder, has had amazing results after just 12 sessions of Novothor therapy. He’s now able to run, something he couldn’t do before, and his speech and conversations have improved so much. The change has been truly life-changing for our family. The staff are all wonderful, kind, caring, and supportive every step of the way. We are so grateful for everything they’ve done. If you’re considering Novothor, don’t hesitate, it’s absolutely worth it!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Sparkles - it means so much to us to read things like this.

Fantastic experience: I saw Tristan at Active Care after 3 weeks of worsening back pain at night. The assessment was thorough and everything was very clearly explained. He gave me excellent advice for an issue aggravated by my desk job, as well as several follow up appointments to support my recovery and I'm happy to say the issue is now resolved. The receptionists are helpful and the service is excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone struggling with back issues.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Kate - it means so much to us all.
Its been lovely getting to know you in clinic recently

Fantastic experience: Such a great place to come Phil knows his stuff and made me feel confident to return to full health to continue playing rugby Great people and staff couldn’t reccomnded this place enough!
Hi Mark,
We're so glad we were able to help you keep playing.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review we really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: My partner Keith Clarke has been treated by Harry Whittaker at Active Care. He’s been suffering with really bad back issues for a long time. Harry has worked with Keith for the last month and the change has been remarkable. We would really recommend these guys for all your aches and pains. Thanks Harry
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Claire - it means so much to us all :-) .
It's been lovely meeting Keith in clinic and we're so pleased we have been able to help him.

Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough of these guys. All of the five star reviews do most of the talking so, if I could say anything else to anybody at a bit of a loss with a nasty / niggling back pain, or feeling unable to wait weeks for an initial NHS physio, it would be to at least give them a go. I went in sceptical - but they were reassuring, clear, and patient, with me. Very quickly I had both the feelings of (not just) steady physical improvement but also the mental improvement from the peace of mind that there was a "plan" that was working. I'll always be grateful for Harry and the teams support.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Kallum - we are so pleased we were able to help and reassure you :-)
You know where we are if you need us again...and good luck with the marathon training

Fantastic experience: Tristan is fantastic, explains everything in layman’s terms and is a very pleasant man. I highly recommend him to anyone. His treatment changes my day to day existence tremendously.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Antony - we love how much Tristan has been able to help you
Fantastic experience: I went to Active Care Chiropractic in June 2025 with significant neck and shoulder pains from cycling. I was doing a challenging stage of the Tour de France 4 weeks later for charity and needed to get sorted. I wasn’t expecting miracles but what Phil was able to do to in a relatively short period of time to ease these pains and loosen my posture was remarkable. I was able to complete L’Etape, 80+ miles with 14,000ft of climbing. This would not have been possible without Phil’s expert help - chapeau!
Wow - congratulations Dave, some serious hill work - what an experience and what an achievement!!
We're so glad we could play even a small role in your endeavour.
Thank you for taking the time to let us know, we really do appreciate it.
Look forward to hearing all about the ride.
Fantastic experience: My son had progressive back pain over a 4 year period. Following numerous visits to the doctor and referrals to the physiotherapist with no joy we were in a situation where he couldn’t play sport, was taking pain killers regularly and having to lay on the floor just to ease the pain. I started researching chiropractors and found the excellent reviews for Active Care Chiropractic. I called and the information given by the receptionist was amazing. Despite us living 50 minutes away we booked in for a consultation with Harry. Whilst my son had his consultation I tried the infrared bed which was a real treat! When he finished his consultation we went for a walk before our car journey home. His first words to me was “That was the best experience of my life. Not only did Harry tell me what was wrong with my back, he was able to tell me how I slept, how I sat at my desk at work, how I sat in my car all by the muscles in my back. He is a god” It transpired my son had functional scoliosis from a previous knee injury and prolonged use of crutches. 4 months on my son is pain free and only visiting Harry once a month for check ups. He is playing all sports and not taking any painkillers. If you are in any doubt of booking with Active Care Chiropractic just do it. Their whole team is amazing - especially Harry.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review Debbie - it means so much to us all.
So pleased that your son is doing so well now - it's always a pleasure to see him in clinic .
Hope you're having a lovely summer ☀️
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at Active Care Chiropractors for about 9 months. During that time I have received several sessions of Red Light Therapy on their Novothor unit which has had many positive outcomes. To book a block of 12 is very cost effective and ensures retention and concentration of the therapy. Also of valuable note are the sessions undergone with Dr. Tristan, who is thorough, kind, understanding and his treatment has had a positive impact on my problem. The welcoming reception staff are wonderful and engaging. For what more could a patient ask. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Horatia, it means so much to us all to read reviews like yours ❤️.
We are so glad we have been able to help you - enjoy your next adventure and keep in touch .
Fantastic experience: The team at active care chiropractic are always excellent. Both Harry and Tristan have helped me quickly recover from a calf injury (from playing too much padel). Brenda at reception was also incredibly helpful with setting up appointments and answering all my questions. Would massively recommend.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Nathan, it means so much to us all.
It's great to know that the team have been able to help keep you on that padel court - and that Brenda could answer all your questions :-)
See you soon!
Fantastic experience: I was recommended to Harry after I started with lower back pain. Not unbearable but a constant and annoying pain. I was given treatment plan and given some exercises and stretches to do at home. Not only as a cure but a long term prevention plan. Amazingly I have not had any pain at all for 3 months. I do my 20-30mins stretches daily and I feel better than I have for years. It’s a truly honest and skilled practice that works hard for you. I would recommend Harry to anyone. I am thankful for his skill and care. He’s really good. Despite being a Leeds fan
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Carl - it means so much to us all :-)
We're glad that you have been benefiting from Harry's care even though he doesn't support Rotherham :-)
Fantastic experience: The team at active care chiropractic are absolutely wonderful, there is such excellent care on offer, the attention to detail and treatment you receive are far beyond what I expected. It is incredibly effective treatment for my herniated disc and I cannot recommend them enough. If there is any hesitation please let this be the push you need to go for it.
Wow Nick, what an amazing review!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write it.
We're so pleased that we've been able to help you and we're so glad you're happy with your experience in our clinic.
Fantastic experience: My experience of Active Care Chiropractic in York was nothing short of perfection. From the friendly, kind and caring front end Brenda, amongst others, to Dr Tristan Prince (I hear Phil is equally brilliant!), who displayed compassion, empathy, patience, outstanding and effective care and advice, I would recommend this wonderful team without reservation... they must be good... I travelled a 3 hour round trip just to be a patient of this amazing team! My ailment was a 6 year battle with chronic ischia bursitis and gluteal tendonopathy... these guys really know their anatomy and physiology and can nail your pain in record time.
Oh Andy - that's a really lovely review - thank you!
It means so much to us to read things like this :-)
You have a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine
Fantastic experience: Been having treatment for almost 2 years and from the first time where I could hardly move to now when I go every 5-6 months the service is 5*! Looking back on the years of suffering I’ve had due to a back and knee injury to now where I’m pain and stiffness free I would recommend Active Care without question. Massive thanks to Phil and his team.
Its always lovely to see you in clinic Dorian - thank you so much for taking the time to write this, it means so much to us all.
See you soon :-)
Fantastic experience: I have fibromyalgia and had read reports of red light therapy helping with the pain. These red light centres are scarce at the moment, then I came across Active Care Chiropractic in York. Revelation! I disliked the 2 hour journey needed to get there but I loved arriving and meeting the friendly, efficient staff who work there. I came to feel like I was visiting family so easy was the atmosphere. A cup of tea, a biscuit and then on to the redlight bed for 20 minutes for 8 weeks has undoubtedly eased some of my pain and stiffness. I heartily recommend this practice for anyone needing help. Sheila Brown
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Sheila, it means so much to us to hear things like this!
It is always a pleasure to see you in the clinic - and you definitely deserve those biscuits after your long journey.
We are delighted that the redlight has been helping you - we’re so glad you found us
Fantastic experience: I have been in agony with my shoulder for about 4 months to the point that it was effecting my, sleep , my happiness and overall mental health. After 2 visits the pain has completely gone. Dr Harry is absolutely amazing at his job, he listens carefully, knows 100% completely what he is talking about and it is completely obvious that he is very passionate about his field of work. He also made me feel completely at ease, even when I'm there stood in my underwear having my neck and back cracked, twisted and popped back into place. I 100 % recommend this practice and the staff are all so friendly and welcoming. The only regret is that I didn't go as soon as the pain started, I could have saved myself months of painful and restless nights.
Hi Vicki,
Thank you so much for leaving us a review.
It means everything to us to know we've been able to help and we really appreciate you taking the time to write this.
Thanks again, the Active Care Team.
Fantastic experience: Following Spinal Treatment that got me through cycling 'Coast to Coast', also Post Treatment for an injury incurred on route, I want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to ALL the TEAM. I've made a full recovery. A client for 16 years, fully Recommend this Chiropractic Clinic
Thank you so much for posting this Carol - we really appreciate it. It's been a real pleasure working with you over the years and seeing all the amazing things you have achieved :-)
Fantastic experience: Having been battling with a painful knee for months, and being effectively fobbed-off by my GP, I booked a session with Harry. My expectations were not high, but I was proven very wrong! After a very thorough examination, Harry embarked on a series of manipulations. The relief was instantaneous! Afterwards, a session of photobiomodulation (PBM) using their NovoTHOR machine left me feeling invigorated! The whole experience was fantastic and I'm very much looking forward to the next session. I cannot recommend Active Care Chiropractic highly enough!
Hi William,
So delighted to hear that you felt the benefit from both Harry's assessment and treatment and your session on NovoTHOR, that's absolutely brilliant.
Thank you for taking the time to write this we really appreciate it and look forward to seeing you next time.
:-)
Fantastic experience: Reception staff always lovely. I've been treated by, and recommend, Harry. I have a disorder that affects my tendons, so it's expected that things will take a long time to recover, but Harry has always been very encouraging which helps me to stay positive. He knows his stuff (seriously - I've had various osteopaths and chiropractors over the years and he KNOWS his stuff). He always listens to what I need, while explaining anything necessary. He's great, as is the practice. I recommend highly.
Jo
Thank you so much for taking the time to write those lovely words, they mean to much to us all.
You're timing of writing this couldn't have been better (just before Harry's holiday - you sent him off with a massive smile :-) )
See you soon
Fantastic experience: Having had a slipped disc and rang my Doctors at a well know York practice i was sent a text at 3pm saying i was critical but they had reached their limit for the day. I was recommended by a friend to contact Active care. They got me in the following day and nearly having to be carried in i saw Harry and after some treatment i walked out albeit still in pain but walked up and down the street. After a few more visits i was able to go back to work part time and am still having treatment as a slipped disc is not an instant fix. They are a friendly team especially Harry who has worked wonders on my back and is now moving on to my legs.
Hi Kevin,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, it means a lot to us.
It's always a pleasure to see you.
Hopefully Harry will have you back to your best soon.
Thanks again
Team ACC
Fantastic experience: Amazing and lovely team that are always happy to help and very friendly. Have been seeing Phil for 5 years on/off (due to ease of pain) for treatment and always works wonders and has helped a lot with getting me more help. Used the NovoTHOR not expecting much but received fab results and has eased a lot of pain that I have had for over 7 years. Highly recommend!!
Hi Elise,
Thank you so much for leaving a review.
It's always a pleasure to be able to help you.
We're so glad you feel some benefit from the things we do.
Your positive feedback means everything to us - we love to be able to help.
Thanks again.
Fantastic experience: I saw Phil last week following a sudden onset low back problem. Phil was kind, reassuring and very knowledgeable and talked me through every aspect of the appointment and what to expect. Vicky was really kind and reassuring when I first called and went out of her way to help me. I highly recommend Active Care!
Hi Rebecca,
So pleased we were able to help you.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate it.
All the very best,
Active Care Chiropractic :-)
Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Phil and Tristan. I had a recent back spasm that was causing me a lot of pain. Phil diagnosed the issue very quickly and got me on the mend within a short period of time.
Hi Carl,
Glad you're feeling better.
Always a pleasure to be able to help.
Thank you for taking the time to let us know!!
Thank you,
Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend all the staff at Active Care - I have been a client for approx 10 years. They have treated a back issue caused by a faulty car seat quickly and painlessly. My husband has been treated for tennis elbow (after unsuccessful treatment elsewhere) and is now fully recovered, he also was successfully treated for a back issue after a skiing accident. My Mum had vertigo and the doctors couldn't help - ActiveCare cured her problem and she was able to drive again. My Dad has had a painful leg and poor sleep and is now fully recovered (hes 86). The biggest gain was my Daughter (23) has been treated after various horse riding accidents. During her A levels she suffered from intense headaches and attributed this to the pressure of exams - Phil identified that an old riding injury needed treating and the headaches disappeared. She would have continued for years to belief it was a stress headache and is totally cured. Thank you Active Care for all you do.
Vicky, thank you so much for your kind words. We can honestly say every encounter has been a true pleasure.
It's an honour to be trusted to treat your whole family.
Fantastic experience: I highly highly recommend Phil! Whenever someone mentions any kind of back or knee pain, Active Care is the first and only place that comes to mind. I first saw Phil about 4-5 years ago when i was in excruciating back pain and after a few sessions he helped to heal the pain. Now i only need to see him every 6 months or so. All the staff are so kind and welcoming, I have NOTHING bad to say about Active Care.
Thank you Georgia for your kind words.
It's always been a real pleasure to be able to help you.
:-)
Fantastic experience: Where to start. Staff amazing so friendly, helpful and a pleasure to deal with from booking to the physical sessions. Very personal but professional service all were great with a recently sudden death and they were so accommodating. Now the sessions them self's are great. Had a upper back issue for years and on 1st visit Tristan literally found it on the 1st check. After a few breath taking sessions ( in a good way!) eventually started to get some progress and now can safely say so so much better. Really well explained at what the issue is, what he does to help it and what you can do to help your problem. Can not rate them highly enough. Thank you
David, that was so lovely to read; thank you!!
We are so glad that you are benefiting so much from our care - we look forward to seeing you soon.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant - went there after having a year of back problems. All sorted in a few weeks. Very professional and the customer service is excellent. Would highly recommend Tristan and the team.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review Martin - its always lovely to see you; we're so glad you are on the mend.
See you soon :-)
Fantastic experience: We can not thank Tristan and the team enough for the difference they have made to my daughter's pain and as a result her life. Suffering with chronic pain for over two years we tried countless methods and professional treatments before Active Care were recommend to us. From the moment we arrived with a distraught teenager in serious physical pain to this day their care has been professional, highly skilled, compassionate and kind. Tristan knew exactly how to talk to her and always made her feel at ease despite the obvious distress she was experiencing as a result of her condition. He listened to her and knew exactly how much treatment she could handle each time. Now back to playing cricket and enjoying life once more she has Tristan and his team to thank . We fully recommend Active care.
Hi Lisa,

Fantastic experience: Already recommended Phil to a few people! After years of trying different sports massages thinking the issues I had were purely muscular, someone recommended me to see Phil. Best decision ever. His knowledge of the body is incredible. Nothing is a quick fix but improvements are being made in the short amount of time I have been seeing him. As someone who gets nervous about going to new places, Activechiro has such a relaxed and friendly environment. Definitely recommend.
Thank you Ema.
It's always a real pleasure to work with someone who takes their health and physical wellbeing seriously.
Thank you again for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Thank you to the team at Active Care Chiropractic for helping me get race ready for the Yorkshire Marathon! An extremely knowledgeable team who were great at fitting me in and helping me to manage muscle tightness during training. NovoTHOR really made a difference in my recovery too. Thanks again to Phil, Tristan and the team.
You are VERY welcome Poppy - we were so proud of you on the day - you worked so hard and ran a fantastic race :-). Well done!!
Fantastic experience: My first time to see Tristan and found him so great to explain everything my back was a mess in pain everywhere but after one session i really feeling the benefits already thanks so much Tristan .

Hi Rob,
Thank you for leaving such a kind review it means a lot to the team.

Fantastic experience: Phil is a magician. Very knowledgeable, found the session interesting. Phil sorted my discomfort within a couple of sessions and found root causes very quickly. The sessions are worth every penny.
Thanks Ged for your kind words, its always a pleasure to be able to help.
Fantastic experience: I made an appointment with Phil a few years ago when I was suffering with sciatica and I was bed bound due to been in so much pain. After a few appointments with Phil the different in the pain was so much better that I would walk a small distance. I then came off all my medication and carried on having my appointments. I would 100% recommend Active care to anyone. Its a small team and are all so friendly and make you feel welcome everytime.

Fantastic experience: I just want to start by saying thank you, since I was 15 I’ve always struggled with my lower back. If I was laid or sat down for a period of time It was so uncomfortable. I would always be woken up by the pain and now I am getting a full nights sleep! That in itself is a miracle! Little things like going out for food I’m not constantly fidgeting on my chair, driving etc. I’m living a pain free life it used to be horrible! Honestly phil I can’t thank you enough! What a great practice you have here, you and Vicky are brilliant. From booking in to the service it’s top draw. We all need a pat on the back especially in these times so thanks Phil!
Hello Danny,

Fantastic experience: I usually get very nervous whenever I have any sort of health related appointment anywhere so I was initially anxious on my first visit but Tristan is so kind and really puts me at ease. He's helped both me and my husband so much over the last couple months and I'm truly grateful for his help. He is really wonderful and I recommend him 100%!
Hello Alexa,

Fantastic experience: I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Phil, Vicky and team at Active Care Chiropractic, York. Phil, with his deft skill, is one-of-a-kind and I thank my lucky stars I found him to treat my achy back, which was giving me considerable trouble after years of toil in the kitchen. Vicky, is a delight. Friendly, professional and always accommodating - she gives the impression that no query or request, is too onerous for her capable attention. Thank you Active Care, I really am so grateful for everything. Kate.

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff and great service
Fantastic experience: Phil has looked after my back for a while now. The staff are all so freiendly, you always feel really welcome
Fantastic experience: Just awesome. If you value your physical health at all, and are in any form of pain. Don't put up with it. These guys simply know how to fix you!
Fantastic experience: Miracle workers !
Fantastic experience: Been going here over a year (every 8 weeks). Back feels better than it has in the 22 years I've had issues. Good facilities, honest staff. Kettle is always on
Positive experience: Ok as long as it's just musle stuff no good if you are just worn out
Fantastic experience: Phil is the best chiropractor I've visited! I've spent thousands on physical therapy trying to fix a few issues with my back, hips and shoulders. Within just a couple of sessions with Phil, I noticed huge improvements in all 3 areas...which a previous 2 years of therapy didn't even get close too! Would recommend to anybody! Lovely, welcoming environment too, all staff are wonderful!
Hi Emma,
Thank you so much for writing this review - apparently we never responded to you.... So sorry about that, we really do appreciate reviews like yours!
Hope you are keeping well :-)
All the best

Fantastic experience: Phil is great, really knowledgeable and knows just which parts to press to make you better. Been going for 2 years on and off now. 1st time I went I was a mess and on 4 different painkillers for a trapped nerve that made me want to cut my arm off it hurt so much! It wasn't quick but little by little Phil fixed me. Recently been back due to muscular knots trapping another nerve causing pins and needles and within 3 sessions I feel amazing again. I recommend Active Care over medication and surgery - something I want to avoid having been through it for a trapped ulnar nerve before - ,wish I'd known about graston technique back in 2006!
Fantastic experience: Phil is a miracle worker. Either that or just a really, really good Chiropractor. I had a severe lower back injury 10 years ago that went largely untreated and six months with Phil has made me feel better than I have done for almost a decade.
Fantastic experience: I have visited several chiropractors in my life but this one is by far and away the best. I took my 16 year old daughter for lower back pain and couldn't be more impressed with the whole process from initial contact to aftercare. I was able to get a next day appointment with Phil, who explained everything very thoroughly to us before and during treatment. I was particularly impressed by his instruction for aftercare and how/when to make another appointment. My daughter walked out in much less pain and had enjoyed the experience! Many Thanks Phil and team
Fantastic experience: Phil is great at diagnosing and treating muscular skeletal problems. He's helped me sort out 3 problems over the last 2 years.
Fantastic experience: Great service fixed my neck within no time
Fantastic experience: I've been a customer of Active Care Chiropractic for around 10 years for a variety of sports related injuries. Hands down the best in the business; 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic experience: I have been visiting Phil for years now. The practise offers top professional help
Fantastic experience: With a long history of back problems and visiting Chiropractors, I ‘did my back in’ yesterday whilst on holiday in York. A quick Google search found Active Care and I gave them a ring. No appointments available but, no problem, Vicky on reception took my details and rang me back 10 mins later after checking with Phil the Chiropractor; Phil would fit me in between appointments... The consultation was great. Phil was very professional, friendly and informative, and really ‘hit’ the spot. A great friendly and relaxed atmosphere in the practice. Very highly recommended. Many thanks to Phil and Vicky, you saved my holiday...
Fantastic experience: Very good
Fantastic experience: Excellent friendly staff. It was my first time going. I have fibromyalgia and my muscles get very knotted in my back, neck and shoulders. A deep thorough massage was great. Very relaxing atmosphere too. Will definitely return!
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and understanding. See you really quick and walk out feeling so much better and in muxh less pain. Highly recommend Phil. Even the massages are amazing
Fantastic experience: Always professional. Phil gives sound advice and support. Great team of people.
Fantastic experience: The best chiropractor I have ever been too. Not only is Phil very knowledgeable but he can explain yr condition very well and help you to manage it in real life. I couldn't recommend him and his team more highly.
Fantastic experience: Called in without and appointment & was seen stright away, polite and helpful staff. highly recommended
