Fantastic experience: 5 star rating for 5 star treatment & advice. Would recommend Hazel in a heartbeat to anybody with aches & pains, the service given is second to none.
Fantastic experience: Hazel takes time to understand your needs and how it's affecting you physically to work the best treatment plan for you. She always puts you at ease (the thought of a chiropractor can unnerve people who haven't experienced before) and ensures at all times you are comfortable and understand what's involved. Easy booking system, easy location, excellent treatment and highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Hazel was warm and welcoming for my consultation. I can see why Hazels professional and holistic approach to treatment was recommended by my friend. I came away with both knowledge and actions which has left me feeling positive about helping my aches and pains!
Fantastic experience: Hazel is so lovely and has helped me so much. I came to her in August with plantar fasciitis (sharp heel pain) and now it has gone. She has also helped me with my posture, neck pain, back pain and glute pain. She’s very knowledgable. She also teaches you how to take care of yourself daily, not just at the appointments.
Fantastic experience: Warm & welcoming, astute & affective. Hazel helped me with my lower back and aided me in understanding the reasons why I was experiencing these issues in a holistic way. She used multiple techniques and I left the clinic feeling significantly better every time. The visits were. Also very reasonably priced.

Thank you for such a lovely review, hope to see you soon :)
Fantastic experience: This was my first chiropractor session and Hazel was very welcoming, professional and reassuring. I left the session feeling like I’d been fully heard and treated, and she gave me detailed advice on how to improve my physical shape going forward. I also appreciated that she only used the cracking technique when it was warranted, not just for the sake of it. Instead, she used a range of techniques that best suited my condition. Would recommend to anyone, whether it’s your first time or you’re seasoned patient!
Thank you for such a lovely review! Hope all is well with you :)
Fantastic experience: I found the experience to be very helpful and with an all-round approach for a long-term fix
Hey Chris, thank you for such a lovely review :)
Fantastic experience: Hazel is always professional and lovely. She has treated my aches and pains both trivial and serious for over ten years now. She fixed my hips when I couldn't walk after mowing the lawn at 34 weeks pregnant. I went from shuffling along using a stick to walking properly after one session. She helped me loads with my back when I had disc bulges which caused severe sciatica, she's sorted out a frozen shoulders which left me in so much pain I was struggling to walk and she fixes my recurrent episodes of Benign proximal positional vertigo (BPPV) always careful that I don't fall off the bed in dizzy state. She's listen to my woes when I've cried because the pain and life just becomes too much! It's tempting to book an appointment even when I don't have a issue that needs treating, just to have a chat!
Hello Catherine, thank you for writing such a lovely review. I guess it must be over 10 years - crazy! It was so nice to meet the little one that would of been in your bump recently. Always so nice to have a chat, hope to see you soon :)
Fantastic experience: A brilliant session with Hazel to support my recently strained lower back. I left with so much more movement in and ease and with a clear plan of how to support my recovery until my next session. Thank you!
Thank you Bethan for a lovely review xx

Fantastic experience: I do look forward to having a chiropractic session with Hazel and I always come away feeling better. She’s very professional has helped me with reoccurring issues and I now have regular maintenance sessions with her which helps me feeling healthy and happy. She’s super professional and also has a very caring and nurturing side to her practice. I have recommended her to a number of friends and family members and she has helped many of them over the years.

Awwww thanks Anz so good to hear you found it helpful. No doubt see you on the mat soon x
Fantastic experience: Hazel is such a wonderful, warm and down to earth teacher. I love going to her classes and I've been practicing yoga for a decade. They are so inclusive yet also with enough opportunity for challenge. Her knowledge of breathwork and anatomy is also incredible and seamlessly brought in.
Thanks Clare for such a lovely review. PI enjoy seeing your face come up online and hope to see you more in-person if you do move back over this way. Take care x
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Hazel's chiropractor practice for quite a few years and, it positively impacted on my health and well-being. Whenever I go there, the room and her presence made me feel relaxed and it felt like I was in good hands. The acupuncture always eases my pain which is good and also very beneficial! I feel so blessed to know Hazel. Thank you so much! :)

Fantastic experience: Hazel clearly knows what she's doing! After struggling with repeated lower back issues for years it was finally time to do something about it, she accurately and quickly diagnosed what the issue was and carried out effective treatment with lots of advice along the way.
Thanks Lewis for your lovely review, hope to catch up soon :)
Fantastic experience: Exceeded my expectations of recovering, as I thought I would not be mobile as I was hoping after an operation, that restricted movement on my left hand side. Started seeing benefits after 2 sessions. Would definitely recommend Hazel.
Thank you Ferzana, I am also so pleased with your improvement and so much of that is your commitment to your rehab :) see you soon!
Fantastic experience: A consumate professional and thoroughly pleasant always. Hazel’s been treating my back for years now. I won’t be going anywhere else as long as she’s in business.
Always a pleasure to see you Nigel, thanks for a lovely review :)
Fantastic experience: I had such a wonderful experience with Hazel this week. I was a little worried, it being my first chiropractic appointment, but Hazel instantly put me at ease. There was a thorough initial assessment where she really took the time to learn about me and my body, really understanding my quite complicated medical history. Hazel then performed her treatment, which was a mix of chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture and soft tissue massage. Overall, I can't wait to go back!
Thanks Hannah for such a lovely review! :)
Fantastic experience: Hazel was amazing with her treatment and assessment since I am a first time customer. She adjusted my shoulder and neck and did a very good job with them and thanks to her I believe I could sleep better now can't wait to get adjusted next week to fix my neck situation even further until I am 100% fine. Thank you very much Hazel for your help!
Thank you that is great to hear :)
Fantastic experience: As a neaurodivergent person it can be hard to find comforting and supportive therapists and hazel form the outset made me feel at home, took the time to talk me through everything and show me where I had been lifting wrong, and even left me an email after reminding me of what we talked about and it really made the the whole experience lovely, will definitely return
Thanks Thomas for such a lovely review, hope all is well with you!
Fantastic experience: Hazel is fantastic, whatever problem I have gone to her with she always has a solution. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Thanks Steve, well you do like to mix it up ;) always a pleasure!
Fantastic experience: Hazel was relaxed and easy going and the room was pleasant. The questions she asked were relevant and there was just enough conversation. The treatment was excellent. I really felt she knew what was going on with my back, why and what I needed to do to correct it. I have already recommended her to a friend.
Thanks Margaret for a lovely review, hope all is well with you!
Fantastic experience: Always a professional and friendly experience leaving my back feeling more aligned!!
Thanks Ben, look forward to catching up soon and hearing about your adventures :)
Fantastic experience: I have been to Hazel for years. She is the only one able to adjust my neck the way it need it after many whiplash from horse ridding my neck as always been my weakest. Hazel simply know how to help and ease the tension. She also isn’t someone that will hit you with a crazy costly course of care. And this what I like. Making me feel at ease and always feeling brand new walking out the clinic. Thank you and see you Friday x
Thanks Laura for such a thoughtful and lovely review! See you soon :)
Fantastic experience: Hazel makes you feel at home in her practice, it's welcoming and warm. I have been to see her several times over the past few years and always leave feeling like I have brand new spine and my whole body has been looked after!
Thanks Callum lovely feedback :)
Fantastic experience: Only the second chiropractor I have seen over the years. However Hazel's services are incomparable. Thoroughly recommend
Thanks Dan, that is lovely to hear :)
Fantastic experience: Hazel was incredibly warm and reassuring, she made me feel completely at ease.
Thanks Jen for such lovely feedback :)
Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly, felt so much lighter after
Thanks Tom, hope you have been keeping up those hip openers :)
Fantastic experience: Hazel was the first after a very long list of others before her who had tried to treat my repeated shoulder injury that had plagued me for years. A few years ago after a series of treatments, Hazel had resolved my problem and I haven’t needed treatment for the issue since! Another unrelated issue came up with my neck and after a couple of sessions, the problem was resolved. Hazel is a chiropractic wizard and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is my go to now for all chiropractic and physio related problems.
Thanks Lewis that is lovely to hear :)
Fantastic experience: I have had chiropractic treatments from Hazel for several years now. The treatments have offered me immediate relief from pain and stiffness, but she also offers expert advice on movements and exercises to incorporate into my day to create lasting changes.
Ah James thanks for a lovely review, sorry not replied sooner just realised how to do it hope to catch up again soon
Fantastic experience: Amazing! Just what I needed. So thoughtful and personalised. I highly recommend Hazel. Thank you for everything.
Thanks Sita, hope to see you soon for the Monday evening class :)
Fantastic experience: Hazel Bugler is amazing. I have been seeing her on and off for years now. As a sports massage therapist I can be picky on what practitioners I go to see, but Hazel's knowledge and approach are super effective and her bubbly nature just tops off the whole experience. She gives advice clearly and educates you as well as manually treats the issues. I respect and trust her to do what she can and refer patients when need be. What a woman!
Awww thanks Noosh, just sad you are too far away now to send my patients to you! Hope all is well in Falmouth
Fantastic experience: Hazel has been my Chiropractor for a few years now. I really enjoy her approach of combining yoga knowledge with the treatments. The needling, massage, straps and exercises are so much more than I was expecting and have received before. She has saved my neck, back and hips a number of times! Always come away feeling amazing - even if it's sore the next day my range of movement and chronic pain always vanishes. Highly recommend!
Thanks Meg for such a lovely review and all the friends you have recommended my way. I feel you always set a very high expectation (no pressure) he he but they all seem pretty happy. Hope you are using your desk set up and not working on the floor.... ;)
Fantastic experience: Hazel was able to create a welcoming and relaxing experience, backed up by her professionalism. The treatment exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend Hazel to anyone needing a chiropractor.
Thanks so lovely to hear!
Fantastic experience: Hazel is always friendly & thorough with assessment. She really listens to what my issue is and works with me to find the best treatment to resolve it, including giving me loads of tools to help myself and manage better going forwards. I highly recommend!
Thanks Lucy, no doubt see you soon :)
Fantastic experience: Hazel is wonderful. First time having any kind of chiropractic treatment for me, but she took it slow, explained everything so clearly and has encyclopaedic knowledge about the body! Came away relaxed and confident. Highly recommend.
Thanks Emily for your lovely review :)
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Hazel for 7 years and I honestly don’t know how I would get through without her. I’ve had lists of Chiros over the years but as soon as I found Hazel I knew I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Hazel is knowledgeable, friendly and professional. She talks in depth about how lifestyle can help your pain, as well as being very anatomical. Over the years of working together on my chronic pain, she knows exactly how to maintain my condition so that I can manage day to day. Thank you Hazel.
Awwww thanks Mary such a lovely review, sorry only just replying didn't realise I could (great IT skills) do hope all is well in your world and do say hello of ever back Bristol way
