I visited Alive back in January for a free consultation and opinion for my regular migraines and knee pain due to a physically challenging job. The team was friendly and welcoming. Edo who did the assessment then recommended a 3 month plan of treatments including adjustments and massage therapy. I instantly began to notice the frequency of my migraines decreasing along with my knee pain being completely gone due to my hip realignment. Highly recommended, thank you!

Edoardo was way beyond professional efficient and helpful. Being his regular clients gives me peace of mine. His care was absolutely outstanding when I had a back injury and needed professional help in the peak season of weddings. Edoardo not only helped me in person but kept in touch with me kinda like being on call and was keen to respond my messages and thanks for his professional care and enthusiasm I was able to recover quicker than I thought! Would only recommend him and his services to anyone to protect your health and prevent downfalls with body alignment. Absolutely amazing business!

I was first introduced to Alive Chiropractic two years ago when I was in a lot of neck and shoulder pain. It was then detected that my pelvis needed adjustment. Alive Chiropractic have worked on these areas so I now suffer very little pain , this is because I receive monthly maintenance appointments. There is no reason to be in pain as Alive Chiropractic are always at the end of a phone. I am currently suffering from sciatica which again is now being treated.I would fully recommend Alive Chiropractic,Edo is a very warm, welcoming caring and does not judge.

When I first visited Edo, I was struggling with poor posture and persistent back pain. In a surprisingly short period, my posture improved dramatically—I now stand up straight effortlessly, something I never thought possible. The constant upper back pain I had has almost completely gone. Edo's approach to treatment is very holistic, he doesn’t just treat the symptoms but provides guidance to achieve overall improved health and well-being. I now feel that I have a much greater understanding of my body, and how to look after it properly!

A wonderful experience so far with Dr Edo at his clinic in Poundbury. I have come away from my first six sessions feeling so much more aware and in tune with my body, and I have experienced noticeable changes in my body and mindset also.Dr Edo is professional, knowledge, and believes firmly in his work which he is clearly passionate about. I feel he has an empowering vision, cares deeply, and has a refreshing balance of western and eastern understanding. Because of this, Dr Edo has a deeper, holistic approach by taking into account all aspects of one's lifestyle (diet, exercise, mental/emotional state) in sessions. For someone like myself who values a holistic perspective on health, Dr Edo's approach is invaluable and helped me relax and feel at great ease. Sam in reception is lovely and you instantly feel welcomed when coming in for a session also. Thank you to you both. Highly recommend!

Dr. Edo has a very calm temperament and his knowledge aids in your own relaxation, which is a help when your own flexibility, mobility or posture are far from relaxed. Sam, the Chiropractic assistant, is the first person to greet you when you arrive and will explain the fundamentals of the practice. The practice is clean, modern and has ample road side parking. The whole experience has been a success and I am now able to move without pain, the new mobility gained will enable me to get on with life and have new experiences and adventures, for this I thank you.

I attended Alive chiropractor after seeing a special offer they were offering and suffering from a bad back for a long time it felt like a good idea to go see what they said. Since this I have been attending twice a week and the improvements are happening.

I have just finished initial treatment for my back problem. Appointments with the NHS in the past have never resulted in a diagnosis let alone treatment. However at Alive I received a diagnosis and treatment plan on the initial consultation. This set out exactly how I was going to be treated and cost. Following the treatment I could not be healthier or happier. An exceptionally professional service in which Dr Edoardo Elisei seems passionate about what he does. It is more than just a hands on treatment on his 'couch', but a full lifestyle treatment ensuring exercises and diet are in balance to assist recovery and as a preventative for the future. I would be happy to recommend to anyone.

Edo is a great professional, very friendly and knowledgeable. He corrected my posture in only few months, he said this was going to happen and I couldn't believe it, it was so fast and happened, the changes not only I could feel them but also you can see them. He did the adjustments with a lot of care, with a lot of patience he took the time to give the advices and exercises that I could benefit my posture in the future. I totally recommend him.

When I first met Dr Ed I had problems bending, and worst of all I could hardly move my neck. I was a total painful wreck.Ed takes a very holistic approach, encouraging me to lose weight and work on different rehab exercises to reinforce the manipulations and adjustments he made.Here I am some three months on, I weigh a lot less, I have incredible flexibility in my lower back and can now touch my toes and, best of all. I have full flexibility of my neck.Eds holistic approach really works, he is very approachable and easy to chat about things with.One caveat, Ed knows when you haven't done your exercises so don't cheat. :)I cannot thank him enough for the massive improvements in my health and his encouraging me to make little changes for a healthier long term lifestyle.

I saw Edo in March and he was so informative regarding my spinal issues. I have had many treatments from him over the past few months and feel so much better and have more movement and less pain. He provides exercises for clients to help with strengthening muscles which is all part and parcel of chiropractic healing. I would recommend going to see him anytime.
