Having had back pain off and on for 10 years, I can not say enough kind words about both Matt & Naomi and the treatment they have given me. Within one session, my back is aligned and the follow up soft tissue work has solidified the recovery for me. The whole process of booking, consultation etc was so easy and I felt like they always had what was best for me at the centre of everything. Couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you 🙌🏼

I was referred to Active therapy south by a sports therapist I had seen for a sports injury (or so I thought). She thought I would benefit from treatment with a chiropractor. After one visit I felt as if I was freer and moved easier. I now go every month for a session to make sure I maintain that feeling. The practice is easy to find at the Littledown Centre. I would recommend Active Therapy South and their services to anyone.

M. R.

I cannot recommend Matt and Naomi at Active Therapy South more highly. I went to them with a painful achilles injury, as well as a hip flexor strain. After an initial consultation with Matt, I had an appointment with Naomi to realign my spine and re-establish better balance and symmetry. I then had a session of deep tissue massage with Matt. I am now back playing football 5 weeks after the hip flexor injury and less than 2 weeks after the treatments. Both Matt and Naomi are incredibly professional, respectful, knowledgeable and friendly. They give you as much information and science as you want and need. Thank you Matt and Naomi.

I suffered from back pain for years and never thought it would get much better but thanks to Naomi and Matt my back has never been better. In fact I can now do a burpee when I could barely bend down to pick up a laundry basket previously. I would highly recommend their services.

D. W.

Excellent service, excellent therapy and excellent value! Very friendly and I would highly recommend (and have) to friends and family. Could barely walk due to a back problem and after just a couple of sessions it was like I'd never had a problem!

T. R.

I saw Naomi for some chiropractic treatments, I found her very knowledgeable and friendly and I felt very relaxed attending the sessions. Would highly recommend - and have done to friends and family

K. P.

After months of limping In pain when I walked anywhere, my friend recommended Naomi and Matt. With their combined therapy over only four appointments I am pain free and feel so much more flexible! They are both highly professional, I immediately felt at ease. Best of all no hard clicking, crunching & pulling around, which I don’t like. Their approach is gentle but strong, with lots of helpful advice and aftercare. Don’t suffer in pain, please go and see them, you will be so pleased you did, I am.

My second visit to Matt was just as successful as my first, four years ago. This time I had a hamstring injury which had stopped me running and I therefore booked an appointment with Matt. He was quick to diagnose the problem and explained that I needed chiropractic work before he could do his work. He therefore booked me into his wife, Naomi, who was amazing. After one session I could tell things were already getting better and following that I had two sessions with Matt and..I was completely cured! I'm already running again and I can't praise Matt and Naomi enough. Great people, highly knowledgeable and professional, and exceptional value. Many thanks to Matt and Naomi. I suffered with a shoulder pain for months, even after a month's painkillers from the doctor. It still didn't shift. One chance meeting with Matt at Queens Park changed everything. He identified the problem immediately and after one hour's massage it was clear that he had made a huge difference. In fact, I could not believe that the pain had gone! matt is very pleasant and very knowledgable and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I still can't believe he solved my shoulder problem so efficiently. Throughly recommend.

A. L.

These two are amazing, professional, knowledgable and super friendly. They provide best physio therapy service in my experience. Highly recommended!

Wow what a fantastic experience - I discovered Matt and Naomi following acute shoulder pain and after one treatment from Naomi and a follow up visit to Matt, the pain has completely gone. What impressed me so much was their combined knowledge of the bodies anatomy, pinpointing the of cause and effect of the pain giving almost instant relief. Their combined approach was immensely refreshing and their flexible hours appointment times meant that I was able to get back to full physical fitness instantly. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you Naomi and Matt

I met Naomi and Matt at the YogaFit Retreats in Ibiza this year April 2019 and am thankful I did! I had a session with Naomi on the first day of the retreat and felt the difference immediately. I have been struggling with shoulder pain, misaligned hips and all of the other complaints that a regular gym go-er gets and was in pain! I also wanted to be able to enjoy the retreat and not feel restricted from certain classes... After Naomi's session, I then saw Matt 2 days later for a session and I left feeling the best I have after any treatments I've had in years. I've tried various treatments and massages for my injuries over time and none have had such lasting results! I'm back at the gym again after the retreat and still feeling the positive impact after the sessions and aftercare advice on stretching provided. Thank you Matt and Naomi, it was MY pleasure meeting you both and look forward to seeing you at the next YogaFit Retreats! Sharlene

My back was diagnosed as a rotating pelvis immediately, the chiropractic treatment I received worked straight away and I was able to move without pain, I have a regular checkup with Naomi to correct any rotation that may have occurred, this gives me peace of mind as well as the confidence to carry on with my sports activities. On the recommendation of Naomi I have a monthly massage with Matt, this is usually the legs as I do a lot of running but has included the glutes and shoulder. I know that if I have a problem Matt will sort it. I find that both treatments complement each other and with the professional approach by Matt and Naomi it’s a win win.

S. B.

I recently had a treatment from Naomi while at Yogafit retreat in April this year. I have had back problems for a few years and was experiencing pain and my balance was affected. Naomi’s treatment made a real difference, I had a reduction in pain and my balance improved! I was able to continue to participate in the classes for the rest of the week, really pleased.

J. H.

I saw Matt at at a recent Yogafit retreat in Ibiza. I had an ongoing problem with my hamstring. After my first session my discomfort went from 8 to a 4. I was able to carry on with all the classes that were on offer at the retreat and then after the second session I was able to have movement in my hamstring that I hadn’t had for over 6 months. I was truly amazed. Both Matt and Naomi are both genuinely lovely people and are excellent at their jobs. Thank you Matt and Naomi

When I went to see Naomi and Matt I was in quite a bit of pain and about to move to a new city so there was not a lot of time for treatment. They managed to schedule three sessions at very short notice which have done absolute wonders for me. From not being able to walk down stairs from knee pain to being 90% pain free in just under three weeks is nothing short of miraculous. Naomi and Matt really know what they are doing which, sadly, is more than you can say for most GPs when it comes to issues such as misalignment. I cannot recommend them enough.

B. M.

I had a lot of pain in my back, shoulders and neck due to my scoliosis. My movement in my right arm was very limited and the pain in my shoulders kept me awake at night. My whole back was constantly tense and I never felt comfortable. A few sessions with Naomi worked wonders. I can sit and walk again for longer than 10 minutes without shuffling around due to discomfort. My back and shoulder pains dont keep me awake anymore and my movement has improved so much. I lift weights to strenghten my muscles and I made such great progress and feel overall so much better. If i do get any back pains now I can handle them much better, Im not tensing up like a stiff board anymore and Naomi has shown me a few small but effective excersise to maintain my flexibility until the next appointment. I now schedule regular visits every 6 weeks because the appointments have improved my quality of life immensly.

I saw Naomi whilst at a Yogafit retreat in Ibiza last month as I had lower back pain. Within minutes she told me one leg was an inch and a half longer than the other caused by misalignment issues with my pelvis and ligaments, which she said were also affecting my balance. She used a tool (forget the name) which I think opened up the ligaments? Balance and back significantly better. Will be paying her another visit when back in Ibiza later in the year! Other guests on the retreat recommended Matt for his deep tissue work.

LOCKDOWN - AMAZING RESULTS I met Naomi & Matt a year ago in Ibiza and was blown away with their knowledge, treatments and just how much they care about each and every patient. Fast forward a year, we are in lockdown, I am in LONDON, they are in BOURNEMOUTH. In February I sustained a shoulder injury, I’d attended one physio session and was due back for another, then lockdown came... My shoulder was extremely painful, waking me up at night and i was unable to raise my arm even close to shoulder height. I rang Matt and he and Naomi arranged for us to do a virtual assessment via FaceTime. Naomi assessed the problem and gave me some initial exercises and then Matt suggested some further exercises and tools to help. After just three days the pain was considerably reduced, no pain waking me up at night. We are now working on my mobility which has increased by approx 70% in two weeks. I don’t know how I’d have got through lockdown without them. I am truly amazed at how they’ve helped me, so if anyone is experiencing pain, give them a call, I’m sure they can help you wherever you are.

I've been seeing Matt and Naomi for a couple of years now. I suffered for many years with back and shoulder issues ever since a bad car wreck. After seeing many different chiropractors, none of which had helped, I was ready to call it quits and just deal with my pain as best I could. A chance meeting lead to me taking up the offer from Naomi of a quick consultation. She quickly identified the cause of my pain and suggested a treatment plan, with the aim of getting me back in the gym in 3 months. With nothing to lose I gave it a shot. Needless to say she worked wonders, combined with Matts massage treatment I have gained mobility and pain free exercise that I previously only dreamed of. Thanks to the both of them I have a far better quality of life now and can get on with every day tasks and not be in continuos pain. Highly recommended

Z. L.

I have been treated by both Matt and Naomi several times over the past couple of years. Having suffered for many years with back pain the combined treatments with Naomi and then Matt resulted in being pain free and in a position to now notice a flare up and resolve it quickly. Recently having had horrible knots in my shoulder matt has worked his magic again and again there is relief again. Thank you both

I have had a bad back all my life, I have a curvature of my spine and sought chiropractic assistance as a boy. It never made much difference so stopped going. A couple of years ago I had an accident when at the top of my loft ladder the bracket snapped and I fell, in the process I sustained a compression fracture of my spine. I decided to try and get some assistance with it and contacted Naomi at Active Therapy South. I explained everything and she checked me over, she could see I was imbalanced and was able to perform adjustments that really benefitted my back and neck. Naomi devised a plan with a person trainer I used and together they worked at treating my back. In no time at all my back felt remarkably better. I could always notice a difference after visiting Naomi, which I couldn't with other Chiropractors. I have recommended them to several colleagues and one is currently undergoing treatment and also massively impressed with the treatment you receive at ATS.

S. G.

Having suffered with post spinal surgery complications and pain for years, both Matt and Naomi were able to diagnose and treat a number of areas giving me considerable pain relief and better spinal alignment and functionality. They are both very thoughtful and intuitive with regards to diagnosis and treatment which I very much appreciated having seen various specialists over the years to no avail. I highly recommend them for their skills, knowledge and integrity.

C. W.

I came across active therapy by complete chance and I am so glad I did! I had neck and back pain caused by my occupation and it was really getting me down, after the first few treatments with Naomi and Matt I could feel the difference and I am now at the stage where I go for maintenance. I am continually amazed how after describing my symptoms they always get to the exact point which is causing the problem! They are both super knowledgeable, I would highly recommend active therapy south!

S. K.

I have received treatment for multiple sports injuries and also for rehabilitation after some extensive foot surgery. Friendly, Professional, Reliable, with great incite into unique and challenging medical issues. After being fixed from various adventurous mishaps on several occasions, finding that I am gaining mobility whilst losing any stiffness or pain brought great relief and makes their unique business and teamwork priceless! Thank you Matt and Naomi for your hard work and dedication to your trade. I would highly recommend both of you to all! 5 stars

C. F.

After suffering from back pain for a long time I decided to visit Matt and Naomi. They are both extremely knowledgeable and talked me through my back issues. After a few sessions and a good aftercare programme I felt a huge difference. Highly recommended

S. D.

Many thanks ! What a team ... certainly understood my problems.... Naomi for the initial chiro problems which were rectified efficiently with the help of Matt with sports massage . I go to see Matt every 5-6 weeks for a massage now to maintain... He keeps a close eye on my form and will suggest a game plan either involving Naomi / Matt can't speak highly enough

After suffering with lower back pain for several years and thinking I would just have to live with it a friend recommended Active Therapy South. I had reached the point where I could not attempt to play golf without first taking Ibuprofen and rubbing in Voltarol. For the last three weeks I have played without any medication - or pain of any kind. I cannot recommend Naomi (Chiropractor) and Matt (Sports massage)highly enough. They are both very knowledgeable and skilful and I think it is their ability to combine treatments that makes them so successful.

I met Matt of Active Therapy at the Bournemouth Bay Run in April 2017, giving participants massages after the event, and took his card. Later in the month I signed up for a charity cycle from Bournemouth to Paris, and commenced training. As time went on, issues started to arise; I felt pain in my lower back and knees, and this gradually worsened as time went on. I had the bike professionally fitted by a reputable dealership, so realised the weakness was physical and not from poor equipment. With 6 weeks to go until the event, it got to the point I could no longer withstand the pain I was suffering and it was becoming prohibitive to my training, so I called up Active Therapy, who advised a consultation with Naomi, their chiropractor and one of the partners of the business. Naomi diagnosed a previous injury within my back, causing my hip to drop on one side (quite prominently which she interestingly displayed with a photo of my feet being misaligned), causing tension through my IT bands and subsequently pain through my knees. She went about resetting my hips, and then recommended an appointment with Matt to deal with the soft tissue problems, caused by this skeletal problem in my hips. I had several sessions with Matt, and whilst the pain improved slightly, I became somewhat concerned I would be unable to complete the impending cycle, particularly on one training ride when I only managed 6 miles before the pain quickly became an issue. I spoke with Matt, who advised seeing Naomi again after recognising my hip has once again dropped, and she subsequently realigned it and once again I commenced the soft tissue work. This time, I felt real progress being made. The issues I was having within my knees in particular faded to the point I felt confident in at least trying the ride. They taught me how to properly strap my knees, gave me a comprehensive stretching and strengthening regime to complete daily in the weeks running up to the event (all instructed and recorded in a phone app so they could track and log progress also) and I undertook the ride. I was surprised to feel no pain in my knees at all during the ride, which was 316 miles over four days, including some steep climbing work and fast sections with some experienced riders. Upon speaking with Matt on my return, he couldn’t have been happier for me and the progress I had made. I genuinely would not have been able to complete the ride without their help and guidance. Their cohesive approach to the treatment was logical; all muscles are attached to the skeleton, therefore they are naturally reliant upon each other and both need to be looked at should an issue arise. The analogy used was changing a car tyre (muscular) without ensuring the tracking (skeletal) on the wheel is correct; you need to address both for a proper, comprehensive solution. It was important to trust the process I was undertaking with them, and that the solution in my case wasn’t going to happen within just one or two sessions, but I felt my confidence rewarded as we got their eventually as they said we would. I have now signed up for further challenges next year, and will be continuing to see Matt and Naomi as needed. I would highly recommend them to anyone having physical issues. Their professionalism, knowledge and results really do speak for themselves, and they’re both friendly people to chat too which also helps! Thank you both, I can’t recommend you enough.

I've been having treatment from both Matt & Naomi in recent weeks and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Each clearly has an excellent knowledge of their field and outlined clear goals and timelines throughout the treatment course. Both yielded great improvements.

R. A.

Naomi and Matt have provided me with a highly effective, pain-free, professional service. I suffer with numerous shoulder, back, glute and wrist problems as a result of intensive exercise and playing the drums. There treatments are invaluable in keeping me active and very noisy!

S. R.

I met Matt on a yoga fit holiday in Ibiza and told him about the pain I had been having for a long time in my neck and shoulder. He used trigger point massage therapy to release the pain and I felt relief immediately. I only wish I lived near to Bournemouth as I would happily see him again

M. S.

Matt and Naomi are fantastic, they solved my headache problems as well as sorting my back out at very short notice. They are both very kind and empathic, and I would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you.

E. M. B.

Met the lovely Naomi today at the FitLivingUK festival in Bournemouth. She was very knowledgeable and confident in her practice. Definitely recommended 👍🏻🙂

F. B.

I have had regular sports massages over many years but I have never had anything as effective as the treatment given by Matt. Really focusing on key trigger points has made a significant impact on troublesome areas.

G. H.

I visit the physiotherapist here and so does my wife. Really great guys who know their stuff. They've recently done away with the voice alert that crowed at you to check you've paid for parking, good job!

R. B.

This is the best money ive spent this year. Invest in yourself, you're worth it. Results are nothing short of amazing, and in such quick time. Life-changing to be honest for the price of a meal. Wonderful, honest and professional people too. You'll enjoy going but enjoy the result more. They really are that good

I. C.

Very professional team. I have really enjoyed the initial treatment by Naomi and will be booking a further appointment.

S. S.

Great service, really helpful and knowledgeable. Can't recommend enough 👍🏼

T. T.

The clinic is clean, staff very friendly and knowledgeable

M. T.

Fantastic service. Highly recommend. They treat the underlying cause.
