R. H.

Following a flare up of an old injury, I struggled at the start of the year with considerable lower back and neck pain. After a thorough assessment and initial treatment by Steven, the pain eased significantly after my first session. A further two treatment sessions, alongside strengthening exercises to practice at home, resulted in being almost completely pain free. Cannot recommend Steven and his ChiroProActive team highly enough!

10/10 - Steve is the best healthcare professional I have met after 7 years, in 4 different countries, trying to find solutions to my lower back problems. Thorough and meticulous, Steve spent a considerable amount of time understanding my issues, across my whole body (not just where I feel pain) and understanding my day-to-day life, to not only provide pain relief on the spot with releases, a massage gun and acupuncture, but also with home exercises with movements that translate into my day-to-day life. After a bad flare-up in October, I turned to private healthcare for the first time. I was diagnosed with scoliosis and degenerative disc disease when I turned 18 (7 years ago). Steve asked questions about both conditions, but also my other injuries, identifying relationships with previous injuries to my ankle, knee, and general tightness in my neck all being related via the spine, lower back and hip. He is the first professional who systematically looked at my body from my head to my toes, prescribing exercises and treatments for all parts of my body. Being a student, transitioning to private healthcare was a difficult decision financially, but worth it overall. Before seeing Steve at ChiroProActive, I was mainly seeing an Osteopath and occasionally a traditional Chinese doctor for acupuncture, while waiting for the NHS to provide me with a physio (again). Steve has essentially condensed all this down, saving me money and time. The exercises I get given to work on at home have been more effective than those prescribed by my NHS physio. The 'releases' and deep tissue massage, in addition to the acupuncture, seem to work better overall when delivered coherently by one professional than when previously split across two different professionals (Osteopath and acupuncture). Finally, Steve is passionate about his discipline and has made many references to 'research' and 'literature'. This personally gave me great confidence, as he is clearly engaged in understanding developments in his field and giving modern forms of treatment. Overall, I cannot recommend Steve and ChrioProActive enough!

I cannot recommend Steven enough. I was literally carried in here with the most excruciating pain and spasms, in my spine which was taking my breath away. Within 3 sessions over 4 days and one day of complete rest, Steven had me on my feet by session 4. After session one, he even rang the next day to ask me how I was. I mean the service was incredible. His professionalism and expertise is second to none. Two weeks later now and he is continuing to help me to full recovery, conservatively. He takes it at my pace, is so reassuring, and honestly, he really is incredible at what he does. If you need a chiropractor, Steven is your guy. Amazing. And thank you, Steven. You got me through a very very scary time.

I have experienced the services of many medical practitioners over the years of having various ailments and injuries including chronic back pain and more recently foot pain. Steven is ahead of the field and stands out significantly as a true professional practitioner. I had struggled and suffered with my condition for a long time and had almost lost hope of any recovery. Steven’s holistic approach considers the entire kinetic chain in his assessment of your movement and he is able to pin point with amazing accuracy what is truly going in with the body. His analysis of my movement enabled him to give a diagnosis and prognosis for recovery. I am delighted to have made significant progress in a reasonable timeframe due to the advice and guidance Steven has provide me to work on at home plus his careful treatment. He has handed me back the active life I had and more. I cannot recommend this professional practitioner highly enough.

My appointment was with Struan who was amazing from start to finish. My assessment was great and he informed me each step of the way. I strained my neck and my movement was restricted. After my treatment with Struan I’ve come out feeling amazing I can move unrestricted!

I visited Steven with 3 chronic sport related injuries - knee, hip and shoulder. With initial assessment he took a detailed history of my injuries and then laid out a plan to get them resolved. After listening to his plan and following to them to the tee, I saw some initial progress. However after some time the progress slowed. Steven tweaked a few things and again I began to see progress. The progress made in just a couple of months from seeing Steven has been really amazing. Can't recommend him enough.

M. M.

Steven was really knowledgeable and explained why I had the troubles I do. Really opened my eyes to causes and things to work on. The spine adjustments felt amazing and tension free. Highly recommended.

L. K.

Having sessions with Steve over the last few months have exceeded my expectations. His approach to my melting pot of painful issues in my neck, back and hip has been second to none. Steve as well as being professional, extremely knowledgeable and friendly, really listens and tailors each session, while empowering you to take control of your own rehab. With the individualised exercises my initial thought was you can't teach an old dog new tricks... I was wrong!! They are so specific it's like a choregraphy. I'm delighted to have found Steve, and will continue to work with him without any hesitation. Highly recommend!!

Having been a customer for a long time, I've received invaluable treatment from the whole team. Most recently, I took advantage of the sports therapy massage from Martin. It was an intense session, but at no time did I feel uncomfortable. The next and subsequent days left me feeling much better. I've booked in for a follow up session and looking forward to seeing how Martin can help me improve my performance and achieve my goals.

It was a few years ago I went for a session with Steven I was getting really bad sciatica and after a couple of good back,neck and shoulder cracks a few rolling exercises and stretches plus he recommended some home exercises I had no sciatica problems

First, I booked an appointment with Dr Steven and explained my back issues and pelvis pain. After two sessions, I haven't only felt that my pain is gone, but also my core muscles got stronger especially abdominal ones. I also found his training exercises that he gave me really tangible in my core stability. Not to mention his lifting tips and focusing on my posture during gym and sitting exercises and that corrected many mistakes and made me stronger. I know I'll miss his appointments after leaving Glasgow.

I went to Steve initially with a niggle in my shoulder that was impacting my weight training and causing pain down my arm. After an extremely thorough consultation, he was able to identify the cause of this, as well as some other issues I was experiencing like frequent headaches and jaw pain from grinding my teeth. With just three sessions, my headaches are gone and my shoulder feels great! There is even a visible different in the alignment of my back and shoulders! I really appreciate how Steve took the time to explain every test and treatment he performed, as well as adjusting the rehab exercises for my level of fitness and training. He also made sure that if something was to flare up again, I would know how to address this myself without having to go straight back to see him. Highly recommend!

G. M.

Experienced back pain for the majority of my adult life. Visited Steven over the course of 4 months and my daily life has changed dramatically. Routine daily activities like changing a bed are no longer a struggle. Life has improved tenfold. Would definitely recommend Chiroproactive to anyone experiencing difficulty!

K. R.

I have a back problem that became worse with the lockdown. Orthopedic doctors and physiotherapists just suggested exercising without being any more specific. At chiroproactive I got a thorough assessment, given specific exercises targeted to my problem and hands on massage gave instant relief helping to further improve. Strongly recommended to everyone!!

C. M.

Went to see Steve back in June with a back issue that flared up again after returning to work from Maternity Leave. Steve is very thorough and after a short course of appointments he had the initial pain and discomfort addressed for me. I have moved on to maintenance now and through exercises at home and an appointment every 8 weeks I am pain free and building up the strength in my weaker areas. Definitely recommend.

R. M.

There are simply no words to describe the feeling of being free from pain. With a history of back issues, I had seen many chiros and physios for over 12 years, but nothing had seemed to work for more than a few hours/days of pain relief. However, over the past 18 months my back pain was so severe (SI joint dysfunction) that I decided to try using a Chiro once again. This time, it was with Steve Collins. It was and a totally different experience. Unlike a typical chiropractor, Steve does not start manipulation work to promote temporary relief. Even though I am a cynic by nature, I continued to place my trust in his advice, consistently asking him to reconfirm that "it is possible for me to be pain free". Like I said, words cannot describe what it feels like to now be pain free. If you are suffering with back pain, please go and visit Steve. If there is one word to describe Steve's approach it would be "bespoke", and if there were two words to describe YOU as Steve's patient, it would need to be "trust and commitment".

I cannot recommend Steve more highly. He is a dedicated professional who is excellent at what he does. What sets Steve apart from others is his commitment to finding long-term solutions to problems rather than simply treating the symptoms. He created a rehab programme for me in order to ease my pain in the long-term. In my case he has communicated with my gym pt and my GP in order advance my progress. I am very grateful for all of his help and support.

I first saw Steve about this time last year, I'd injured my thigh playing football and needed some expert help. From my first visit my experience with ChiroProActive was excellent. At every stage Steve explained the problem and outlined my options giving the reasoning and the outcomes I could expect. At first I struggled with the at-home exercises but Steve talked me through it and made sure I got it right. After three visits I saw a huge improvement and was back to playing sports at the same level in a couple of months. Steve gave me tips to prevent similar injuries in future and using his advice I've kept myself healthy. I recommend ChiroProActive to anyone who's experienced an injury to their muscles.

I went to Steven with a pain in my lower back which was moving down my leg during bending over or sitting down and performing daily tasks. This pain was also preventing me from going to the gym and performing any kind of physical exercise. After the first visit I noticed within two / three days that the pain was significantly lower. I no longer had any pain as before and could now go through the day without any bother. I would highly recommend Chiroproactive to anyone who has any pain similar to what I have described.

The nature of my work requires very long sittings. Steven Colins is a magician. I had been suffering from burning thighs and hips pain for at least 10 years now. I tried almost everything - be it Physiotherapist, Neuro specialist, sports massage etc but nothing worked. My friend recommended Steven Colins, ChiroProActive. I could see the difference right from the first appointment only. Now it is over 2 months and 3 appointments and my pain has gone down by 80% at least. I am so much thankful to Steven. Steven has given me a new life. God bless you, Steven !

Pain free... After many years of constant aggravating back pain due to a silly injury, Steven sorted me right out. Like most things, there is no quick fix but with sessions, practical sound advice and time my back is properly sorted. Have been pain free for over a year now, back at the gym and have no worries about any activities affecting my back - many thanks 10/10

From the initial evaluation to where I am now two months later I can whole heartedly say Steven's work with me as a chiropractor has been thorough, significant and very professional. I have had a neck problem for 7+ years from falling down stairs. I have undergone NHS physiotherapy amongst other things, all of which have proven unsuccessful in providing me with any significant relief from my neck, head and jaw pain which can at times be deeply burdensome. Through manipulation, deep massage, posture adjustment, bespoke prescribed exercises, acupuncture and more, I have slowly been seeing measurable proof in my progress. I came to Steven initially with problems lifting things ( particularly heavy things ) over my head and have been watching my numbers increase in lifts such as over-head press. My pain is reduced to tolerable levels and improving. I have also been patiently guided to an understanding that to truly remedy a problem I have endured for almost a decade that I must patiently and diligently fix damaging postures and behaviours that have reinforced the damaged tissue around my neck. If you're looking for a practical, methodical and truly care-oriented approach to your physical problems then this is the place to go.

I couldn't be happier that I made the decision to book an appointment here. Even after the initial consultation I felt so much better knowing that I could take control of my pain and it wasn't something I had to live with. After only 2 further appointments I feel so much stronger and confident that my recovery and long term health is in my own hands. The exercises are manageable and effective. I can't rate this service highly enough, I have recommended it to everyone I have spoken to! It has given me my old self back which is priceless!!!

Steven was a life saver! I was on Holiday from the US and my back seized up where I was unable to walk! He worked with releasing my muscles and showed me some exercises to strenthen and release the back. He is the best and most knowledgeable Chiropractor I have ever seen. I wish I was able to continue using him in the States.

I overextended throwing a punch while training 3 years ago, it seemed to clear up after a week, but after bending down to pick something up, something else in my back went pop. During the subsequent 3 years I had seen a Physio's (private & NHS), as well as an osteopath. I had a preconception that Chairopractors were on par with witch doctors and I wasn't going to waste my time or money on them. I started to get pretty bad pains in my back, so in desperation I thought i'd give a Chairopractor a shot so I googled and found one with good reviews, found Steve. He listened to my story and didn't just write my pain/discomfort off as due to my desk job / posture, he pointed out the problem areas without any indication from me and also picked up on a weakness in my leg from an operation I had over 15 years ago. Within a few days I was sleeping better and I feel like my body is improving as each week goes by. I would seriously recommend anyone experiencing pain or discomfort with their body to book an initial consultation, you won't be disappointed.

I booked an appointment here after having hip problems - Struan was incredibly helpful and worked out pretty quick what was wrong. Only three appointments and I already feel so much better! As a dancer it is very important that I recover properly and quickly so I can continue dancing without injuring myself further - Struan is very good at what he does and also very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended! Thank you Struan!

D. M.

Very impressed with Steve, genuinely nice bloke and has helped my back neck problems. Explains everything and I feel confident that I am getting my moneys worth, (previous chiropractic experiences have been very different!) highly recommended!

After a couple of weeks of constant annoying pain on my hip, Struan sorted me right out. Straight, after my first session with him, the pain is gone and my hip feels great. I would really like to thank Struan for his great job. Cheers!!!

H. S.

The best about. His only tools are his hands which is amazing. And of course his massage gun. I’ve been to a lot of chiros and he is one of the best. Very details and meticulous

J. M.

Excellent Steve is ace at keeping me comfortable - I have a really bad back.

C. M.

Steve is excellent. He is to the point and a skilled listener. Very good treatments, advice and exercises.

C. M.

Steve did more than just fix my shoulder. He helped me identify how I could prevent the problem returning.

B. B.
