We have been working with Gareth Rhys for the past 18 months leading into the London 2012 Olympics. In this time we have seen the best training record to date, with personal best scores being achieved in competition and time lost to injury at its lowest ever. Gareth’s approach to his work is both meticulous and thorough, leaving no stone un-turned to ensure results are achieved. We have received a truly world class service which has enabled us to qualify our athletes to compete in London 2012. We look forward to working alongside Gareth to help produce successful Olympians of the future.

What our Olympians say about us.

Bryony Page,

World and European Trampoline Champion, and Olympic Medalist

Gareth is a world class chiropractor who has helped recover and improve my physical health over many years now and our sessions together have made a significant positive impact on my training during the Rio and Tokyo Olympic cycles. He always listens carefully to me when I try to explain the different aches, pains and functional movement issues I am experiencing that are affecting my training and/or daily life. He takes care in explaining the different solutions, exercises or chiropractor manipulation techniques we could follow, but the decision is always discussed together so I feel comfortable and happy with the plan. It is obvious Gareth has a vast knowledge base and is an expert in his field yet he always manages to explain things in an interesting or funny way that I can understand, which makes it much easier to discuss the choices together and helps build confidence in my progress. He is a vital person on my support team who goes above and beyond to help me be in the best physical health I can be and make those marginal gains in elite sport. - 2022

I just wanted to give some positive feedback after my recent new patient assessment and subsequent treatment with Charlotte Moran. I have suffered with lower back problems for around 30 years and have managed this with regular chiropractic appointments. I moved to your clinic as the one I have used locally for many years is closed for refurbishment during the pandemic. I will be honest, my initial plan was to return to my practice once they reopened but after my experience with Charlotte I have decided to remain with BackActive even though you are a 30 minute drive away as opposed to 5 minutes to my current practice. Sometimes it can feel as though a chiropractor is following a recipe of treatment but I got the impression that Charlotte was treating me as an individual with my own particular issues and the adjustments were targeted specifically to address my problems.

She is very knowledgeable and explains clearly the reasons why I am presenting as I do. In addition, I also felt very Covid-safe in the clinic environment and look forward to my future appointments.

Testimonials

I have use Rotherham Chiro for around 3 years after years of other alternative therapies such as physio and acupuncture, I can honestly say that the clinic has provided me with the most relief for my back pain and mobility issues . Would recommend this practice to anyone suffering back pain which they are unable to get relief from.

My name is Nick Robinson Baker and I am a triple European and World finalist and double Olympic finalist.

I have been competing at the top of my game now for a number of years and as an elite athlete have needed a lot of support along the way.

About 4 months before the London 2012 Olympics I gained a lot of issues with my back, which as you can imagine so close to the games, was not where I needed to be at that point in time. I had heard of a certain someone through other athletes and also my coach and fellow diver Monique Gladding that Gareth Rhys was the man to see.

Gareth has a very relaxed way of treating you and always talks you through every movement he makes so you completely understand his work. I would like to say he has magic hands as I was struggling with my back quite a lot and Gareth really helped make it the best it can be and also helped maintain sustainability up to and throughout the Olympics.

I owe a huge thank you to Gareth as without his help and hard work, my Olympics would not have been as amazing as it was and I wouldn’t have competed as well as I did

I would recommend anyone with any issues to go and see Gareth as I am sure his magic hands will work on you too

From the moment you walk in staff are pleasant and helpful - text message reminders come in handy. Staff in treatment rooms always have time to listen and carry out required treatment. I have previously visited similar practices but this is the only one in 15 years that has got to the true root of my problem and corrected it. I cannot praise the people enough. Always a pleasant experience with the correct results when you leave. I have recommended to many friends and they all come back when required. Thank you.

Very friendly staff which puts people at ease, when people first come they are often unsure so the staff need to give them a friendly greeting, I’m very satisfied with the treatment I’m having. I have sat often with back ache now I don’t after years of using a heat pad during the evening.

G. Clark

I’ve been using Gareth Rhys for Chiro for the last 10 years he’s made my pain in my back easier so I can carry on with my job. I would highly recommend it to anyone. The staff are always helpful and friendly and help whenever possible.
