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.

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.

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.

"Gareth Rhys has played a major part in my London 2012 campaign. He has been integral to me qualifying for the Olympics and without him I would not have been able to complete the workload required to compete on a World Class stage. When other practitioners had given up hope and were unable to gain results, Gareth found new and innovative ways to enable me to train at an optimum level and to achieve some of the best results of my career. I have found Gareth’s approach to be logical and methodical, giving sound reasoning for all aspects of my treatment. It has been an absolute pleasure to have Gareth within my support team, he is unquestionably the best practitioner I have ever worked with. Thank you x

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 thankyou 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

Over the past few years I have tried every alternative therapy as well as physio and treatments from my doctor. I have had severe pains in my hip and leg. I think Lone Kristensen is fantastic. I am free of pain after attending her clinic. I think she is brilliant at her profession i have complete faith and trust in her.
Mrs Joan Eyre
After over forty years of having back pain and also a a lot of persuasion, I decided to make an appointment with Lone Kristensen in Sheffield at the chiropractic centre and what a difference it has made. My back was x rayed first and Lone could identify where the problem was, after treatment i am free of pain. Lone is brilliant at her job.
A big Thank You

Used Rotherham Chiropractor for years now and I hae to say the are miracle workers. All staff are helpful and polite. Would definatley recommend them. All chiropractors are very professional and have healing hands.
Mike Beverley
As myself, my husband and daughter all use the clinic I think you can say that we get excellent treatment. I personally have been seeing Gareth since he came to Rotherham in 1993/94 so that speaks for itself.
Ruth Radford
I have been receiving treatment at this practice for over 15 years and am very happy with every aspect of the practice. Their knowledge is superb and the friendly manner really helps put you at ease immediately. Great facilities, parking too.
Thanks “Back Active” for keeping me mobile.
Pamela Rontree
Polite staff, very friendly offered me a cancellation slot. Sometimes appointments run late, Hygiene seems pretty good.
Maybe put some lockers in the changing rooms so you feel like you can leave stuff safe while having treatment also others can use cubicles.
Hannah Armitage
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.
David Kirk
I am very pleased with the treatment I receive and find the staff very pleasing, kind and very helpful.
A Askew
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.
M Allot
I have use Rotherham Chiro for around 3 years after years of other alternative therapies such as physio and accupuncture, 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.
Rob Watkinson
I have been very happy with the treatment that I have received Rob is always friendly and polite and explains what and why he is doing.
Andy Shearwood
I’ve been using this Chiropractors for 20 years on a 2 month rotation and it keeps me going. I am 76 and without it I would be in a bad way, it keeps me loose and able to play golf 2 times a week.
