Suffering in Silence

Service

Quality

Value

I was suffering from severe back pain and it never crossed my mind (as a 32 year old) that my posture would be so bad and my spin out of alignment! I came to BodyWell not quite knowing what to expect but my consultation was a real eye opener but also immediately put me at ease. The team at BodyWell always offer a friendly smile and a warm welcome. They didn't just focus on my back pain they helped me look at my health and life style as a whole. I receive weekly spinal adjustments and deep tissue massage. I'm now swimming twice a week, I eat healthier than I ever have and I've lost weight. Oh I don't remember the last time I took a pain killer or lost a nights sleep due to my back! Cannot highly recommend the BodyWell group enough.

No more pain!

Service

Quality

Value

I’m not a religious person, but I thank God for the day I discovered Bodywell. I had reached the end of my tether with conventional medicine. After thirty frustrating years of trips to my GP, being treated one symptom at a time and given drug after drug to suppress each symptom, I was desperate. I was taking so many tablets every day but feeling worse than ever. All I wanted was for someone to look at the whole picture: to treat me holistically and get to the cause of the problems. Enter Dr Christian and his team. Finally, someone and something that made perfect sense. My life and health have changed dramatically since I started getting adjusted and my 8 year old son also now receives care. One of the things I love about Bodywell is that I know my son is in good hands. We both feel part of something very special. I know I’m a better mum now that I’m not in constant pain and dosed up on pills and my son will now have a happier, healthier future to look forward to. I can’t overstate how positive the effects on my life have been and I would recommend Bodywell to absolutely everyone, no matter what age. In fact, I would tell everyone to get checked now!

Back to basics

I was recommended to BodyWell by one of their patients. Unfortunately for me, I was too late to avoid hip replacement surgery but Dr Christian and his brilliant team have been able to realign my spine and the regular adjustments and deep tissue massages help to alleviate a lot of my pain. BodyWell's healthy and holistic approach at BodyWell is just common sense really and any questions are answered fully and with a smile.

More than I expected

Service

Quality

Value

BodyWell is so much more than a clinic it is more focused on the overall experience making it truely unique. They were able to find the root cause of my back pain that has been holding me back for years. They really care about each patient as an individual and are very willing to answer any queries, provide any information you need and encouraged me to really understand what was going on. This definitely helped speed up my recovery and allowed me to remain pain free since starting care there. It is almost like a second family. Once you try it once you will understand why it is such a reputable and trusted health care facility.

I am forever grateful.

Service

Quality

The Chiropractors and Spinal Specialists at BodyWell helped me when I was at my weakest and scheduled for surgery. The pain in my neck and arms was that bad I was desperate. Following Dr. Christian's advice, with a tailored programme that included specific spinal adjustments, bespoke physiotherapy and corrective exercises I could feel improvement within a few weeks and miraculously, by the time I was due to have surgery, I cancelled it because I felt so much better. Chiropractic and BodyWell near Whitstable have shown me a quality of life that I never knew was possible. I am forever grateful.

Happy Mummy

Service

Quality

Value

The first few months of my pregnancy were difficult with a sore back, fainting and sickness, but after attending the practice and having regular adjustments I really started to enjoy my pregnancy. It allowed me to be constantly on the move without even a niggle from my back. I had adjustments right up until the birth of my baby boy and the birth was easy and enjoyable (hard to believe, I know) and I honestly put this down to being well adjusted. My labour was only seven hours long, three of these I didn't feel much, and was able to go through without any pain relief. After the birth I made sure that BodyWell was the first place I took myself and my new baby to get our check ups and make sure we were both healthy. Thank you to the BodyWell team for taking care of me through a very special time.

Brilliant service

Service

Quality

Value

I've suffered with severe back pain for as long as I can remember, and have seen many doctors, physiotherapists and chiropractors, and not been given a clear answer as to what caused the pain or a long-term solution. After having my digital x-rays taken and explained to me at BodyWell, I was actually able to understand what was causing the pain. Now, having regular adjustments at BodyWell, I can feel such a difference in myself: my pain has massively decreased and I am able to do my job with a lot more ease and energy! I'd recommend BodyWell to everyone!

Heavy pain

Service

Quality

During the past few years, I have had to rely on BodyWell Group to help steer me through the inevitable problems derived from years of heavy cycling. They have helped me both physically and emotionally and helped me reinvent myself as a cyclist and re-install the enthusiasm which took a knock whilst suffering my injury. Thank you, what more can I say.

62 year old golfer

Service

Quality

Value

I am a 62 year old golfer and was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hips. I was on prescribed painkillers for a while from my GP, but this was not the solution I was looking for. I was extremely stiff, sore and ached across my hips, bottom and lower back so eventually booked myself in to The BodyWell Group to see Dr Christian Farthing, in the hope he could loosen me up a little and provide me with some light exercises to aid my recovery. Without seeing Christian I would not be in the place I am today and I would be, without a doubt, still suffering the pain and uncomfortable days I was experiencing

pain and stiffness

Service

Quality

Value

I had pain and stiffness down my back and neck, burning and tingling down my leg to my toe. Sometimes I would feel it in my arm down to my wrist. It would be especially aggravating while doing computer work. The stiffness is almost diminished and I feel more relaxed. Prior to coming for Chiropractic care I had tried Vioxx and Tylenol. The treatment I have received at The BodyWell Group has been excellent.

Landscape Gardener

Service

Quality

Value

I attended BodyWell clinic with chronic back pain 2 years ago. After a series of corrective treatments, a monthly consultation was suggested. I am a landscape gardener and often have neck and shoulder tension and stiffness in addition to my back pain. I look forward to my monthly consultation and I move more easily after an adjustment. I leave BodyWell Chiropractors relaxed and completely tension free. I am usually restored mentally and re-energised.

Back Injury

Service

Quality

Value

I damaged my back decorating and I was in extreme discomfort and close to tears sometimes. I booked in for a consultation and my x-ray showed my spine was totally out of alignment. On my first consultation there was a small amount of work to alleviate my immediate agony. I continued with a further 2 treatments that week and another 2 consultations for the following week, then one appointment for the next 5 weeks. I can happily say I feel almost completely better and my daily routine of recommended exercises are really helping now. My chiropractor was worked wonders on my spine and nervous system.

Bodywell will change your li

Service

Quality

Value

Together Dr Christian and his dedicated team continually work really hard to spread all the knowledge they have on how to be well (not just not sick, but WELL!) I have attended nutritional workshops that introduced me to ‘Juicing’ (which I love and has become part of my everyday life!) and also workshops on how to deal with stress. I feel having my regular chiropractic programme also helps me mentally as well as physically! Having alignment and balance within my body enables me to maintain optimal health because my body is able to function as it should be. If you are unsure then perhaps trial 6 weeks (this is what I initially did) I felt huge benefits after just 6 weeks so i knew i had to continue, I then signed up for the 12 months. I will now always be a member - I see it as similar to my gym membership, it’s just something I HAVE to have to maintain wellness! In my opinion, Bodywell should be a way of life for everyone from babies to the elderly! If you have pain or no pain, attending Bodywell regularly is a lifestyle choice. It is about feeling great and being the very best version of you!

I was having countless days off work with backache, and the thought of coping with pregnancy and how it was going to affect my back, terrified me. I decided to have regular check-ups with The Bodywell Group, itï¾’s been brilliant!!! I honestly never believed I could reach this point of health and wellbeing. Dr Christian is a pregnancy expert and has helped me see through my pain points and have a natural delivery. My son is now one, thank you so much!

Never had a bad experience

Unlike other chiropractors and osteopaths in Canterbury I have been to, I've never had a bad experience at The Bodywell Group. Excellent facilities, adequate parking and staff have been great. My Chiropractor was very capable and competent and I would definitely recommend this practice.

HORRIBLY revealing!

Service

Quality

Value

HORRIBLE. I have been in pain in my neck and shoulders for over 2 years, suffered with anxiety and struggling with work. My family were being affected and I was on all kinds of medication and I was exhausted! My neighbour starting seeing a Chiropractor at BodyWell and told me how they felt much better and no longer get migraines so I thought I would give it a go. It was horrible because I learnt for the first time that irritation to nerves in my neck has been the cause of my pain, stress, insomnia and anxiety. I was taking 4-5 tablets every day and getting no better. So I started treatment and within just 6 weeks I feel like I have my life back again and off all tablets! It is like I have had pressure taken off my shoulders, I can breathe easier and sleep all night. If you are looking for someone you can trust, to get rid of your problem and help you get really well, BodyWell would be the place I would send everyone. I really wish I knew about it 2 years ago.

I NEVER give anyone 10/10

Service

Quality

Value

I never give anyone 10/10 for a review, but BodyWell exceeded all my expectations. I was desperate, had a lot of pain in my neck and was suffering from horrible headaches. I left a message and one of their doctors called me out of hours on the weekend to provide me with some advice. They put my mind at ease and provided me an appointment during their lunch break on Monday. The staff were welcoming and were accommodating to all my needs, something that I had never experienced in health care before. Not an avid fan of going to the doctors, I really enjoy attending BodyWell. It is different. The place is very clean, has a lovely feel about it as soon as you walk through the door and focused on patient care. I have been going for the past 3 weeks and they have helped me far beyond what I anticipated, provide me with current health information and are always on time. It's early days but having never given 100% for service, I had to acknowledge this place for its service excellence. A place worth considering if you are seeking quality advice and service, that is affordable. The spinal corrections are gentle and don't hurt, the massage is excellent and the front desk staff always ready to help, no matter how busy they are. I have already arranged an appointment to have my eldest son checked as he plays impact sports like rugby and I don't want him ending up like me! One tip, call ahead of time as they are really busy. Recommend highly.

Very positive experience

Service

Quality

Better than what I anticipated compared to previous experience at my doctors. BodyWell is a lovely place with Chiropractors and staff who have really helped my wife and I. We have only positive things to say about this organisation. I couldn't get out of bed 3 weeks ago because my back was that bad. I rang around and BodyWell was the only place who followed through and did everything they promised. I have my own company and work in the service industry so I was grateful to be on the receiving end of such quality care.

Chiropractic at BodyWell got rid of my tension, heaches and anxiety gone

Service

Quality

Value

WOW! I have been getting neck pain and daily tension headaches, my GP said I was suffering with stress and anxiety and told me to take ibuprofen and antidepressants. A close friend at work told me about her Chiropractor, Dr. Christian, at the BodyWell Group near Canterbury. I had seen it on my way to Whitstable in the past but never thought it could help me. I went online and read some of the reviews and had to go along and see what chiropractic could do for me. As an Accountant, thinking I was going to live the rest of my life waking with headaches and feeling anxious, taking pills and having more visits to my GP was not the way I wanted to to live my life. Dr. Christian and his staff are friendly and his approach to health is so refreshing. He speaks a lot of common sense, but why did it take a visit to him to find out the cause of my pain, headaches and anxiety? I learned that Chiropractic addresses the cause of problems, whereas my GP was treating the symptom. Dr. Christian said he would have an x-ray and complete nerve tests to find out what was causing my problem and correct it. And he did, a bone out of place in my neck, causing pressure on nerves, upsetting the muscles, my heart rate and other parts of my body. I had a series of gentle adjustments to move the bone into its healthy and normal position. It was like a miracle. After my first adjustment I felt like all the tension was released. I could breathe easier and focus at work, my heart stopped racing, and have not had anymore headaches. I felt relaxed and my energy levels have gone through the roof. My work colleagues said I have been like a different person. I couldn't believe the difference, but I wished I learnt about BodyWell and chiropractic earlier. Don't wait around and waste time visiting your GP or anyone who just treats your pain or symptoms. I don't want anyone to feel like I did. You have to pay, but it is really affordable and I would have paid anything to feel better. Oh yes, I went to the 30 minute wellness seminar last Tuesday and learnt more about posture, the spine and how it affects my health. Definitely worth it.

Sciatica & Headache Relief

My wife went along for chronic sciatica and felt better quickly so I booked in for an assessment to see if the Chiropractic Doctors could help me. I had an examination, x-rays and scans. Have had 4 visits and got to say I have gone from having daily headaches to none at all in just a few weeks. I am a convert. I was a bit skeptical but the results speak for themselves. Glad I went. Recommended.

From slipped disk to healthy 43 year old

Service

Quality

I am turning 43 this year. I hurt my back a few years ago and was recommended surgery for a slipped disk. I was unable tto get out of bed, let alone think about going to work, but after getting fixed at BodyWell I was able to run the London Marathon in 2011. I have continued on a wellness programme, to keep my spine in great shape, improved my overall fitness and strength with the personal training at BodyWell, lost weight and am the strongest I have ever been. If you want to be healthier as you get older, this place is worth a look. I went for a "bad back" but learnt that BodyWell provided so much more. Cheers.

My GP Recommended Me

Service

Quality

Value

DISAPPOINTED in other chiropractors in Canterbury I sought advice from my GPs personal Chiropractor. I didn't realise she goes regularly to keep herself well. Technically she is meant to recommend to private practices, but she wanted to help me and said many of her colleagues have Chiropractic care to keep in good shape. I went to BodyWell and found them to be most helpful, I had x-rays and nerve scans and was informed from the outset about a course of care to rid me of my migraines and IBS. To cut a long story short, it has changed my life. Don't wait because the Doctors at BodyWell do not need a referral from your GP. If it is good enough for my GP, it is good enough for me. A personal thank you to all the staff, you are super!

This Chiropractor saved my 20th Wedding Anniversay!

Service

Quality

Value

My wife and I were about to go on holiday to Spain to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. On my way home just one week before leaving I was involved in a serious car accident, my car was written off and I was taken to the hospital. Very little was done, not even an x-ray to check if I had caused any damage. The following day I went to my GP and was sent home with ibuprofen and little to no advice. My neighbour had been seeing a chiropractor for a few weeks and recommended the BodyWell Group in Canterbury. They were efficient and caring, thorough and effective. I had an examination and x-rays and shocked to see the state of my spine from years of neglect and as a result of the accident. I am disappointed that the NHS let me down and very glad I discovered Dr. Christian and the team at BodyWell. They got me fixed very quickly so I am now enjoying my trip with my wife (I am sending this from our hotel in th sun!) and look forward to returning to Canterbury so I can get my health back on track. I couldn´t be more grateful.
