Client Testimonials

Debra M – Tiptree
“I had been suffering with lower back pain on one side for over 10 years… I had an operation on my foot which meant I was required to wear a boot, however once I no longer had to wear the boot, nobody checked to see how this affected my back and I slowly started to get this uncomfortable pain…
I felt really slow and old. I was waking up 2-3 times in the night from being in pain. Whenever I moved in bed the pain was just horrendous, I was waking up in tears.
Since coming to VITAL Health I am no longer in pain and now sleeping through the night without pain which has made a massive difference!”

“My journey with VITAL Health over the past 8 weeks has been nothing short of life-changing.
After weeks of dedication and care from the team, I’ve not just overcome my shoulder pain that held me back but I’m now playing 18 holes!
Thanks to the unwavering support and expertise of the team, I’m back on the golf course, pain-free- and I even got to compete in an upcoming competition!I couldn’t be more grateful.”

“I actually look forward to coming here. The treatments feel so natural, and everyone here genuinely wants to help. It’s been a complete game-changer for me
I had continual neck and back pain. I tried everything, but nothing gave me more than temporary relief. I was desperate and willing to try anything at this point. I came in quite skeptical as I’d already tried so much but the results were incredible…
I’m now pain-free and that feels like an absolute revelation!
I can spend all day gardening again , something I thought I might never be able to do. I really believed this pain was going to be my life forever, but it’s not anymore, and that feels fabulous.”

Norma C – Tiptree
” Pain was holding me back from doing everything…
When I first came into VITAL Health I could barely even walk without crying.
I was playing bowls and felt the most terrible pain go through my back and neck. I carried on like it for 3 weeks and it just seemed to get worse… I couldn’t really do much.
I had been taking painkillers just to get by, hardly being able to stand or move my neck. After a few weeks I managed to stop the painkillers, it’s just been amazing what coming here has done for me…
You’ve given me my life back Thank you.“
