HEALTH and VITALITY CENTRE -best place- I had some excellent services. I warmly recommend massage sessions with Molly, who is very involved, friendly and professional. After the first session, you will definitely come back!! If you need a chiropractor, Sam is definitely a good choice , you wouldn't even think of. She is very patient, attentive to your problems and always smiling and welcoming.

I first went to Health and Vitality with a trapped nerve, which was causing great pain in my buttock/glute. I had some sessions with Alex (who was completely professional, polite and gave me great confidence in him) and he completely got rid of my pain. I then treated myself to a massage with Aaron. It was absoulutely brilliant. He is very knowledagable, had gone to the effort of reading my notes before my appointment and listened to what I wanted. I will definately continue to use the Health and Vitality centre. Also a shout out to the great receptionists. Always polite, welcoming, professional and efficeint. Great team!

I cannot express enough how amazing Sam has been in helping with my back problems. From the very first appointment, Sam's expertise and dedication were evident. She took the time to thoroughly understand my condition, patiently listening to my concerns and carefully assessing my situation. Her approach is both professional and compassionate, making me feel comfortable and well-cared for at every visit. Sam's chiropractic skills are exceptional. Her adjustments have significantly alleviated my pain and improved my mobility. She ensured that each session is both effective and efficient. She not only focuses on immediate relief but also provides valuable advice on exercises and lifestyle changes to prevent future issues. Throughout our appointments, Sam has been incredibly supportive and encouraging. Her positive attitude and genuine care for my well-being have made a tremendous difference in my recovery journey. I always leave feeling better and happy. If you are looking for a chiropractor who is truly dedicated to their patients' health and well-being, I highly recommend Sam. Her skill, kindness, and commitment have made a profound impact, and I am immensely grateful for her help in managing my back problems. Moreover, everyone at Vitality and Health Centre are incredibly kind and supportive. From the welcoming front desk staff to the practitioners, the entire team creates a warm and positive environment. Thank you so much for everything!

I came to the centre not really knowing what to expect. Following an assessment I was given a treatment plan which was explained clearly.

I have not been to the clinic for a while it had been to long. I took advantage of the offer for the massage with Aaron and the chiropractic Initial Consultation with Alex. Alex is brilliant he started me on my journey to relive me of my headaches and bad posture. My first treatment was GREAT I felt like I left feeling a lot more mobile and less pain also loosened my muscle that I have issues with for teeth grinding. The staff are lovely and so friendly. Highly recommended Thank you Alex see you next time.

I highly recommend Sam at the Health& Vitality centre. She is such a lovely person and so knowledgeable. I booked a course of treatment and it was so worth it. She has helped me understand my posture more and given me sone exercises to do at home which are easy to do and making a difference to my hip and back problems. All the staff are so warm and friendly and Sam has made a great effort to get to know me. I’ve also had a massage with a Arron and that was also a great treatment, in fact the best I’ve experienced for many years.

Absolutely fantastic little place. Sam who conducted my initial appointment and assessment today was more than just brilliant, 10 out of ten on her expertise professionalism and amazing depth of knowledge would highly recommend this place to anybody. For the first time in years I'm actually feeling confident about getting my flexibility and mobility back and that my friends is worth any money. If you're considering a chiropractor then I don't think you could do better than this lovely little place in Welwyn garden city.

I have been a member the Health and Vitality centre for monthly deep-tissue massages for some time, seeing Becky who is brilliant. Recently, I have also been helped by Sam, one of the highly qualified chiropractors for a shoulder injury. I have been most impressed by her knowledge and professionalism and the sessions are definitely helping. Thankyou.

I have been visiting the Health and Vitality centre for just over 2 months. Everyone I have encountered has been extremely professional, polite and friendly. Every time I arrive I am warmly welcomed by the ladies at the desk who stop what they are doing to make conversation with me. I started seeing Alex (chiropractor) to help with 2 slipped discs which had been causing me unbelievable pain and discomfort for the 4 months prior. I had constant sciatica and my range of motion was so limited I could not even put on my own socks or sit in a normal position at a table/desk, forget any forms or exercise and even walking would hurt. After paying privately for an MRI to diasnose my issue my next step was a steroid injection which may or may not have helped (for between weeks and months), at the personal cost of £2.5k each time. I'm so glad I found Alex, he's really great at what he does, after regular visits and exercises my back has improved a lot and I feel like I am getting my life back, a light at the end of a 6 month dark tunnel. I have also had excellent massage with Molly which targeted the muscles in my legs that were so tight they were adding to the strain on my back. Thank you to all the team.

My other half booked a FREE initial appointment for me after seeing an advert on fbook. I've never been to a chiropractor before and was unsure how it works. Went along to my first appointment with Alex and I must say I was impressed with his professionalism and knowledge. I've been suffering for over a year with my back and after seeing him I felt comfortable and already booked my next two sessions to have a consultation and follow up as I was confident knowing I was in good hands. Look forward to my follow ups going forward. Already told my partner about this place and she will be in touch soon to book for a first appointment. Thank you Alex see you soon! Joe

Dear Alex S Please accept this review and know I am so grateful that the Face Book offer sent me your way. For years, I have had an issue in my shoulder region - over the last 6 months it has been causing me real pain and discomfort 😩 After the initial assessment, my brain told my shoulders that you have made a good start. I naturally used my left arm which I have been guarding (it did cause pain but the message got through) 😳 Today, you gave me the results and I had my first ‘adjustment treatment.’ I have booked a course of 14 treatments - I have every confidence in you - I am at a very weak point and I know I have winged a lot but I’m certain you will see a different me as adjustment unravels the awful pain and discomfort. You are dedicated to your profession and loyal to the Vitality/Energy ethos of your Practice. I appreciate the study and practise you have needed to do, to get to this point and it is the modern, young practitioners like you who can really make a difference. I look forward to this journey - at my age, nearly 60 (you have to say 21), I see as a highly important time to re-adjust/get myself sorted to keep my mobility and strength. The people in the Practice you work in, who I have met, have all been professional, normal and friendly and couldn’t have done more for me to make the experience pleasant and wholesome - thank you Donna and Gemma and the practitioner who watched and enjoyed the same Netflix series that I did 🤩 I could go on forever but you have many sessions of me rabbiting on - note to self: ask Alex about his life 😁😂

I recently experienced transformative care under an exceptional physiotherapist, mr Alexander. Beyond traditional methods, this practitioner seamlessly integrates psychological support into their approach, creating a holistic healing environment. From the outset, the personalized consultations demonstrated a deep understanding of both my physical symptoms and the emotional toll of my condition. This collaborative approach fostered trust and active patient involvement. Sessions combined traditional techniques with innovative methods, addressing both physical and emotional aspects. The inclusion of mindfulness and relaxation techniques provided valuable tools for stress management beyond the clinic. What stands out is the physiotherapist's genuine commitment to patient progress, regularly adjusting the treatment plan. This holistic, patient-centered approach sets a new standard for rehabilitation services. For those seeking a physiotherapist who prioritizes both body and mind, I wholeheartedly recommend this practitioner for a healing experience

I went to the Health and Vitality Centre with a very sore knee, in fact I could barely walk properly and was in severe pain. After having Arthroscopic clean out of my knee 14 years previously and told my knee was worn out I was convinced I would need a knee replacement. They squeezed me in to see Chris who carried out a treatment which although painful at the time enabled me to walk out in substantially less pain than when I entered. He also gave me some exercises and dietary tips to improve the cartilage in my knee. Now after 2 months I am pain free and walking without a limp. I followed this up with a couple of massages with Becky. Thank you The Health and Vitality team.

I’ve been having ongoing shoulder problems. I saw Samantha who was very knowledgeable and put me at ease. The treatment on the day gave some immediate relief from pain and I have an easy to follow programme of rehab I can do at home to complement the treatment in clinic. Thanks Samantha!

I’ve had ongoing back issues (including sciatica) since my second pregnancy, that lead into upper back pain with breastfeeding. I saw Samantha who was incredibly intuitive with her treatment and very patient with my long list of ailments! She is very friendly and knowledgeable, and I left with some brilliant exercises to improve my conditions. Would highly recommend!

I have previously revived chiropractic care from Samantha Blundy which was amazing. I came to her with a list of aches, pains and years of injuries in which she helped me get out of pain. She also provided me with ways to prevent the pain and injuries from coming back with exercises which complemented the treatment perfectly. Samantha was approachable, kind and caring in every treatment and I would highly recommend getting treatment from her.

Holly Jaszek

Sam is very professional and confident during treatment. She’s good at explaining the cause of my pain in a simple way that is easy to understand and is keen to ensure I stay both physically and mentally healthy :)

I first experienced mild symptoms of plantar fasciitis in March 2022. I did some research and undertook some self help techniques which gave a little relief. However, a few weeks later my symptoms got worse and I was no longer able to enjoy my trail runs. I sought professional help from a chiropractor local to my home town and my condition did improve for a while. I didn't fully appreciate though that I would need to continue to practise self help techniques, so when I started running again my symptoms began to return. I was unable to resume my original treatment so sought help from Samantha. Samantha was very friendly, confident, extremely patient with me and very knowledgeable about the condition, the cause and the effect of not seeking professional help. She explained very clearly the treatment she was giving and also demonstrated techniques I could use inbetween professional treatment to ease any discomfort I may have had. She emphasised the importance of practising the self help techniques. This was beyond my expectations of the treatment I expected and really helped me to return to my trail running earlier than I hoped. I now understand what I can do for myself but also appreciate when I need to seek professional help. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Samantha at the Health and Vitality Centre. Helen

Alex has successfully treated me for a number of complaints - neck pain, low back pain, calf pain and shoulder pain. His patient management is unparalleled. He brings kindness, respect and professionalism as a practitioner. I trust his deep level of knowledge and extensive skillset for treatment and would highly recommend him.

Alex was my chiropractor when I was in my third year of my chiropractic studies. He was really helpful and gave me excellent advice regarding my upcoming clinic year as well as tips and tricks regarding the 3rd year exams. He was also a really understanding and skillful practitioner. His adjustments were always well performed and the soft tissue work was always a really nice bonus as well.
