We have been established for 10 years and receive regular patient referrals from local GPs and consultant spinal surgeons.
2. Exceptional Value: we do not believe in offering upfront payment deals, i.e. 10 sessions for the price of nine, etc. and we do not participate in online voucher website offers. Instead, we offer the best rate we can on each session (£52 treatments, £80 initial consultation) and rely on patient progress to dictate how many sessions are required. Why pay for 10 when you may only need four sessions?
3. One-Hour Initial Consultation (£80): no other chiropractic clinic in the city performs longer initial consultations as standard. This allows our practitioners to take a thorough history and perform an in-depth physical assessment.The findings are then explained along with a diagnosis, prognosis and a treatment plan agreed. Treatment is performed in 95% of cases during this session, providing further investigation is not indicated. No delay in receiving treatment and no additional cost added for treating.
4. 30-Minute Treatment Sessions: no other chiropractic clinic in the city offers longer treatment sessions as standard. The sessions are tailored to individual patient’s requirements to optimise recovery and reduce risk of recurrence. Sessions may include a variety of interventions, including joint manipulation/mobilisation, soft tissue work, e.g. deep tissue massage, etc., posture/ergonomic correction, bespoke home strengthening/stretching exercise protocols and many more.

Chiropractic is a primary healthcare profession that specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and overall management of conditions that are due to problems with the joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves, especially related to the spine. In the UK, the profession is regulated by the General Chiropractic Council (GCC) and it is illegal to practice in the UK without being registered with the GCC. Founded in 1895 by Daniel David Palmer, chiropractic is a relatively ‘new’ profession, however, records dating back several thousand years from ancient Greek and Chinese civilizations refer to spinal manipulation. Chiropractic treatment mainly involves safe, gentle, specific spinal manipulation to free joints in the spine or other areas of the body that are not moving properly. Apart from manipulation, chiropractors use a variety of techniques including soft tissue work/massage, acupuncture, stretching, ultrasound, taping, exercise prescription and advice about posture and lifestyle. In the UK, a chiropractor will undergo a minimum of four years’ internationally-accredited training, covering topics such as anatomy, neurology, radiography and orthopaedics. A chiropractor’s training is extensive and chiropractors have to undertakea minimum of 30 hours yearly CPD (continual professional development) in order to maintain registration with the GCC. Our Moorgate-based chiropractors are members of the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) and attend advanced courses in areas of interest such as rehabilitation and soft tissue release techniques, in addition to those that are required to maintain GCC registration. What Should I Wear at My First Consultation with My Chiropractor? During your first visit, you will be required to wear a gown (in order for the chiropractor to perform a full examination). Alternatively, please feel free to bring along some shorts and a t-shirt. On subsequent visits, loose fitting clothes are recommended. What Happens at My First Consultation with My Chiropractor? The first consultation with your chiropractor takes approximately 45-60 minutes. It is during this consultation that information is obtained so that a diagnosis of your complaint can be made. This can be subdivided into four parts: • Case History Your chiropractor will collect information relevant to your injury, i.e. site of discomfort and aggravating and relieving factors. Your previous medical history will also be covered. • Orthopaedic and Neurological Examination This is an assessment of the positions which aggravate your complaint, including range of movement, palpation, muscle tests and provocative manoeuvres. This will highlight the severity of the complaint and the structures involved and will help your chiropractor to diagnose your injury. A neurological examination includes an assessment of the function of the nerves in the spine or extremities (arms and legs) which will help your chiropractor to deduce the area of possible neural involvement. • X-rays These are very rarely necessary, but may be required to help rule out or confirm certain diagnoses, such as fractures. Furthermore, observing the spine in a weight-bearing posture provides your chiropractor with information regarding any areas of the spine that are under stress on a day-to-day basis. The degree of degeneration can also be ascertained. There are no x-ray facilities on site, so patients are referred by their chiropractor to a local radiography clinic. • MRI Scans Additional soft tissue imaging may also be used by our City of London chiropractors to gain further information about a patient’s complaint. Where necessary, patients can be referred to Vista Diagnostics. Upon completion of the examination, the diagnosis and a plan of management will be explained by your chiropractor. The patient will then be asked to consent to treatment and treatment can then be initiated. What’s Involved? At Bodymotion, there are three components to treatment, namely: At the Bodymotion, we believe that treatment is very much a partnership between you and your chiropractor and therefore, if you are unsure or not happy with a particular treatment technique, please inform your chiropractor who can put you at ease or modify the treatment accordingly. “There is more evidence-based research to support chiropractic treatment than any other complementary discipline” (British Chiropractic Association, 2006). Please find listed below a selection of research papers and published documents which demonstrate this strong evidence base: NICE Guidelines; In May 2009, The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) published new guidelines to improve the early management of persistent non-specific low back pain. The guidelines recommend what care and advice the NHS should offer to people affected by low back pain. NICE assessed the effectiveness, safety and cost-effectiveness of available treatments and one recommendation is to offer a course of manual therapy, including spinal manipulation, spinal mobilisation and massage. National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE)’s “Non-rigid stabilisation procedures for the treatment of low back pain” guidelines include a statement that chiropractic intervention and posture training can limit episodes of acute pain (June 2006). Koes B W, van Tulder MW, Thomas S (2006): ‘Diagnosis and Treatment of Low Back Pain’. British Medical Journal (BMJ), 332:1439-1434 (June). A review article of over 1,000 ramdomised, controlled trials of all treatments for low back pain which recommends spinal manipulation for both acute and chronic low back pain. Department of Health (DOH)’s ‘The Musculoskeletal Framework; A joint responsibility; doing it differently’ clearly acknowledges chiropractors as being one of the professions that has clear expertise in the delivery of musculoskeletal services – and lays out plans for specialist clinics where chiropractic is available. Department of Health – Musculoskeletal Framework Policy UK BEAM Trial; back pain, exercise and manipulation (UK BEAM) randomised trial: effectiveness of physical treatments for back pain in primary care. Medical Research Council: ‘Randomised comparison of chiropractic and hospital outpatient management for low back pain’. At three years, the results confirm the findings of an earlier report that, when chiropractic or hospital therapists treat patients with low back pain as they would in day-to-day practice, those treated by chiropractic derive more benefit and long-term satisfaction than those treated by hospitals. NHS-National Institute of Clinical Evidence (NICE)’s ‘Referal Advice – A guide to appropriate referral from general to specialist services’ encourages manipulation therapy to help restore function (December 2001).

I went to Bodymotion as I was experiencing back and neck pain and restricted arms movement, and other practitioners were not able to identify a cause or solution. Emma was able to diagnose the problem and over the course of several treatments she was able to improve my movement and significantly reduce the pain. She is very approachable and professional and I would highly recommend her.

I've been seeing Ben for a couple months now, he's helped me manage my lower back pain and is a very likable guy.
It's easy to see why Bodymotion have amazing reviews wherever you look.
His examinations are thorough which is reassuring.
I won't hesitate recommending anyone to Ben for treatment.

I attended the Bodymotion Chiropractic clinic last week and was attended to by Dr. Emma Daniels. On explaining that I had a numb middle toe, Dr. Daniels assessed me and diagnosed Morton's neuroma. Aft
er only one session, it is so much better. Thank you Dr. Daniels

I couldn’t more highly recommend Dr. Ben Glenister and his staff at Bodymotion! I am an American living and working in London, and have been seeing chiropractors in the USA for 15+ years. I was nervous about finding a new chiropractor, but when I hurt my back during a fall in Scotland I finally made my way into Bodymotion. I wish I hadn’t waited so long! Dr. Ben is great - intelligent and compassionate, which makes a world of a difference when you’re in back pain. I arrived in April 2019 barely able to stand up on my own, and after several weeks of consistent treatments (adjustments, acupuncture, muscle work) I was back to 100% mobility again by May 2019. Now I maintain my health with regular appointments. Thank you Bodymotion!

Been to a few chiropractors, and Ben is the best. He's willing to try different techniques, and he's very knowledgeable about anatomy. Very practical approach. And qucj results for a stubborn shoulder condition. And he's a really decent chap!

Top knot place with very friendly and professional staff. For anyone looking to find good chiropractors and/or physios, these guys are an absolute find and good prices given their location in the city. Highly recommend them to anyone!

I've been seeing Ben Glenister at Bodymotion chiropractic every 3-4 weeks for the last 6 months while I've been recovering from a herniated disk. He has been extremely helpful in his advice and physical treatment in managing this issue.
At the first consultation, he assessed my issues and wrote a lengthy letter to give to my GP with his general diagnosis which helped my doctor to be more direct with the possible treatments and scans I'd need to have.
I've been very happy with his services and would happily recommend.

I really like this company. For weeks I've struggled with a shin injury that I suffered from football. I went to this company had my leg evaluated. The people there were very lovely. Great service, easy to book and very affordable. Not only did they helped me evaluate my injury but they also helped me with the process of booking my X-ray Appointment and making sure I get the best treatment for recovering my leg. My doctor was Emily white. She was the nicest doctor I've ever met. Overall I am very pleased with the service provided and will definitely recommend any one to go to this company if you are suffering from a sports injury.

Emma is a life saver. I have been treated by her twice now. The first time I arrived, I was utterly miserable with my back pain. Within a few sessions, I was a different person and cannot explain how good it feels to finally live without pain.
Most recently, she has treated me with a trapped nerve in my neck and again, three sessions later and I feel great. She has helped where others haven't. Thank you.

I visited Bodymotion because I was experiencing pain and swelling in my neck and shoulders and my doctor was unable to find the cause after a series of hospital tests. Emma was able to diagnose the problem immediately and within the space of six sessions was able to restore full movement in my neck, reduce the swelling and now I have no pain. Emma is very friendly and professional and I would highly recommend

I came to Emma with a condition called costochondritis this is a really painful inflammation in the chest that causes extreme pain. This condition made me seek emergency help on a few occasions because of its similarity to a heart attack. Came in an from the first session I started to feel a relief. 4th session in and I have not had any pain in my chest and I can now live as I did before the costochondritis. I now go to the gym as before and not needing to worry about if i can move my torso and chest.
Best chiropractor in town!

Amazing results! I was suffering from extremely sore and tight upper traps and neck issues. After seeing 4 prior clinics I was losing hope in finding a solution to my very uncomfortable problem. on my final attempt i came across Emma & Body Motion. I know after the first appointment i was in the right place. Emma took the time to correctly assess and understand the issue and then got straight to work sorting it out. a few weeks on and i feel a million bucks! thank you.

Really great experience, special shout-out to Ben Glenister who was extremely helpful and friendly, but also thorough and professional. Felt a whole lot better after the sessions and was recommended what to do in the future to prevent further issues which is great too. Prices are reasonable as well. Overall definitely recommend, and will be coming back again.

I have been receiving treatment for a painful back injury from Emma at Bodymotion over the past seven. It has improved immeasurably because of Emma’s work and I could not recommend the clinic highly enough.

I had suffered from a very uncomfortable sports injury that affected my hip movements for over two or so years. After many visits to a physiotherapist to no avail, I decided to seek help from a chiropractor. I went and saw Ben Glenister at Body Motion who was absolutely helpful and after just a few sessions - plus practical exercises I was given to do in-between those sessions - I had never felt better in a very long time. I will most definitely recommend Ben, he is very professional and effective. He also takes the time to explain the technicalities of what is happening and why and also how the relevant approach and exercises will help correct the issue. Thanks again Ben really appreciate it!

After a fall down the stairs which resulted in a coccyx injury, I had visited an osteopath for months with zero improvement. I came across Bodymotion and booked an appointment with Ben after seeing countless 5* reviews. Ben put me at ease, made me feel super comfortable and just has a lovely manner.
After 1 session which included medical acupuncture, it was like instant relief. I revisited weekly for a few more treatment sessions and had 6 months of being completely pain-free!
I highly recommend Bodymotion and will not go anywhere else now. Thanks Ben!

I saw Ben few months ago for the first time when my back was in a very bad condition. Ben was able to explain clearly what he thought was going on and seemed to have my wellbeing in his interest. He liaised with my pilates instructor so that it works for my back. Ben was friendly and within few sessions I left feeling great! Would highly recommend.

I’ve seen 8 different chiropractors over the last 30 years on a steady bases. Emily is the best. I’m a runner and was experiencing issues, tightness, and pain with my hip, knees, ankles, and achilles. She quickly diagnosed the problems and worked out a solution and treatment. Many chiropractors are good with diagnosis but fall short of treatment, some are decent with treatments, but miss in the diagnosis. In addition to being a true professional, she makes the experience lively and fun. I would have no reservations introducing and recommending Emily White to others, which I have and she treaded my niece successfully.

I saw Emma over several sessions for a whiplash injury and other chronic pain. She couldn't have been more helpful, I felt I was in the best hands. This is definitely my clinic of choice for any ongoing treatment, and I would highly recommend Emma. The treatment made a big difference to my symptoms and I'm very pleased.

Emily White is fantastic. I have seen different chiropractors over my adult life and I have to say she is one of the best. I am visiting from the United States and I hurt my hip and was having difficulty even bending over. After the first visit my hip felt great after the second, I was back to my old self. I then fell while away and was so happy that I had Emily to get me back on track. Will continue to use her when needed while I am here. Wish I could take her back to the States with me. I highly
recommend Emily White and Body Motion.

I walked into Body Motion a broken man with a disc bulge and facet joint sprain in my upper back. Unable to even lift my head, Emma Daniells cracked, popped, massaged and stabbed away. After a few sessions, with the help of some targeted stretching and strengthening exercises I was in little pain and walking taller than ever! Hopefully I won’t have to return to Bodymotion ever again, but if I do, I’ll be sure to knock on Emma’s door.

I have been going to Bodymotion for about 6 months now. When I started seeing Emma I was very underwhelmed and disappointed with my previous experience with chiropractors as I never saw any real results. I have truly had the best experience here, I no longer have back pain, I have better range of movement and my body feels stronger. Thank you.

Tasha has been outstanding in helping me work through a very specific sports related injury. She is great at identifying where the genesis of the injury is and then, literally, digging in to attack the problem area. She is always courteous and efficient, helping me get in and out as required by my busy work schedule. I would highly recommend Tasha to anyone who is looking for specific, targeted help in addressing a sports related strain/injury.

Emma was very professional and made sure she learned as much about me and did what I felt was a thorough consultation before doing some adjustments for me.
Returning for a follow up and I look forward to it.

I came to see Jonathan for back ache I've had on-off for years. He spent most of the first session just listening to me talk about my back and really understanding what was going on, which meant he was able to diagnose the issue and how to fix it in the first session. I only ended up going twice and now feeling so much better! So so pleased and would definitely recommend anyone to go and see how he can help.
