Therapy.
By manipulating the body’s soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue, it promotes relaxation, reduces tension, and addresses various musculoskeletal issues.
A multidisciplinary approach
The majority of back and neck pain involves more than one anatomical structure (muscles, bones, joints etc..) and will be caused by more than one factor.
It’s a common misconception that you need to be a sports person or play sports to benefit from ‘Sports Massage’, this is not the case. Many types of injury or muscle tension can be successfully treated and relieved from Sports Massage.
How can Sports Massage help?
01
Muscle Relaxation
Sports massage and soft tissue massage help relax tense muscles, reducing muscle stiffness and promoting a greater range of motion. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic muscle tension or those recovering from physical activity.
02
Pain Relief
Sports Massage therapy can alleviate pain by releasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. It may also help reduce the perception of pain signals in the brain, providing relief for individuals with musculoskeletal pain, injuries, or conditions like fibromyalgia.
03
Improved Circulation
The manipulation of soft tissues during massage enhances blood flow and lymphatic circulation. This increased circulation promotes the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and aids in the removal of metabolic waste products, contributing to overall tissue health.
04
Stress Reduction
Soft tissue massage has a calming effect on the nervous system, leading to a reduction in stress hormones such as cortisol. This can help individuals manage stress, anxiety, and improve their overall mental well-being.
05
Enhanced Flexibility
By targeting muscle and connective tissue, sports massage and soft tissue therapy can improve flexibility and joint range of motion. This is particularly valuable for athletes, individuals recovering from injuries, or those with conditions causing reduced mobility.
06
Improved Sleep Quality
Regular massage has been associated with improved sleep patterns. The relaxation induced by massage can positively impact sleep quality, making it an appealing option for individuals experiencing sleep disturbances.
07
Enhanced Mood & Well-Being
The release of endorphins during massage contributes to an improved mood, making it a valuable therapeutic tool for individuals dealing with depression or anxiety.

Harrison’s adjustment treatments and Ben’s massage therapy have worked hand in hand to make a real difference in my recovery. They’re both professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to helping their patients improve. Each session feels thoughtfully tailored to my needs, and I always leave feeling better and more confident in my movement.
I’m still undergoing treatment, but I’m now able to start getting back into fitness properly again which is something I didn’t think I’d be doing this soon. The clinic itself is lovely, with a welcoming atmosphere. Harrison and Ben are so friendly and easy to talk to so there is nothing to be worried about if you are nervous about going into the clinic for the first time.
I’m incredibly grateful for everything they’ve done for me, they’ve truly helped change my life for the better. I couldn’t recommend enough.
I can't thank them enough.
Ray Moore.
I have had a block course of Pelvic Chair sessions and they have really helped with my pelvic health and bladder issues which have improved greatly and am now carrying on with monthly management sessions for this aswell.
Plus a dull ache in my lower to mid back. I attended the: -
'Rayleigh Life Chiropractic Clinic'
on recommendation of a family member.
Have to say, being around three quarters of the way through my course of treatment.
The leg pain has ceased & back pain has reduced considerably.
Resulting in more confidence in my general wellbeing for an 81 year old.
Ben listened to my needs and he recommended shock wave treatment with made tremendous difference. I can stand long hours at work and practically walk throughout my 12 hours shifts without much pain.
I will recommend this treatment to anyone in pain
In addition, the treatment I have with Ben perfectly complements the adjustment work, and each session is genuinely a joy. Ben is incredibly attentive and always takes the time to ask how my body has been between visits so he can focus on exactly what I need. Every appointment feels comfortable, personal, and honestly like catching up with a friend. Ben made my first dry needling experience calm and reassuring, taking the time to fully explain what to expect.
I highly recommend Life Wickford.
I’ve struggled with my back pain and walking for over 5 years!
I now see these lovely people who are friendly, gentle and very good at their jobs and I’m now on less pain and walking better!
Thank you!
You then begin your treatment with one of the fantastic doctors. I met Dr. Harrison, who is such a likeable person let alone a great doctor. We discussed the treatment plan and he put my mind at rest about my future and the pain I had been in. Sure enough, 10 treatments later and a couple of massages on my t plan, I feel like a new man. No back pain and no hip pain. I’ve even started playing football again at the age of 60.
Thank you to all at Life. You are all fantastic!!
Wouldn't go anywhere else!
I can’t recommend Harrison enough! I came to him struggling with ongoing back pain, and the difference he’s made has been incredible. From the very first appointment, he made me feel at ease with his friendly, professional manner and clear explanations of what was going on with my back. Each session has been thorough and tailored to my needs, and I’ve noticed such a huge improvement – I feel like I have my quality of life back!
Harrison is not only skilled and knowledgeable, but he genuinely cares about his patients’ wellbeing. He takes the time to listen, answer questions, and make sure you’re comfortable throughout the process. I always leave feeling better, both physically and mentally.
If you’re looking for a chiropractor who is excellent at what they do and who goes above and beyond for their patients, Harrison is the one to see. Truly outstanding service – I’m so grateful for his help!
I would definitely recommend coming here.
Lovely staff, friendly service, my poor chiropractor hears all about my family at each visit and remembers the next visit so feels personal.
Thanks all!
Would 100% recommend them to my friends and family .
Tina and Ellen look after me brillant service
Definitely 200% recommend this practice.
My 2nd home now. Lovely friendly staff. Make you feel at ease. Thank you!! X
I am truly grateful to Dr Aaron and massage therapist Matt for their outstanding care, and also to the entire team for their kindness, professionalism and warm smiles. Thank you all so much — I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to everyone.
Chiropractors and Staff are super friendly and helpful.
Great at what they do.
Really pleased I found it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I also have to mention the lovely ladies behind the desk, every morning I’m greeted with the most welcoming smile. They are all so polite and helpful. Nothing is an issue they have arranged all of my appointments and even changed them for me last minute on numerous occasions. Every person in that clinic is an asset to company. A* from me. Highly recommended in every single aspect.
I would 100 percent recommend this place to anyone who has an injury whether it be from work, sport related !
I’ve been seeing Dr Brandon for nearly a year now and have been consistent with my treatments.
I’ve had on going back pain for over 15yrs and 3yrs ago the pain just wouldn’t go, it was so debilitating.
The doctors/consultants were no help even though this was effecting my everyday life to the point I felt such a burden to my family.
Dr Brandon has been amazing, so patient with me and always greeted with a smile, at the start he talked me through my X-ray and now I have more of an understanding of what my back issue are.
I’m now having treatment once a month and I will continue with this as I never want to experience back pain again.
I cannot thank Dr Brandon enough he has changed my life.
I’m now pain free, happy & back in the gym and enjoying life.
I want to also thank the team on the front desk for always making me feel welcome on every visit .
I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
dr jacques is a friendly chap explaining what we trying achieve every time he does treatment. Very recommended
The staff are all so kind welcoming and polite Realy do recommend x also I suffer with a syatic nerve and it wasn’t untill I saw a friend in pain that i realised since I been here with uri I havnt (touch wood) had any problems with atal .. absolutely recommend 110%
They have managed my back injury in an extremely professional manner , I have every confidence in their practice, advice and guidance
It has worked wonders for him .
Would highly recommend to anyone .
Also lovely and friendly staff.
I now attend every 5-6 weeks for an adjustment which keeps my aches and pains at bay. If I go longer for any reason my body complains.
After the consultation, we asked Dr. Jayden when the results would be ready, and he ensured we would receive them promptly, booking us in for the very next day.
At the follow-up, he explained everything clearly, answered all our questions, and even went the extra mile by writing a letter to the GP about a separate health concern. On the same day, he also carried out a chiropractic session for my mum.
Overall, the clinic offers excellent service with professional, caring staff and impressively quick results.
When i first went there, i was in a lot of pain and my movement difficult.
After making my Appointment, i was seen by Tina.....who then took care of me throughout my treatment....
Tina....was amazing.....and everything was done so easily, and with no fuss at all. Tina took the time to carefully explain everything, what was needed to be done, when , how, and even gave me some exercises to do , which again, she took the time to show me ,on how to do them ...which was superb......
She also explained the outcome we could achieve with my particular issue....
So to Tina.....i say.....Thankyou......
You were marvellous....
Throughout my treatment plan, and when having my X-Rays done, everything was just so easy, and seemless....with the end result after 18 sessions, being that im so much better. My movement has improved, my pain has reduced by 90% and i can highly recommend Life Clinic without hesitation.

Staff are polite , happy and helpful . Clean and well organised practice.
Thank you all for the experience😁😁
Dr Yenei has been really supportive and has worked wonders so far in areas that have been affecting the tightness and pain in my neck
Would have no problem in recommending this Clinic
The difference was immediate—on my next run, while stretching, I suddenly found I could balance perfectly on each leg for the first time in years. As I began running, my stride felt longer and smoother—as if I’d unlocked a gear I hadn’t used in a decade or more. It was like my physique had rediscovered efficient movement I’d long forgotten, everything working in harmony once again.
To my amazement, I even developed a stitch near the end, something I hadn’t felt in years. It dawned on me that while my physique had advanced so quickly thanks to the treatment, my cardiovascular system was now being stretched to keep up with these newfound improvements—a testament to how much more my body is capable of. I was running 15 seconds per kilometre faster than usual, an achievement I never thought I’d reach after believing I’d plateaued.
Originally, I didn’t think I would require any treatment, but it has now become a real priority. The effects are already making a major difference to my daily quality of life—enabling me to push my fitness, rediscover satisfaction, and invest in my wellbeing for many years to come. “Life Chiropractic” couldn’t be a more fitting name; I’m excited to continue this journey and look forward to experiencing even more vitality and life as a result.
I am now only have appointments for maintenance which alternate between adjustments with Dr Aaron and massage sessions with Carley.
The staff have been amazing, they are always very professional, whilst been welcoming and friendly, the whole environment makes you feel relaxed. You are always kept well informed about your treatments plan, with the treatments targeted to your needs. You also receive reminders, sent out via text, and app notifications on in advance of your appointments.
I would highly recommend Life Chiropractic Clinic to everyone.
I started seeing Dr Aaron, for an ongoing knee issue in which I had intermittent pains making everyday life unbearable at times. Since seeing Dr Aaron, I've seen significant improvements in my knee and am extremely grateful for his expertise.
There’s always parking available, an huge bonus and the coffee’s great, small touches, but they really add to the experience.
I first came in with poor posture, frequent headaches and back pain, but after a course of treatment, I now just come in for regular maintenance to stop the issue from returning. The on-site X-ray facilities give you real peace of mind that you’re in good hands and being professionally cared for.
The clinic itself is spotless, modern, and has a calming, professional atmosphere. It’s clear they’ve thought about every detail. Life Chiropractic will always be my go-to for chiropractic care or massage.
Highly recommend, thank you to the whole team!
I picked Lauren for treatment due to her Fibromyalgia experience on her profile, as soon as we met, it was clear Lauren fully understood the condition and my management needs to keep my symptoms & chronic pain in check.
Due to being a chronic condition and my choice not wanting to continue with constant medication I regularly see Lauren and massage therapists to keep my pain manageable, which also includes life style changes and regular gentle exercise.
I had what I thought was tendonitis but the problem went deeper than that. Calum and Ellena have worked wonders to help resolve my issues and I now attend the clinic twice a month to maintain the excellent work they have done.
Many thanks to the whole team.
Sandra Potter
I've been a patient at Life Chiropractic Basildon for about a year now, and I can't speak highly enough of my experience. From the moment you walk in, the reception team are absolutely lovely – always friendly, welcoming, and sporting a smile.
My chiropractor, Stefan, has been amazing since day one. When I first started, I was incredibly stiff, but within just a few sessions, I noticed significant improvements. Stefan is not only incredibly skilled but also takes the time to truly listen to your concerns. He developed a clear plan for my visits and provided excellent advice on stretches I could do at home to help with my back stiffness.
Stefan also recommended Jordan for sports massages, and he's just as fantastic! Jordan is brilliant at listening to your issues, recommending the right type of massage to alleviate pain, and suggesting home exercises to further help.
I've built a great relationship with both Stefan and Jordan during my time here, and while I'm sure the other staff are great too, I wouldn't change either of them. I highly recommend both Stefan and Jordan – they've made a real difference!

I then had a sports massage with Jordan, which was amazing , absolutely incredible felt so much better and would highly recommend him.
My flexibility/mobility is now a lot better and I didn't actually expect them to to improve as much as they have.
The adjustment sessions with Cindy and Rehab sessions with Ben have both been great. They're flexible approach to each session has been very good.
The reception staff are always friendly and helpful, I'd definitely recommend having treatment here it's always a consistently good experience.
as a postman I walk a lot of miles an never realised how much strain it had put on my body until I’ve been being adjusted since my regular treatments I feel so much better in many ways… energy levels, sleeping, back pain eased dramatically an my general movement is better. Also the staff have been great very helpful and informative a make the whole process easy cannot recommend them enough.
Great staff , my Chiropractor Brandon is very professional and knows his stuff , I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who has back pain , Sciatica ect.
I have been standing for only 4 months from a long bed bound period dew to Sepsis , so my legs hips knees and feet have needed a lot of adjustments, I lost a 4 stone all of which was muscle dew to septic shock !
but I am making good steady progress
Don't put it off , get pain free asap , I wish I had started months ago , but I was told not to be podiatry
Staff ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Chiropractor : Brandon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Overall experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Before coming here, I was getting headaches almost every other day. Which, as you can imagine, was very draining and I was very miserable. I’d been to the doctors numerous times, but had no help. I’d tried multiple at home remedies, all sorts of medications and nothing seemed to be helping. Seeing a chiropractor was my last resort.
Since the beginning of my treatment, I have only had 2 headaches (they were both near the beginning) that only lasted a few hours - which is a MASSIVE improvement. Currently haven’t had a headache or any pain for a good few weeks now, this is longest I’ve been without one for years. I’m absolutely over the moon.
Cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you!
Soft tissue treatments
Having a hugely skilled and experienced therapist team means we can offer a host of soft tissue therapies to enable our clients to receive the very best care and solution to their needs.

Sports Massage
We offer many different types of Soft Tissue treatments tailored specifically to release muscle tension, support good posture and reduce localised pain through manipulation of soft tissue.

Dry Needling
Dry needling can help alleviate pain by releasing tension in muscles and reducing muscle spasms. It targets trigger points, which are hyperirritable spots in the muscles associated with pain.

Cupping
Cupping creates suction, which can enhance blood flow to the treated area. Improved circulation promotes the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and helps in the removal of metabolic waste products.

Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy treatment is a non-surgical procedure. It targets damaged tissue and emits impulses of energy to increase the blood flow and stimulate healing and cell regeneration and is ideal for treating chronic pain.
“We strive to make sure all of our massage clients at Life Chiropractic leave stress and tension-free and feeling the benefit of their treatment.”
How many treatments will I need?
It’s important to note that the benefits of soft tissue massage can vary from person to person, and individual preferences for pressure and techniques may differ. Our qualified massage therapists can help tailor treatment to specific needs and ensure its appropriateness for individual health conditions.
Many conditions will require an initial course of treatment. The number of treatments needed varies from person to person and what is right for you will be explained by your practitioner.
