I would always recommend Rosie to anyone who has thought about going to a chiropractor. She is friendly, very knowledgeable, full of really great advice and has helped me enormously. I see her... regularly as a matter of course but recently she has been treating me for a frozen shoulder and she has done an amazing job in just a few months. I am now almost pain free and my mobility is vastly improved. I really benefit from the exercises that she gives me and I really like that she emails extra things between appointments that she thinks may help my situation. I feel very fortunate to have found her.read more

I had my first visit with Rosie yesterday and was very happy. Firstly, the COVID precautions are very good and I had no concerns in that regard. Rosie and Sharon are both very friendly and welcoming,... Rosie met me in the car park and took me inside.Once in her consultation room she took the time to understand me, my lifestyle and the details of my problem (a *very* sore lower back). She then assessed me, explained what she though the problem is, agreed a course of action and started work on the manipulation required. By the time I left I felt looser and more comfortable, but understood that it will take more than one session to fix. Rosie gave me some simple stretching exercises to do at home as well as a reusable ice pack for when it's very tender.Everything was followed up in an email later that day. Overall I couldn't have hoped for a better experience, I'm very pleased indeed.read more

The... last 5 weeks, I have seen/felt significant and progressive improvement to my mobility and feel a full recovery is not too far away.

Rosie @ Total Health has been the most professional and compassionate chiropractor I have seen. I have been to several over the years as I move around a lot. The service she offers is personal,... thorough and her extensive knowledge of her discipline is outstanding.I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need, or the service as a whole. The price is fair and the treatments are worth it.She has helped me on the path to mobility, even recommending another colleague for follow up treatment to help me achieve my fitness goals after several years of immobility.She knows my body better than I do now. She finds the areas that require treatment and releases tension in places that have been stressed for years.Seriously, Rosie should be at the top of your list if you require treatment in the Berkshire area. Can't recommend her (and the team) highly enough.read more

I was referred to Rosie by my previous Chiropractor when I moved into the Newbury area. I'm glad I asked for the recommendation. Rosie listened to my skeleton chiro history, and over a period of... weeks she sorted my back and neck out, which will be great until I either fall off my bike again, or reach too far when decorating. I never learn - and then I'll be going back to be mended. I'm very happy that I Rosie and her team are close by to help.read more

I think the service here is awesome! I’ve never been to a Chiropractor before and as most are, was a little hesitant, wondering if I could part with the money. I’m a very active person, a better dad... when I’m actively doing things with my children, and I want to play sport and train as long as I can do! I've struggled with back pain for a long time, and over the last 3 years it’s deteriorated which has limited my mobility and brought on an increase in headaches and migraines. I decided to go for it!Rosie (the chiropractor) was very welcoming from the off. We talked about my life, my job, my activities, my diet, what I wanted to achieve, pretty much everything, even what we were having for dinner?! I felt very comfortable, and it helps that she’s got a good sense of humour too, personable but professional.She assessed my issues and didn’t push me into any treatments. My first treatment was a real eye opener, I cracked, I cracked hard, it was awesome!! She explained why she thought I was getting headaches, why I was so tight and what we could do to help it. I walked out feeling like I made a good move, and have a second session with her tomorrow. For anyone in doubt, It’s definitely worth a consultation. If you’re like me, you’d spend that money on a couple of takeaways in a month, so why not invest in your health. By the way, I have nothing to do with Rosie the chiropractor or the retreat itself. I just feel like you need to give credit when it’s due.read more

After my previous chiropractor ceased trading, I dreaded the prospect of finding a new one in these troubled times, but the whole experience was very easy. The practice itself feels Covid-safe and... very well managed. Rosie is very understanding and keen to offer the help that I need without subjecting me to extra appointments that are not necessary. She offers good advice and exercises to do at home to speed up the process of healing. I felt so much better after after my first appointment. I have no hesitation in recommending Total Chiropractic.read more

I recently attended Total Health for some chiropractic treatment and so far have had 5 sessions with Rosie. From the outset I was deeply impressed by the excellent procedures put in place to allow... treatment to be carried out in the Covid environment. Nothing had been left to chance and I felt totally comfortable. This is the first time I have received such treatment and due to Rosie's expertise and wise advice the outcome has been so successful. My shoulder and upper back pain has receded dramatically as a result of the manipulation and exercise programme put in place.Overall, an excellent experience and I highly recommend this practice for anyone requiring treatment.Alastair McKayread more

At each stage of the treatment she explained... what was going to happen and answered any questions I had, it was easy to build up a rapport and trust with Rosie who was very professional in her approach.

I would thoroughly recommend anyone experiencing difficulties and in need of chiropractor services to contact Total Chiropractic.read more

Due to an accident last year (broken Humerus) and the scant Physiotherepy available from the NHS combined with general incapacity associated with an injury like this (no more beach volleyball for... me!) - I took advice and did some research before calling Total Chiropractic.I was impressed with the studio facilities & staff and the no no-nonsense practical but sensitive approach of Rosie Piercey. (healing hands!)I attended as directed and was 100% after about 6 weeks. Enjoyable as treatment can be, homework and on line resources were always available.I thoroughly recommend Total Chiropractic. + costs are reasonable and can be claimed back iaw your helth insurance rules.

I had had a bad back for a few weeks before I plucked up the courage to visit Rosie. She put me at ease from the off and was very thorough. I told her about my migraines too, as well as stiff neck... and shoulder.
Well I'm probably 8 to 10 treatments in now and my back is pain free, neck and shoulders are 95 percent sorted and migraines are a LOT less frequent.
I honestly cannot recommend Rosie enough. Many thanks Rosie from the bottom of my back haharead more

I initially saw Rosie several years ago for recurring pain around my pelvis/lower back due to SPD during pregnancy. She was knowledgeable and professional and not only sorted my pelvis (when others... hadn't) but figured out how she could help with migraines too which have drastically reduced. Recently she kept my back and pelvis in good shape while also giving me great advice during my training for the Moonwalk London this year - I wouldn't have completed the challenge without her.

Ongoing treatments have kept the pain at bay, my back is now feeling a lot better and my mobility has improved enormously.
