Patient Testimonials

Hear from real patients who have received care at our Student Chiropractic Clinic in Bournemouth. Their stories reflect the commitment and passion of our students and tutors to provide exceptional, patient-centred care.

A huge, heartfelt thank you for identifying that I needed a hip replacement and starting the ball rolling. Without you I'd still be consumed by pain and probably totally immobile by now! Your wealth of experience, knowledge and impeccable patient care is an exemplar to others in health care.

Some years ago I had 2 shoulder surgeries; I went to HSU for some help to rehab my shoulders and they did an amazing job. Whenever I need help after injuries, I always go back to HSU. All staff including the students, are friendly, professional, helpful and always listen to you. I am very grateful

As a long term patient, I've had nothing but exemplary care at HSU. The chiropractic students are highly committed and passionate about healthcare. I find them to be positive and encouraging and without their support i would not be able to continue doing the sport that I love.

My Chiropractor referred me to HSU a few years back for an ultrasound scan. Thanks to them, I was able to show my GP something wasn't right with my hip. X-rays, MRI, CT, Physiotherapy and a referral to a specialist all happened thanks to that initial scan at HSU.

I've had nothing but exemplary care at HSU. The students are highly committed and passionate about healthcare
