My husband and I have both benefitted tremendously from our treatments with Francesco Mariani. I'm a runner with consistent lower back problems. With the very first visit, this chiropractor was able to alleviate the pain and help me return to running, stronger than ever. My husband is a cyclist and his experience was similar. He's professional, highly-knowledgeable and patient. And, for any internationals worried about a language-barrier, he trained in the UK and speaks perfect English. Highly recommended.

If you are in need of a chiropractor, you must come see Francesco! He is so good at what he does; he is professional, thoughtful and personable. He speaks flawless English. My whole family looks forward to our appointments. Highly recommend!

My chiropractic treatment by Francesco has helped get me walking again, which has in turn benefitted my mental health. His caring kind nature helps to alleviate any anxieties or worries around the treatment I’ve received. My treatment plan was explained in such a helpful way so I also knew what was needed and when. Thank you Francesco.

I first visited Francesco’s Chiropractic office in 2019 after suffering with extreme back pain for a month. I could barely walk inside. I had to walk halfway bent over and immediately sit down to rest. He examined me thoroughly and spent so much time with me to understand my specific needs so he could provide the best treatment. By the time I left his office, I was standing upright and was able to walk all the way back to my car much more easily. I have been seeing him regularly since that day! He has helped with hip pain, headaches, muscle strain, and so much more. He has been so kind and helpful! I can’t recommend him enough

Dr. Francesco Mariani saved our trip in Italy! One week into our 3 1/2 week trip, as luck would have it, I had a reoccurance of a very painful backache. We were seriously contemplating just flying back to the U.S. Luckily I searched & found Dr Mariani, got an appointment that day & with a thorough exam & a successful treatment I am happily ready to enjoy the rest of our vacation. Dr Mariani is knowledgeable as much as personable. We we will forever be grateful & highly recommend Dr. F. Mariani

I had a recent BJJ competition I was training for and a week before I hurt my back bad. The next day I went to Fit and Healthy Chiropractic and he did a full assessment and a small adjustment. I instantly felt better, and continued to feel better. I got one more adjustment before the competition and everyday continued to improve. Competition day I was feeling at 95% and was not only able to compete but I won. Thank you so much for your flexibility and your help!

Francesco is professional, works with a smile and approachable, highly recommend, my range of motion in my neck feels far better than before
- Craig Taylor
Francesco is great. I hadn’t been able to exercise properly for a number of years due to a repetitive issue with my back and shoulders. After the second session I ran again, for the first time in 2 years. Francesco explains so clearly what is going on with the body, he is precise and professional. I would recommend him highly. Thank you!
- Sam Connor
Francesco really listened to my complaints and showed a lot of empathy. He explains everything he is going to do, which helps a lot especially when you’re like me, nervous about adjustments. I can honestly say the relief was immediate!

I’ve been suffering with a lot of back/hip/shoulder and neck pain since experiencing full tonic seizures as a result of my brain tumour, after almost a year of NHS physio with no real effects I called my GP as I had been awake pacing the floor in pain for 4 nights to be offered an emergency appointment in a weeks time, I turned to Google and found Francesco, he was able to fit me in the same day and with some minor adjustments I managed to finally sleep, I have now been seeing him twice a week for the past 6 weeks and I feel like a different person. I am able to play football with my boy and do Pilates again. I feel like a 40th year old not an 80 year old lady. Thank you so much, this has changed my life.
