Marcus Liebling
“When I first came to see Marcus I had a bad shoulder and neck, because of this I was not swimming as fast as i had wanted to. Marcus quickly found the problem and started to give me treatment on my neck and shoulder, he found that my back had caused some of the problem that I was wonky, this had made parts of me weak and stiff!!
After a few days of treatment my swimming had dramatically improved. I'm now a Dorset county champion in the 200 Breaststroke and in the 100 butterfly. I won two silver medals at the South West Regionals in the 200 Butterfly and in the 100 Butterfly. I would recommend Marcus to anyone, of any age!!"

"After struggling in back-pain for two weeks to the extent that I had to crawl around in tears, I finally went to the doctors to be told to take more pain relievers and exercise. I was always apprehensive about visiting a chiropractor but after feeling deflated from my doctors visit and at breaking point I immediately and somewhat painfully shuffled myself off to Liebling Chiropractic Care and explained my plight to the receptionist. Marcus was able to see me within 15 minutes of walking through the door and it is the best thing I have done for myself in a long time (being a busy working mum there is very little time for yourself). From the very first visit he was reassuring and identified the underlying cause of my pain. The treatment was gentle and effective with a full explanation at a level that I could understand throughout. I have been seeing Marcus for two weeks now and I feel my life has been turned around. I just thought I was getting old when I noticed that I had to turn my body and not just my neck when checking the 'blind spot' while driving. Not any more, I have so much freedom in my movement that I feel 21 again! Being overweight, I always intended to start a diet the next day. Since I started visiting Marcus I am more positive and focused about life in general, so much so that I have lost one stone within two weeks."
Mrs Kellaway, Broadstone
“When I first went to see Marcus in 2005 I had to be driven to the clinic as sitting or moving my foot to change gear was too painful. Even as a passenger every tiny bump on the road was agony. My back felt weak, I couldn’t sit or lean forward and if I moved the wrong way I got shooting pains. It’s horrible and at the time you wonder if you will ever be normal again. Marcus was sympathetic to my situation and how debilitated I felt. His professional and thorough approach was very reassuring. He helped me understand what had happened and explained what each treatment would involve. In addition to the Chiropractic treatments he recommended various safe exercises to stretch and strengthen certain areas. After only a couple of weeks I could drive again and with a few more treatments and exercises I felt supple and strong and pain free! You are definitely in safe hands with Marcus.”

“Hello my name is Sylvia and this is a photo of me with my grandson, who is now one year old. When I first visited Marcus in March 2008 I was in a lot of pain in my back and legs and I found that just walking was very painful and a full night’s sleep was not heard of. I also suffered with neck pain and headaches.
Now thanks to my treatments with Marcus I can now play and keep up with my grandson and have a good nights sleep, ready for play the next day. Radlett’s loss is Wimborne’s gain. Thank you for all you have done for me Marcus.”

“I want to thank you so much for the help you have given me over the last three months on my neck and back. As you know, I was in a lot of pain by the time I came to you and had been suffering from pain for as long as I could remember. Despite various visits to my GP and hospital over the years, my condition had not improved at all and was gradually getting worse. I have to admit that I was dubious that you would be able to do any better than any previous professional medics had done in the past; but I am delighted to say that the treatment you have given me has made a HUGE difference. Although I am not completely pain free just yet - nor would I expect to be after suffering for so many years - I have more movement, am sleeping better and am feeling much stronger - in fact I think I will picket the clinic and not let you out on Wednesday!! Seriously though, I am very grateful for your help and I wish you every success.”

Ever wondered how a chiropractor can help a pregnant woman? – Well I can tell you.
I was approximately six months pregnant with my son when I suddenly developed a severe pain in the backside - no not my husband – but what turned out to be a very tightly clenched muscle (piriformis apparantly!). It was one of those pains where you can’t stand up and you can’t sit down and walking was a bit of a trial too.
It was only because my husband had recently contacted Marcus to release a trapped sciatic nerve that I thought he may be able to help me too.
Marcus was wonderful. Not only did he relieve my sore buttock in two quick sessions but he was also very sympathetic and seemed to understand the physical quirks of being pregnant and the treatment was so gentle.
He explained in detail what was happening with my body and why problems like this arise, basically because the whole body starts to relax in preparation for childbirth but sometimes (as in my case) one side relaxes quicker than the other. He gave me a few easy exercises to try and keep things evened up.
After childbirth the reverse happens and everything starts to tighten up again and, as before, I was lopsided. Again, Marcus came to my rescue when my lower back seized up – something you really don’t want to happen when you are carrying around a baby all day.
Mrs Angie Gillingham, Blandford
Dear Marcus I am realising more as each day passes how much better I am feeling. My posture is improving and my back is feeling fine now. Recently I went on a singing tour in Rome, where the hours were long and I was standing for all the concerts and on my feet for most of the day. Many of the choir, who were younger than I, were complaining about their backs, but mine was fine. Recently you have been working more on my neck and shoulders and I am noticing great improvements there also. I am more aware of my condition and have begun to include stretches in my daily routine when I am teaching music at school and this has helped me. I am sleeping more comfortably and driving the car with more ease and my neck is becoming more flexible. I have also noticed an improvment in my painful knees.... but do not know if this due to the treatment or the weather! I so look forward to my treatment once a week, especially that massage machine!!

After only six treatments with Dr Marcus Liebling I feel that I have been released from a cage; the cage being my own bones. I have had neck pain for over 10 years and suffered with other complaints for longer. I now have much more freedom of movement in my neck and head and shoulders. I also feel straighter when walking. Above all I just feel better generally.
I intend to maintain this level of fitness with Dr Marcus’ advice.

I wish I had sought the care of a chiropractor a long time ago but better late than never!
I felt quite lucky that I'd reached my fifties without ever 'needing' a chiropractor but when I did decide to contact someone about pain in my pelvis I wasn't sure what to expect. Many people do not realise how chiropractors work to improve well-being by firstly correcting problems with the spine and related tissue.
I have enjoyed learning more about health and well-being and chiropractic from the emails and while Marcus has been adjusting my bones and muscles. I feel so much better in my general health now that I am nearly pain free and would thoroughly recommend becoming a client. I have recommended him to family and friends, including my daughter.
Thank you again Marcus.

Dear Marcus,
When I first visited you as a patient in April 2008 I was in a lot of pain, with my neck, back, and knee problems. I had a very unstable structure physically, plus emotional stress problems, due to my bereavement; the loss of my husband.
After 3 months of treatment, I am feeling so much better due to your excellent care and treatment. I am very sad that you that you have left the Radlett Practice but wish you all the very best in Corfe Mullen and Merley. Our loss is their gain. I will come and see you next time I am in Bournemouth.
Susan Levy, St. Albans and Sandbanks
Marcus, when I first came to see you I had suffered from lower back pain for about twelve years. I also have had arthritis in my neck for approximately six years. The pain and tension from my neck gave me constant headaches. I still have some neck pain but my headache went from day one. I did not realise how stiff my joints were until I started treatment. My right hand grip was poor and painful but that is starting to improve. My joints feel more flexible and supple. I confidently have recommended you to a number of my friends and family. Thank You!
