✨ Special Visitors at Back in Shape ✨

We were delighted to welcome the Mayor and Mayoress of Test Valley to our clinic this week! 🎉

They joined us to learn more about the services we offer our community here in Andover, meet our amazing team, and congratulate our Practice Manager, Emma — recently named Young Business Person of the Year at the Test Valley Business Awards. 🏆

It was a real privilege to share our story, our vision for helping Andover thrive, and the passion that drives everything we do.

We’re so proud to be part of such a supportive local community and grateful for the recognition and encouragement from the Mayor and Mayoress. 💙💗

🌟🚴‍♀️ She did it! 🚴‍♀️🌟

Huge congratulations to Cydney, who smashed the London to Brighton ride last weekend in under 5 hours! 💪🔥

Not only is that an incredible achievement, but she also raised over £900 for the Epilepsy Society, a cause very close to her heart. 💜

A massive thank you to everyone who donated and supported her — your kindness and encouragement made all the difference. 💙💗

After sharing the stage with Henry from nibulatreats at the Test Valley Business Awards on Monday, he kindly popped by this week with some of his amazing hampers for our team! 🎁

They’ve gone down an absolute treat (pun intended!) and we feel so lucky to be surrounded by such supportive and generous local businesses.

If you’re looking for beautiful, thoughtful hampers, from a local business, I can’t recommend Nibula Treats enough — get in touch with them for all your gifting needs!

✨ Proud moment alert! ✨

I’m delighted to share that Emma has been awarded the Young Business Person Award at the Test Valley Business Awards.

She feels incredibly grateful to be part of such a supportive community, surrounded by like-minded, health-driven individuals who inspire her every day.

The award was judged by a panel from Stannah Group, Andover — to be recognised by such an established and respected business is truly an honour, and one Emma is very proud of.

A special mention goes to Harvey from Top Dog Hydrotherapy and Henry from Nibula Treats, the other nominees. As someone at the upper end of the “young” spectrum, we can confidently say the future of business in the Test Valley is in safe hands with bright talents like you leading the way.

This award also shines a light on the incredible work of the team at Back in Shape Chiropractic. Every day, we’re committed to giving our community the tools, confidence, and support to thrive — and we couldn’t do it without such a dedicated and passionate group around us.

Finally, a huge thank you to the Test Valley Business Awards team for hosting such a wonderful evening. ♥️

Stay tuned for more content over the next few days!

✨ Front Desk Team Update at Back in Shape ✨

This week we’re saying a big good luck (and a slightly tearful goodbye!) to Emily, who’s heading back to university to continue her studies. Emily has been a brilliant part of our front desk team over the summer — keeping things running smoothly and making patients feel so welcome. Thank you, Emily, and best of luck with your course — we’ll miss you! 💙

At the same time, we’re very excited to welcome Robin, who joins us as our new Business Administration Apprentice. Robin will be helping out on the front desk and behind the scenes, learning the ropes of clinic life while studying towards her qualification. Please give her a warm welcome when you see her at reception! 🌟

Back in Shape is all about people, and we feel lucky to have had Emily with us and to have Robin joining our team.

✨This week our team had the joy of a sound workshop with the wonderful Sandie from Inner Guide. Using chimes, drums and bowls, she helped us reconnect, restore and find a little balance.

We each experienced something unique – from deep calm to surprising bursts of energy – and everyone left feeling beautifully zen. 🌿

Sandie runs workshops in Barton Stacey and Ludgershall, so if you’d like to explore the magic of sound yourself, you can reach her on 07834 208550 or visit 👉 www.innerguide.co.uk
