I have bought products from Back in Action before really being looked after.
This time was no different. I was well looked after and bought another pair of MBT shoes.
Thank you.

Excellent friendly service

Excellent friendly service. Received the delivery of the Mobiliser bench the day after placing the order. I’ve had the actual Mobiliser for over 15 years and it’s still going strong without a glitch. A great business with friendly people who know what they’re on about.

Expertise and outstanding service

I can thoroughly recommend Back in Action, and particularly the service offered by Fiona. I procure office chairs for staff with various requirements, and the feedback I receive about the consultations and products purchased is excellent. The right chair can be absolutely transformative for staff and I know I can rely on Fiona's expertise.

Thank you to the Back In Action team

Thank you to the Back In Action team. I called for advice on a home office chair that could help me stay comfortable for long periods with a bad back. My Hag chair arrived the day after and I am delighted with it. I've used Back in Action over the years and I would recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic and genuinely caring company

I cannot recommend Back in action highly enough. The staff truly seem to care about helping people who struggle through back pain and it never feels like it is about money.
I use their mobiliser product and it is helping greatly in relieving years of pain and stiffness. The diary you keep while using the product has also been very helpful and I have had answers to any questions replied to within hours. If you have long term back pain pop in to the store as the staff are very knowledgeable.

Thank you for your lovely 5 star review Steve - the Mobiliser is indeed a great product - sometimes it can be difficult to explain the difference it can make especially to understandably cautious back pain sufferers - and, as you point out, using it in one of our stores with knowledgeable staff in attendance is a great way of experiencing its effects and asking questions. Thank you for your comments regarding our great staff they will be delighted.
