Our Story
In 2016, Joshua Smith and Rosie Smith noticed a significant shift in how people approach their health and seek help. They noticed many people’s wants were just not being met by the ‘old world thinking’ of the traditional healthcare model, of ‘one size fits all’ just ‘treating symptoms’ approach that is just not valid for the current 21st-century epidemic of stress-related and lifestyle problems that are now so common.
So many people are stressed out, hurting and feel like crap and find it difficult to understand who they should see for their health concerns, and this is a frustration Josh and Rosie share with many people.
Born from frustration, driven by a passion, In 2018 they founded Life Balance Chiropractic. A happy healing place to make your body a better place to be. With the best chiropractors, massage therapists deliver clinical results supported through a world-class differentiated client experience.
Life Balance Chiropractic is becoming known for the success of its clients, and because of you, this drives them to lead the conversation on why taking care of your body and nervous system is essential to daily life throughout life. This excites Life Balance Chiropractic very much.

Maria Luisa Bartlett de Isaacs29 September 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
My daughter sent me information about Life Balance Chiropractic Centre in Poole, Dorset about 6 weeks ago because she was aware of my constant neck, shoulder and arm pain. After the initial consultation and x-rays, the chiropractor practitioner Dr Chris, started to treat me twice weekly. Within a week I started feeling better and after 6 weeks of treatment, I can now say I am nearly pain free and I have better movement in my arm and neck. I also went to improve my posture, although it is improving with the treatment, still an ongoing process, but overall my quality of life has improved significantly. I had never been to a chiropractor before, so I was unsure what to expect. The sessions are short and powerful, the body is adjusting and healing after each session. Sometimes improvements are nearly instant and other times they take longer. I can highly recommend to anyone who has spinal issues and is looking for an alternative way of healing and improving their health.Posted on Google![]()

I first came to Life Balance because I was falling over a lot. When I fell down twice in one day I knew I had to do something about it. A colleague had been having treatment with Life Balance and I had watched his back pain improve over time so I made my first appointment with Harrison. I had an xray which showed I had a twist in the bottom of my spine and this needed correcting. I also had extreme pain in my lower back when I got out of bed in the mornings and I had to wait for this to subside before I could stand and walk about. I signed up for treatment and now over three years later I am pain free in my back and I haven't fallen over since I started. After starting with multiple visits a week I am now out to two monthly visits to check I am still ok and correct any other problems that turn up with life. I am now pain free in the mornings, my sleep pattern is so much better and I can look forward to walking correctly for the rest of my life. I will continue to travel from Wimborne to Poole as although I had already been seeing Chiropractors for the past 50 years it wasn't until I went to Life Balance that I got a solution. I am very grateful to Harrison for giving me the quality of life I now have.Posted on Google![]()

I went to Life Balance with lower back pain and tightness in this area. After several months of chiropractic treatment the pain has gone, and my flexibility has increased. The team were fantastic, friendly, easy to talk to, always happy to answer any questions and arrange appointments around my busy work and personal schedule. Most importantly, im delighted with the results, and how I feel now, that have enabled me to continue my sporting interests. Thank you Life Balance!Posted on Google![]()

I’ve been treated for 10 months now and I could not speak more highly of the wonderful clinical team as well as the smiley faces on the front. I have seen significant neurological changes from issues that I have had long term. My recovery, mobility and strength has also all increased as a result of the treatment. Health should always be the priority and this team have transformed mine. Get yourself booked in!!Posted on Google![]()

Since having my daughter, my hips had never felt quite right. I’d also developed a sharp pain around my left shoulder blade and a stiff neck, which was probably not helped by constantly carrying and picking up my very clingy toddler! It had started to affect more than I realised. Housework was uncomfortable, looking after the children felt harder, and being in pain was beginning to affect my mood. I’d even started avoiding certain everyday movements because I was worried I might hurt myself. Someone recommended Life Balance Chiropractic and spoke so highly of the team that I decided to give them a try. I travel from West Parley for my appointments, and it has genuinely been worth the journey. From the beginning, I was really impressed by the new client process. I felt properly listened to, rather than rushed through an appointment, and everything felt personal, smooth and thorough. Seeing my X-rays was particularly helpful because it gave me a much clearer understanding of what was going on. The findings were explained in a way that made sense, and I could finally see why certain things might have been contributing to the way I felt. I started noticing a difference after my first two sessions. Before coming to Life Balance, I would wake up several times during the night in pain and assume I must have slept awkwardly. Recently, I slept through the entire night for the first time in ages. That might sound like a small thing, but when you have young children, waking up with more energy and less pain makes a huge difference. I’m no longer in pain while looking after the house and the children, and picking up my toddler feels so much easier. Harrison is an amazing and incredibly precise chiropractor. Chris has also been brilliant, particularly when working on my hips. He is extremely thorough and pays attention to how my whole body is responding, including muscles and areas I would never have thought were connected. There have been areas that felt incredibly tense before an adjustment and noticeably more relaxed afterwards. I’ve really appreciated that they don’t just focus on the one place that hurts. They look at the bigger picture. The biggest change is that I feel much more confident in my body again. I’m no longer avoiding normal, everyday things because I’m frightened I’ll hurt myself. Being in less pain and sleeping better has made family life feel much easier and more manageable. Everyone at Life Balance is warm, welcoming and genuinely personal. The team always greets me by name, and you never feel like you’re simply the next appointment in the diary. You feel properly cared for. I would absolutely recommend Life Balance Chiropractic in Poole, especially to other mums who haven’t felt quite right since giving birth. For me, making the journey is a complete no-brainer.Posted on Google![]()

I have been going to life balance Chiro now for 9 weeks. All the staff are very professional and really friendly. From my first appointment dr Chris and the team have been working on my back issues and I’m feeling the benefits. Things are finally moving in the right direction and I appreciate this will take time but with their continued treatment I’m very positive of the outcome.
