Spinal Rehabilitation
Spinal rehabilitation – ‘enabling you to be your best’
The philosophy behind our Spinal Rehabilitation Course
At Riviera Wellbeing we truly believe in helping you to be your best. This doesn’t simply mean releasing tight joints and relaxing tight muscles. Wherever possible and practical, we want to arm our patients with the knowledge needed to help strengthen their bodies and to keep them that way through sensible lifestyle choices and exercise.
In doing this we have developed something unique in South Devon – a Chiropractic clinic which offers bespoke and tailored rehabilitation courses at affordable prices.
About our Spinal Rehabilitation course
Our course is unique in that for £60 for 6 weeks (comparable to many pilates, yoga and exercise classes), you will receive a detailed assessment and a prescriptive set of personalised exercises to help you achieve your goals.
Over the following 5 weeks, you will be taught exactly how to perform the programme, until you are confident and safe in your abilities. As your strength and technique develop, your programme will be developed and enhanced as necessary.
This style of close monitoring from highly trained experts means that this programme is ideally suited to:
those that have had severe back problems in the past and need help and guidance moving forward
those who are in a good state of physical fitness, but who get recurrent ‘niggles’ and injuries.
This programme is tailored to suit you – whatever your level of ability, and is designed to educate and reassure, so that you can continue towards your goals (whether that be just a pain-free existence, or heightened sporting performance).
At the end of the course, you will be re-assessed and provided with feedback and advice – allowing you to continue on your journey.
Once you have completed the initial 6-week course, we offer the opportunity for you to drop-in on any of our sessions on an ad-hoc basis, should you need further advice or help.
Some people have loved, and benefited from the course so much that they have signed up for the full 6-week course more than once!

Led by Chiropractor Paul Hindle (DC) and supported by Natasha Harris (DC) ; we offer a 6 week specific spinal rehabilitation course. Both instructors are qualified Chiropractors, with years of experience in treating and managing spinal-related conditions.
Frequently asked questions about Spinal Rehab
What is the Spinal Rehab course?
Spinal Rehab is a 6-week exercise programme to strengthen your back and improve your posture. It’s built around your own goals, whether that’s living without back pain or performing better at your sport. It’s run by chiropractors Paul Hindle and Natasha Harris.
How does the course work?
Spinal Rehab is a small group class, but your exercises and advice are tailored to you one-to-one. Week 1 is a detailed assessment, after which you’re given a personalised exercise plan. Over the next 5 weeks, you learn to do your programme safely, and it’s adjusted as your strength and technique improve. At the end, you’re reassessed and given feedback and advice to carry on with.
When does Spinal Rehab run?
Classes run on Wednesday evenings, with a choice of 6.30pm or 7.30pm.
What should I wear or bring?
Wear comfortable clothes you can move freely in, and trainers. Bring a bottle of water.
Who is Spinal Rehab for?
It suits most people, at any fitness level, including:
- people with a history of back problems who want to prevent them coming back
- fit, active people who keep getting niggles or injuries
- anyone with ongoing aches and pains, or who wants to stay strong and mobile as they get older
How much does Spinal Rehab cost?
The full 6-session course costs £60, with each session lasting 60 minutes. That’s less than many pilates, yoga or gym classes.
What happens after the course ends?
You can drop in to any session afterwards for advice or a check on your technique for £15 a session. You’re also welcome to repeat the full course.
