Celebrating a Proud Moment for Riviera Wellbeing
We are delighted to announce that Riviera Wellbeing – Chiropractic and Wellness Centre has been awarded Small Business of the Year at the 2026 Torbay Business Awards, organised by Torbay Council.
The awards ceremony took place on 5th June 2026 at the Riviera International Centre in Torquay, bringing together some of the most successful and inspiring businesses from across the Bay. To be recognised amongst such a strong field of local businesses is a tremendous honour and a moment of great pride for our entire team.
Since opening our doors in 2014, our mission has remained simple: to help people live healthier, more active and more comfortable lives through exceptional healthcare and outstanding patient experiences. Winning Small Business of the Year is a wonderful recognition of that commitment and reflects the trust that thousands of patients have placed in us over the years.
What Makes This Award So Special?
The Torbay Business Awards celebrate excellence, innovation and contribution to the local community. The Small Business of the Year category (sponsored by the Torbay Business Forum) recognises organisations that demonstrate exceptional service, sustainable growth, strong leadership and a positive impact on the people they serve.
As a healthcare business, our success is measured differently from many other organisations. While growth and innovation are important, our greatest achievement is helping patients overcome pain, improve mobility, recover from injury and regain confidence in their health.
Being recognised with this award confirms that the values which have guided Riviera Wellbeing for more than a decade continue to make a difference to our patients and our community.
A Recognition of Outstanding Patient Care
At the heart of everything we do is patient care.
Every member of our team shares a commitment to delivering professional, evidence-informed treatment while ensuring every patient feels listened to, understood and supported.
Whether someone visits us with back pain, neck pain, headaches, sports injuries, joint problems or ongoing musculoskeletal concerns, our aim is always the same:
- To understand the individual behind the symptoms.
- To provide clear and honest advice.
- To create personalised treatment plans.
- To help patients achieve long-term improvements rather than short-term fixes.
Healthcare is ultimately about people, and we believe that taking the time to build relationships and trust with our patients is one of the reasons so many choose Riviera Wellbeing and continue recommending us to friends and family.
Thank You to Our Patients
While our team may have collected the award, this achievement belongs just as much to our patients.
Every review, recommendation and referral has played a role in helping Riviera Wellbeing grow into the clinic it is today.
We are incredibly proud to have received more than 364 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating, reflecting the experiences of patients who have chosen to share their journeys with others.
These reviews provide valuable feedback for our team, help prospective patients make informed decisions and continually motivate us to maintain the highest standards of care.
We would like to thank every patient who has trusted us with their health and wellbeing. Your support, loyalty and encouragement have been instrumental in our success.
Continually Improving the Patient Experience
One of the factors recognised by the award judges was our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation.
Healthcare is constantly evolving, and we believe that clinics should evolve too.
Over the years, Riviera Wellbeing has continually invested in new technologies, improved systems and enhanced patient services to make accessing care easier, more convenient and more effective.
Innovation does not always mean introducing something entirely new. Often it means finding better ways to communicate, educate and support patients throughout their healthcare journey.
By continually listening to patient feedback and embracing improvements, we strive to create an experience that is not only clinically effective but also welcoming, reassuring and patient-centred.
The Importance of a Great Team
No business wins an award like this through the efforts of one individual.
This recognition reflects the dedication, professionalism and compassion shown by every member of the Riviera Wellbeing team.
From our practitioners and therapists to our reception and support staff, each person plays an important role in ensuring patients receive the highest level of service.
Their commitment to excellence, ongoing professional development and genuine desire to help others have been central to our success.
We are incredibly grateful for everything they do each day.
Looking Ahead
Winning Small Business of the Year is a milestone worth celebrating, but it is also motivation to continue improving.
As we look towards the future, we remain committed to:
- Delivering outstanding patient care.
- Investing in our team and facilities.
- Embracing innovation where it benefits patients.
- Expanding access to high-quality healthcare services.
- Continuing to support the health and wellbeing of our local community.
The healthcare needs of our community continue to evolve, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead as we build upon the strong foundations established over the last twelve years.
A Final Thank You
Receiving the Small Business of the Year award at the 2026 Torbay Business Awards is a tremendous honour.
It reflects the hard work of our team, the loyalty of our patients and the support of the wider community that has helped Riviera Wellbeing grow over the past twelve years.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the organisers of the Torbay Business Awards, the judging panel, our dedicated team and, most importantly, our patients.
We look forward to continuing to serve the people of Torbay for many years to come.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
