Thank you for your lovely 5 star review Jane - 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 have found, hiring is a great way of experiencing its effects and asking questions. Great to hear you have it ideally organised such that using it on the massage table makes daily use so easy! Enjoy the summer and thanks again!

Helpful staff; great products

We've bought a lot of products from Back in Action over the past few years. All are great quality. The staff have always been extremely helpful, friendly, interested and patient, both before and after the products have arrived. The Back in Action Mobiliser is great for relieving tension and encouraging movement; and the Dorsoo bed has helped tremendously, after many tries at other types of bed and mattress - such that I no longer wake up stiff and in pain. We also love our Stressless chairs, and appreciated BIA's expert advice on the best type for taller people - otherwise we might well have bought unwisely. I also have a lovely adjustable-height desk from BIA. The only bone to pick is that I've found it very challenging to find the right office chair, and BIA's 'active sitting' simply doesn't suit me, making me much more tense. I'm unsure why this is, but I've had to take their advice on this with a pinch of salt. That said, I appreciate having an office chair (the RH Logic) that gives me lots of options and avoids me getting stuck in one position all day.

Stephen advised me over the phone about which pillow would be most suitable. I was unable to try one in a shop. The order arrived quickly and was exactly what I needed. Highly recommend. Their service.

Excellent service

Visited London store 31 May & very helpful and courteous adviser assisted/advised me. I wanted to try out the varier (a HAG Capisco I'd bought from a different company wasn't suitable for my desk & caused back pain). I didn't buy a Varier from the shop that day but bought one online later. Its proved perfect! Customers services are so good in BackinAction shop & online - no pressure and really listen. Varier is a truly great chair. Highly recommend.

Thank you for your lovely review - the Variable is a great design and the most successful 'Balans' chair - as well as being exciting to look at (my opinion) it will reward you for many years. Our staff will be delighted that you have found the right solution and are happy with the advice they gave. Enjoy your chair!

Could not have been more helpful.

I bought a chair from their Marlow branch more than 20 years ago that now needed repair. When I enquired, I received a prompt call from their Amersham branch with advice. Once the chair had been repaired they delivered it to my home the next day. I don't see how they could have been any more helpful.

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.
