Shoulder injury while on holiday in the UK
I fell down stairs and badly hurt my neck and shoulder. I saw Gin, who took time to assess and understand my injury before providing some great relief. Really great service.
Mummy MOT was fantastic!
Had a Mummy MOT appointment with Rhian yesterday and it was great. Rhian was friendly, knowledgable and empathetic. The assessment was very thorough and left me feeling reassured and confident to get back to training safely. Thank you!
Magic hands
Booked on the off chance with Ben and I am so glad I did. He is absolutely amazing, he knew exactly what was wrong with my back and gave me plenty of exercises to do at home. His massages are so relaxing. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him
Professional, knowledgeable and kind
I visited Gin following an injury to my ankle. Gin took the time to really listen to my concerns and provided a thorough assessment together with a ln explanation of what had happened. She offered sound advice and guidance with regards to rehabilitation and reassuring words. Very grateful for her expertise and knowledge.
Virginia is a very knowledgable, kind and reassuring.
Gin assessed my knee injury. She performed a thorough examination, ruling out potential complications and giving clear explanations throughout. She was incredibly reassuring with her warm ,friendly manner. I left confident to exercise without any concerns.
