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.

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
