What Our Customers Say
This week, for the first time I can remember, I have run without pain during a run or afterwards. I am feeling hopeful that I will finally achieve my goal of completing an ‘official’ half marathon next year
Professional, friendly and helped me significantly with my tail bone pain which I am so grateful.
I went to visit to see an injury that has troubled me for some time. Due to aggravation Phil saw me quickly and was very thorough, knowledgeable and understanding. Great help and quality service.
