Thanks to my first session with John this afternoon my neck pain has significantly improved. Professional, friendly and was seen straight away! Highly recommended
Been to see John this morning with lower back pain and struggling to walk. John talked me through the problem I was having, then started to work on my back. I now have a lot more movement and less pain, back to see him later this week. Excellent service!
Jack totally sorted out my torn quad. Gave me a fab rehab plan and finally got me back to running again! Excellent service, he went above and beyond what I expected and will definitely go back if I get injured again. Excellent.
