Report
I have had outstanding care from David. His expertise was clear from the initial assessment. He has given me clear advice and support at every step. I am now back running and would not be had it not been for his intervention. Highly recommended.

Report
I herniated my lower back disc in May this year. After an injection was recommended to see Dave and Rachael at the clinic. Their care has been fantastic. The whole approach, encouragement and treatment has been tremendous. The leg pain is definitely resolving. I will be carrying on prophylactic care with them both for physio and Pilates. I could not recommend them enough. Simon Falk
