Went to see George recently with a bad shoulder injury - he identified the issue right away, gave me treatment and some great advice on how to recover as quickly as possible. I only needed to see George twice and I'm already back training.
George is clearly extremely knowledgable and professional, couldn't recommend highly enough.

Came to see George with a painful calf prevented me running & received an excellent analysis and treatment which got me back running again. Loved the environment and felt welcomed from the first contact with Sylvia and Louise. George was excellent and would recommend.

George is amazingly knowledgeable and his treatment of me on two separate occasions was first class. One injury was a back injury and the other for my achillies. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

MIGRAINE RELIEF
I suffer seriously from Migraine headaches. To such an extent that I am dizzy, violently sick and unable to stand or function at all when they are at their worst. They hugely effected my quality of life both personal and professional. After many, years, many different treatments, prescription medications and a lot of money spent, nothing I tried got on top of my situation completely, causing great anxiety along with the pain. I was recommended George through a friend who had recently experienced a similar attack to the ones Id been experiencing most of my working life.

I called George's practise on a Saturday morning to make an appointment as I had acute back pain. He had a spare 30mins before his first appointment and offered the chance to see him straight away. He identified the problem within 5 mins and and after the 30 mins I was standing up straight and on my way home. Thankyou George!

Absolutely fantastic service and treatment. I felt comfortable and welcome in the clinic, it had a lovely warm feel and I was instantly put at ease.
Sylvia was amazing at pin pointing the issue and discussing this with George. George and Sylvia worked brilliantly together to get a perfect result. I will be back & this time not in so much pain!!
