Report
I have been seeing Ian for over ten years, initially for chronic headaches which were resolved, later for support on rehabilitation following a leg fracture. His expertise and knowledge are excellent. He always takes time to fully understand the situation and is a very supportive practitioner.

Report
For over 18 months I have been suffering from a tight IT band, knee and back problems. Ian gave me a thorough consultation followed by some extremely effective treatment. I cannot recommend Ian more highly.

Report
I have been going to Ian for close to 5 years for various treatments and cannot praise him enough. I have been so impressed that I have referred numerous colleagues one who had shoulder problems for 2 years. When I asked what he thought after his treatment "that Mans is like God with his hands"
