Fantastic service offered here, I was very fortunate that Jade on reception helped me to get an appointment at very short notice ( in fact the podiatrist Joanna gave up her tea break to see me) , the service/care given and value for money were second to none I cant rate them highly enough.

Jade at the Heeler Centre looks after me, I cycle a lot and I need constant massage and treatment, there is no better place to go to get the treatment you need. Jade is first class at sports massage and her diagnosis of specific injury is second to none. This is the place to get the treatment you need. Oh and the reception staff are brilliant, always a helpful text to remind you of your next appointment.

I have been attending the Heeler Centre for over 10 years for my Podiatry needs. Jo Turns and her team are all so good at that they do, and so friendly with it. The whole vibe of the Heeler Centre is welcoming and friendly.

There is lots I love about the HC but their main thing for me is the 'one-stop-shop' aspect. There are a range of very experienced, committed specialists who know their stuff and are straight forward about what treatment you need. If you go thinking you need an Osteopath but actually you need a sports massage or whatever, they will tell you and refer you in house. It's a really honest, efficient way of getting to the bottom of your particular issue. Also, they don't book you in for sessions you don't really need, which some do. Every staff member I have encountered has been experienced, professional

Really looking forward to Jade working her magic in July. You do not realise how much you need a Sports Massage until you've been without one for 3 months. It will be good to catch up with the receptionists, who make you feel very welcome and at ease. The Heeler Centre was one of the best recommendations I have received.
