WHAT THEIR PATIENTS SAY
"With an inoperable spinal condition, and a reluctance to live on pain medication, I arrived here with significant back pain, in the hope of just getting some sort of relief.
I was immediately impressed by the professionalism of this clinic. The reception staff were very welcoming and helpful, inviting me to complete a medical form prior to my first appointment with Philip (qualified chiropractor) for an initial assessment.
Philip was very courteous, thorough and respectful, identifying the areas causing my pain, and clearly explaining the treatment he was recommending. From the first appointment I felt I was in safe hands, and could trust him.
After only a few appointments over these last weeks, I have experienced more and more pain relief.
Although my spinal condition can’t be reversed, I have recovered enough now to start physio led Pilates instruction from Sara McGowan for maintenance, mobility and strength. Sara also has a thorough knowledge as a qualified physiotherapist and Pilates instructor.
It is still a work in progress, but I feel safe there and so much more optimistic about increasing my mobility and being almost pain free in the future.
I am so very grateful I found this special clinic and would recommend it to anyone looking for caring and professional treatment in a safe environment."
