Patient testimonials
“This service has helped me reinforcing motivation and to take it step by step to improve muscle tone and to relieve the pain in my right knee. Also what to do when it flares up and not to give up and not to stop completely and work up the stages of exercises again. A very pleasant experience and the instructor was very helpful.”
“Because I have benefited so much from my treatment. Pain has been reduced, mobility increased and general well-being improved. Mark is a very professional young man who ran the course so I never became bored! To the amusement of my friends and family.. i can say i enjoyed this course.”
“I have felt much better and more confident- able to give something a try- also due to the social side at being able to discuss difficulties with other people who have the same problems.”
“Enjoyed the class, would do again- Mark was really good.”
