Lindsey was absolutely fantastic; very knowledgeable, extremely thorough and more importantly, very informative. She was here for a very long time taking down history and then assessing our son. She even followed up the appointment with an email for referrals to specialists for our GP. We were very impressed, and taking into account we have probably seen over half a dozen different physiotherapists over the years, she is by far the best we have seen. The rest of your therapists have a lot to keep up to to match her standards. Thank you so much for Lindsey.

Tori Healey was brilliant. She is great with children, very knowledgeable, practical and was focused and firm while being playful. She was very flexible with times and days of appointments. She achieved great results, much better than I was expecting – we owe her a big debt for getting our son’s arm back to full working order.
