I called on Physiocomestoyou because I had concerns about my 14 month old son's development. Within minutes of arriving at our home, Tori [Healey] had understood what the issue was and given it a name, which helped when talking to my GP and his nursery. Tori was friendly and professional. Se was great with my son despite the fact that he cried throughout the sessions. Tori showed me what to do with him and after only one session there was a difference and after three, he was much better. I really believe that my son would not have made the progress he did so quickly without the support of Tori.
