- I found Matthew whose solution was brilliant to my ongoing ankle problem. He re-positioned my ankle to give freedom of movement & I am now able to walk pain-free.Last month I went to Rome & walked 60K steps. Thank you Matthew I am eternally grateful!
- This was an online appointment so I can't rate the centre facilities. Mr Solan was a bit late starting but immensely reassuring and professional.
