John treated me for shoulder pain that I have had on and off for years. He helped ease the pain with dry needling and exercises and promptly referred me on to Orthopaedics when the pain didn’t resolve completely. John’s professionalism and quick action for my treatment ensured my pain was reduced and I was directed on the right path for recovery. Thanks again John, I’d definitely recommend to a friend!

Margaret Walker
