Our Services

I went to see Steven a few months ago in Lockdown for some very much needed treatment on my ankle. I took my chances after googling for shockwave therapies and Steve was more than helpful over the phone on an initial phone conversation and instantly put me at ease. Whilst attending treatment sessions, Steven was very tentative to my issues and always provided treatment in a safe and professional manner and always very friendly and caring. He was always very flexible with timings to fit in my schedule which allowed me to complete my treatment fully.
