I was in agony from plantar fasciitis when I first visited Gary. Fast forward four sessions of shockwave therapy and the searing pain has all but gone. I couldn't be more grateful to him after months of absolute misery. I highly recommend his treatment for any fellow PF sufferers.

Amazing, through this lockdown period I’ve had nothing but trouble with my back. On leaving a session I always feel so much better. No one better than Imogen. Very professional and makes sense of it all for you. Imogen is the one!

Wonderful. I have been twice now, have to stop attending for a bit due to Covid. I was treated by Imogen, not only is she friendly and professional but she also made me feel very comfortable. She talked me through the treatment and worked wonders for my back. I can’t wait to go back.
