CORPORATE FITNESS
Some of my clients suffer from chronic headaches, neck and back pain which can be down to the stressful nature of a demanding career, working or studying long hours, sat in the same position at desk or in front of a computer. This can often result in tiredness, muscle weaknesses and illness. If left unchecked, it can become a complex issue causing dysfunction and resulting in time off from work.

It was a pleasure to have him treat me in my home." (David Coordinator)
