Our Clients Say...

"I cannot recommend enough this center and Eamon in particular! I visited the center in horrible pain for a problem at the neck and shoulder and Eamon, not only helped me but was able to explain to me exactly what was happening. When you know and understand what is going on and why your body reacts like that, it is much easier to avoid putting your body in difficult positions so you don't feel pain anymore. Better, he taught how to re-educate my body to make it forget years of bad habits! On top of being a great physiotherapist, Eamon is a wonderful human being that understands what his patients are going through and can find the right words to help them feel better. I cannot thank him enough for getting me out of this hell and avoiding much worse complications that could have ended up with surgery. Thank you Eamon! You're the best!"
