I spent a fortune over 10 years and even had appointments re only step I had left to consider, surgery..... after suffering awful with chronic tennis elbow. I decided to try one last physio as I had been interested in Don for a while, but reluctant. He was brilliant, 95% improvement in my therapy. I would strongly recommend Don for this ailment .

He was really helpful. Gave me much appreciated advice. Wish he was nearer i would so love to be in his care. Such a genuine person. I do hope i can get to him for a complete overall. I trust this man and his advice. He deserves more than a 5 star. Shane Keogh2023-09-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend Dom enough. I injured my trap in the gym and couldn't straighen my neck, was in bits, very uncomfortable. Rang him and he was able to squeeze me in within a few hours. While he was treating my shoulder I mentioned an ongoing issue with my elbow and he said we may aswell sort that too. Immediate relief on both when finished. An absolute gentleman to deal with. Recommend 100%. Jessie Skehan2023-05-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had serious pain in my legs for over 6 years, I have had bone density scans, blood tests, specialists and even put on hrt, all to no avail, gave up on finding out what was wrong until I went to Don, found him by accident, but what a find. 6 weeks in and the results are amazing, diagnosed me in the first 5 minutes of the consultation and the pain is decreasing every week. I would highly recommend Don, 5 stars isn't enough!! ann o'mahony2023-05-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
