More about what our patients say about us
I have been using the Osteopathic Centre for quite a while now and their service has always been first class. With any injury you always fear the worst but they seem to alleviate any fears with a clear and understandable diagnosis of what is wrong. They treatment they give along with exercises you do to aid recovery is always spot on. Very friendly and have recommended them to many friends and family.
