Pain, Performance, and Physiotherapy.
No matter if you are a seasoned athlete or training to run in your first-ever marathon, pain and injury can be a crushing blow. It may feel like you will never be able to compete or train hard again, but pain is just a message to decode.

Gregg is the definition of a highly skilled professional and this is coming from a doctor. He fixed my workout injury (epicondylitis) after 1 visit and thanks to him I was back in action in no time!
I would definitely be back for any future issues.
Gregg is a great physio! He is very good at determining the cause of an issue and helping to fix it. He was also able to give me a personal swimming lesson which helped to take 2mins of my triathlon swim time. I can highly recommend Gregg.
