Mark completed a thorough assessment of my problem/injury. Thoroughly examined my knee and treated it accordingly. I was shown relevant exercises to help with my recovery- and these exercises were also sent to me by email, for reference. I felt completely at ease during my appointment. I felt well looked after and was also advised to let the clinic know how I am doing after treatment has finished- and if needed he would see me again if necessary.
