This was a telephone review following treatment to both Achillies over the past 8 weeks using High Volume tendon injection - I can only describe the difference this treatment has made as miraculous. Now I will have to keep up with the exercises and continue to build strength, so that I can get back to the hill walking I enjoy 👍

I had an excellent experience with Mr Stapleton and would highly recommend him. I went with a painful lump under my right foot that had been causing discomfort when walking. Mr Stapleton was very professional and knowledgeable and took the time to explain clearly what the problem was, why it had developed and the treatment options available. An excellent practitioner that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
