"Just a message of thanks to Alan... his explanations, recommendations and subsequent treatment has made a real difference. I feel so much better. I went to A&E and had physio after a motorbike accident two years ago, yet no one offered me an xray or tried to find out what the problem was. I am so glad Alan was recommended to me and I will be recommending him to others from now on. Thanks again, Alison"
