What patients say about Abdul
Linda H ★★★★★I first visited Abdul a few years ago with numbness in my hand which I had for a long time. He quickly diagnosed the problem started from my neck and after a few sessions I was pain free. This has been maintained by regular visits. I recently had severe pain in my upper leg which Abdul managed to pinpoint and treat immediately although I had suffered on and off for months. I cannot recommend him highly enough and also the pre-treatment massages from his team. Always professional and accommodating while taking a holistic approach to treatment.
Andrew M ★★★★★I couldn’t give a better rating for Abdul and his team Traveling from Australia I hurt my back golfing. They fitted me in at very short notice and got me moving again
Sue B ★★★★★Had treatment from Abdul and Ian who corrected the pain I had in my shoulder. Excellent practice.
Ronald H ★★★★★Abdul and his team provide good treatment facilities and are very friendly and helpful.
