People we've helped

I was experiencing pain in my right shoulder and the consultant has helped me understand why and how to avoid this issue. The service goes beyond just those basic needs and has given me a clearer understanding of how to stay more flexible, increasing my comfort and happiness. My consultant is Mr. Haseeb. I recommend him highly.

Great physiotherapist. Been coming here for a year! Madeline is very kind and approachable and explains exercises very clearly. Have seen a marked improvement in my performance since then.

Wan Hui is dedicated and professional. Her assessments are tailored to my needs and i have learnt a lot in just 2 sessions with her! I strongly recommend seeing her to learn more about conditioning the body in preparation for labour and motherhood.

Brought my son here three years ago for torticollis treatment and he improved a lot. Now I’m back for hip labral tear therapy and I really laud City Osteo’s professionalism and commitment to my progress and healing. I love working with Naveen and he really helped me minimize my hip pain.

My life saviour!! This guy is the only person able to fix whatever pain/ injury I ever have on my muscles!! I always recommend him to all my loved ones and everyone has always thanked me for such a great recommendation!!

Helped immensely with chronic neck and shoulder pain, as well as with lower back pain. Treatment included combination of in clinic treatment plus at home exercises to strengthen supporting muscles. Seeks to address the root issue which I greatly appreciate .
