I was recommended to Kevin by my neighbour and was fortunate in being able to get an appointment within a very few days. I was walking skewed over and in some discomfort. From the very first minutes of enquiry and analysis it was absolutely clear that Kevin not only had enormous skill and experience but that he was an exceptionally warm and caring human being. The conversations over the course of my treatment were wide ranging and fascinating and I was delughted to hear that he was going to distil his experience and his holistic philosopy into a book. I shall be buying it today!! I should of course also add that the first exercises and then the development of his programme with the strengthening sequences were entirely successful and add up to a complete preventative process. I've since recommended him to my wife and to other friends. Coincidentally, we had a conversation last night with someone who was telling up about an extraordinarily successful physiotherapy treatment with a holistic... he got no further "that must have been Kevin" we chorused. And indeed it was! He confirmed that the lifestyle advice he'd received had led to a change of emphasis and a balancing approach to life and exercise. He hadn't needed to go back. So Kevin treats you, advises you, and in the nicest and most professionally wonderful way, provides you with the tools to never see him again. Thank you Kevin and I look forward to reading the book.

Kevin Hunt is one of the very best! His diagnosis was clear, his treatment effective, and his emphasis on the patient working hard on exercises between sessions was salutary. The clinic was always clean and friendly, and it's easy to get to. I can't recommend Kevin and his clinic more highly.

Really excellent, in only a few sessions (with additional exercises at home) I noticed a huge difference in my lower back. Charles felt extremely competent and knowledgeable. Can feel expensive but thankfully only 5 or 6 sessions were needed in my case, and at the end of the day worth every penny. Health is wealth! Thank you Fiona and Charles

I arrived for my first physio session due to a back injury and was probably at the lowest point in my life!. I had lost a lot of mobility and parts of my body was numb which was a real concern. Through continued sessions I have received physio treatment and was given a progressive exercise plan to follow which completely resolved my mobility and numbness issues. Furthermore to this I was equally impressed with the reassurance I received on each session, all my concerns and doubts were answered and I came out of each session happier. All I can say is thank you Charles
