Sarah undertook a course of treatment that was able to fit in around my cycling even highlighting exercises I could do when on my bike!! Or when stopped. My neck is now much better and would and do recommend United Health to people with physio needs.

The service Sarah delivers is first rate, very professional but also very personal, she is very much focused on resolving your issue.I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone seeking Physiotherapy services.
