Chris Opie

I have had a few ongoing issues in the past years, but with the exercises shown to me by Scott, coupled with the bike fitting service he provides I am no longer suffering from any localised pain whilst exercising. He is easy to talk to and took his time to put me at ease. I…

Katie Walker

I have seen Scott twice for a TT bike fit as he was highly recommend. I am a triathlete and he has set up my bike in a great position to be faster, more aero dynamic & comfortable to run well off the bike! Cheer Katie on here: instagram.com

Vin Cox

Had a sore elbow for 6 weeks which was getting worse… then Scott worked his magic and gave me therapy and exercises to fix it. A chronic problem which was causing daily pain is now just not an issue! tandemists.com

Really fantastic service. I booked in here because the NHS are so overrun my appointments weren’t soon enough. I was feeling so much more confident after my 30 minute appointment and have seen great improvements from the exercises and advice given. Thank you so much.
