Osteopathy I have visited Lisa at her clinic on a number of occasions. I used to do Ironman triathlons and now ultra running, so have used her services for hamstring, knee and Achilles problems and am very happy to recommend her. She explained clearly the issue, used many techniques including sport taping, massage and acupuncture. Price was fair.
