‘Brett was recommended by a friend at school who competes at an international level in tennis. Having suffered from back pain for many years, it took many failed physios before we finally met Brett who immediately got me on a path to expert diagnosis and a path to recovery. His expert knowledge of maximizing athlete performance, whilst nurturing injury, has meant I have been able to continue to compete at the highest level in all my sports during my recovery.

I would highly recommend anyone to see Brett. His sessions are inspirational and incredibly motivational to help get me back to full fitness’.
