Simply excellent. My son had his first appointment last week for shoulder pain. Tom conducted a thorough assessment and provided targeted stretches and exercises. He explained everything in detail and made sure we understood everything completely. Stretches and exercises are easy to do with items we already have at home. Would definitely recommend.Posted on S GreenwoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
