Just had an appointment with Graeme. I contacted him very last minute when travelling through the area. I walked in with some intense neck and shoulder pain and very little range of motion. I have now returned home, with no pain (tightness and discomfort still lingering obviously), movement, and some homework to help things along. For one appointment I could not be more impressed! A genuinely lovely guy, who seemed interested in me and invested in helping me. Thank you Graeme! I will be back for any future ailments - despite the travelling distance!![]()

Nothing but positive things to say. I put my back out and was struggling to even walk. Graeme was very welcoming, assessed the situation, proceeded with a back adjustment, and I walked out feeling much better. I went in struggling to walk, and walked out just fine. Thank you Graeme. I highly recommend.![]()

Contacted Graham 2 weeks ago, was in quite a lot of discomfort in upper back area that came on suddenly. Was limiting my exercise and general day to day tasks. He identified the issue (poor posture while gaming!!) and within 3 well priced appointments over 2 weeks I am now feeling better than ever. Excellent chiropractor.![]()
