When I first met Jake at the clinic, he was very professional in the way he approached the area in pain. We had a consultation first where he asked for some more information on the injury so he could take the right steps in making my healing process the best it can be. … I would definitely recommend Jake! Not only is he professional and highly effective in what he does but he is understanding with a caring nature to support your recovery.

Can’t recommend Jake enough. Very professional and progressive with his approach – he helped me get back to playing full 90-minute matches after being out for 8 weeks. His sports massage is top quality and he’s always on time which makes a big difference. What stands out most is how much pride he takes in understanding the issue properly and tailoring his treatment to get you back playing as quickly and safely as possible. If you’re dealing with an injury or just need proper recovery work, he’s the one to go to.
