How I helped my own back pain (part 2)

We are still here! (but also in Stafford)
Firstly, after some apparent confusion, I would like to say that our clinic is still open in Newport. It seems that the article I wrote and email I sent out in February/March may have led a few people to think we were closing our clinic in Newport and moving to …
Time to get the hands dirty
Well, we’ve had a miserable and wet winter, but things are looking up! Recent events can all soon get you down, but my hope grows that we might finally get some sunnier and drier weather so we can all brighten up and get outside more with family and friends. I …
