Olympian Ashleigh Nelson
This place is just on another level for rehabilitation, especially those who are serious about their sport or at the top of their game and wanting to recover from injury and/or improve their technique and power. Following a shoulder injury I sought the advice of Peter Horobin which has been invaluable in helping my recovery. I felt like an Olympic athlete and got treated like one! I’d highly recommend this practice.
Skydiving coach Fleur Jones
As a Professional 100m/200m Sprinter you tend to have niggles and small injuries that need to get treatment or even before they happen. I see Peter regularly so my body can be checked to reduce any injuries. Highly recommend for everyone. Thanks to Peter for his great work on keeping me ready for each season.
