I was very impressed with the complete experience from reception staff. To even being told that the first person who saw me is going to be the same all the time.I was treated as a very special person and had everything explained. I am looking forward to going back once I receive the funding.
Erin is enthusiastic and well informed about health issues and dealing with them in going forward. The ladies on front desk also super helpful. Thanks for the help ladies!
I went to Sports and Spinal at nambour for lower back pain and was treated by Claire for a massage therapy. Claire was really gd at explaining what she was doing and why. Although a day or 2 after I was a bit tender in some area's I must say by day 4 and 5 after visit I feel so much better. I can actually do things I haven't been able to do for ages. I would totally recommend Claire and the Sports and Spinal at nambour.
Very polite and welcoming, not even a little stressful. Would recommend.
