“I had three months of physiotherapy with Dave Mercy starting in June 2025 to help rehabilitate my right foot following a medically necessary operation to break and re-position my heel bone following a diagnosis tibialis posterior tendinopathy with a split tear. The physiotherapy started approx three months after surgery. Dave helped me to progress from being in an air-cast boot on my first visit and unable to put my weight through my foot, onto massages to reduce and eventually eradicate the post surgical swelling in my foot, onto a range of exercises in the gym to exercise, stretch and strengthen my foot and allow me to complete everyday activities that I can now once again enjoy. The support that Dave provided was comforting in the early days and then as the gym exercises progressed, Dave was encouraging and challenged me to develop my foot strength, flexibility, and gave me the confidence to put my full weight through my foot and complete a wide range of exercises that I didn’t think would be possible. I am walking well and whilst the finer aspects of my foot recovery will take longer to achieve, for now I can walk without the pain I previously had, which is a massive achievement. Thanks Dave, you had a hugely positive impact on my level of recovery!”

“The two Stressless chairs I have bought are wonderful products, and well worth the price for build and finish quality. The design is an utter classic that combines both form and function.

I plan to buy a Stressless sofa from them soon”

“Very very professional, knowledgeable and experienced practitioner! I couldn’t be happier with the amazing service I received - Lisa W has finally started to fix my partners 20 year shoulder problem - he has seen so many people over the years and sadly, nothing has worked. Lisa gave a comprehensive consultation and started treatment , I can honestly say, after 1 session - he was a different man! Lisa is professional but also so warm and welcoming - Just wish I could give more than 5 stars!”

“I'm uncomfortable with anything to do with eyes (I'll never be a contact lens wearer) so was a bit fearful of cateract surgery. All I can say is that from pre-op through to the operation and discharge I felt welcome and very well cared for. The procedure itself was pain-free with only the tinyest amount pressure being felt (I'm expecting far worse when I have a trip to the dentist next week!) It is now a week after my operation and it is hard to tell the difference in vision between either eye. Another week of drops and I wonder how much better it can get? Happy to recommend.”
