Success Stories
SOPHIA K, EAST WALL, DUBLIN.
I’ve been going to John for a few months now for a recurrent lower back pain issue that I’ve had all my adult life and it’s the first time I feel like something is actually helping. John has a sixth sense for where (and why) pain originates. He is also generally a wonderful person and just really cares.
TONI C, TERENURE.
John is an extremely professional and knowledgable therapist. He has been working with my son to resolve a very tricky and debilitating back issue. I cannot believe the difference in my son’s condition. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. (as an extra bonus, he is kindness personified).
JAMIE D, GOATSTOWN, DUBLIN.
My experience with John completely exceeded my expectations. He was incredibly thorough and helpful. His knowledge is extremely vast and he helped me understand things in very simple terms. A really good investment in my health. Strongly recommend!

"Incredibly eye opening experience as he took a holistic view to why I had back pain instead of just treating the inflicted area (it turned out that while my back was compressed, the cause was a serious injury I had suffered when I was a kid). John is incredibly approachable, has great insight and is superb at explaining the issue and his approach to fixing it. Gives great exercises to do that I could really feel help benefit me. Continue to go to him now to strengthen my back and ensure no issues will occur in the future. Couldn't recommend him enough!

I went to see John in 2020 with a disc issue that had been causing me significant pain for 4 months. I’d seen numerous physios that could not help. I’d had a disc operation in 2006 and went to a neurosurgeon who was categorical that I required further surgery. I did not want this and with John’s help avoided a further op. John helped me to correct the slipped disc through a wholistic approach incorporating movement, posture, stretching, strengthening, homework and repetition. Four years on I am walking, cycling and exercising without pain. He’s a fantastic educator and shares excellent guidance for recovery homework. I can’t recommend him highly enough and I’m very grateful. Thanks John.
