Geoff's knowledge, his clinical application, and how he treats everything like an engineering expert is second to none. He will always provide an accurate diagnosis and treat the mechanical cause rather than the symptoms. Often he is 'the go to guy' in the county, being recommended by a large majority of Orthopaedic Consultants and GP's in the area.
Still going strong at nearly 40, Geoff is still a Great Britain Age Group Triathlete, and uses his knowledge on athletic training extremely well alongside his therapeutic input.
