We are the only private clinic in the north east with a 40 m running track and a 1 meter pressure plate. This allows true form to be assessed as we host plenty of space to get into stride. 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ 🦶 🦶

This is a great analogy for runners. Increase step rate, increase speed, reduce load, Reduce injury.
