“After a few taster sessions with Hayley at Hobbs Rehabilitation South East, it was quickly apparent that the physios there are extremely knowledgeable, very efficient and certainly effective. I really look forward to the sessions I have at Hobbs and always come away feeling good, if slightly tired!
Hayley has been able to analyse my condition and come up with a strategy to work on areas of weakness, improving my mobility and endurance, working towards achieving my goals. The improvement is visible and continues week on week.” – Jeremy
