“When we secured the building in August of last year, we asked a good friend of ours, Courtney Payne, to join us in our undertaking and become a business partner.”
He said staff did not believe in “quick fixes” and instead focused on education and preventative measures.
The business offers clinical pilates, deep tissue massage, dry needling, as well as hands-on physiotherapy.
