Lisa was able to help with a lower back issue that was giving me an unbelievable amount of pain.After my first session she was able to identify the problem. With her manipulation on the area and some exercises I was able to move more freely without the intense pain I was experiencing. highly recommend CHP

I can’t recommend Central Health highly enough. I broke my ankle in November 2023 and a friend recommended them to me - for hydrotherapy in particular. Jackson is absolutely brilliant. His encouragement, understanding and expertise have really helped me regain my confidence in walking again. My hydrotherapy sessions are the highlight of my week The whole reception team are also really great and welcoming. To complete the picture, you couldn’t wish for a more beautiful setting than the Royal Hospital in which to go on your rehab journey.
