"What can I say, Caroline is just fantastic! I very much ower her, so much, for helping me through my second pregnancy. I am currently 38 weeks pregnant and Caroline has been seeing me since I was 16 weeks pregnant. She has been a life saver and I truly believe that my Pelvic Girdle Pain would have been ten times worse if it wasn't for her. I believe her treatment has kept me from needing to use crutches and I am so so grateful for that" (Mrs A, Wantage)
"I am a keen runner and a few months ago I injured my hip. After self diagnosis and all the wrong exercises I limped my way through a half marathon and thought it was my running career over. I visted Caroline and after 1 visit the pain reduced by 50% and she assured me I would be ok to run the marathon. Caroline not only fixed my painful hip but I ran the marathon pain free. I couldn't recommend Caroline enough" (Alan, Newbury)
