What Nathan's patients say...

Very satisfied with the service I received. Nathan was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Was also able to arrange appointments at relatively short notice.

What Nathan's patients say...

My physiotherapist Nathan was superbly knowledgable and effective in treating my issue, and explaining to me in plain language the implications my posture had on my hip and back problems. I only did about 4 treatments – but what a difference. Very simple, but technical treatments. My mobility returned, and I really took for granted the impact it had on my mood. Thanks, folks at Cornerstone!

What Nathan's patients say...

Nathan is attentive, patient, experienced and absolutely changed my health and well-being for the better. After life caught up with me, Nathan went as far to check up on me and ensure everything was on track and Had previously lost faith in physiotherapist after a bad experience with another. Thankfully I was nudged to visit this clinic and now have a mostly functional shoulder again (cries in over 30)
