“I have seen more physio’s than I have had hot dinners over the years – some parts of me will last forever – because they are metal!

When I was eventually forced to undergo a knee replacement last year I was getting nowhere, despite the operation being a successful one – until that is, a friend recommended Dave Roberts.

It didn’t take long to work out that I needed some cajoling to improve the muscle strength around my new knee and he quickly set to work on making me do the correct exercises. As hard and often painful as it was his words of encouragement and positive attitude together with his skills as a physiotherapist made all the difference.

Just knowing that I was doing the ‘right’ thing gave me the confidence to continue in my hectic new life as a racehorse trainer here at Jackdaw’s Castle.”
