I went to Jim for a hip issue I’ve had for years and was amazed at the therapeutic nature of his work. I have hope for the first time in a long while that, with his treatments and guidance, I may be able to get back to running again

I have gone to chiropractors and physiotherapists in the past but never have I experienced the kind of breakthrough Jim’s treatment produced in just a couple of sessions.
