“I have suffered from a bad lower back and arthritis on and off for a number of years. When these flared up together recently, coupled with golfer’s elbow I finally got fed up of feeling like and playing to a 100 (not good for a 47 year old, 10 handicapper) and decided it was time to get some professional help. One of my golf buddies recommended I went to see Tilly and after the first session I knew I had made a great choice. Tilly is not only throughly professional but makes each treatment interesting by explaining the relevance to the various component parts of the golf swing. I must admit I did have some reservations about whether Tilly would have the necessary strength but let me reassure you some of this hurts – a lot! A number of our conversations have been through my gritted teeth – never has the phrase ‘no pain no gain’ been more appropriate!!! My golf swing never will be a thing of beauty but at least now it is pain free, I can fully flex my wrists and make a complete turn. As a result I am hitting the ball further and straighter than I have for some considerable time and no longer walk off the course at the end of a round bent double with numerous aches and pains. Even though I’m no longer suffering I’m having regular treatments to prevent recurrence. I know this all sounds like I’m on commission, but I’m paying the standard price per treatment like everyone else and can honestly say it’s money well spent, especially when you take into account how much I’m saving on deep-heat and neurofen!”
