After enduring a severe fall from my horse, I received a distressing diagnosis of a hernia. The doctors recommended a back surgery involving pins, which would severely limit my ability to engage in physical exercise. The pain was excruciating, and I could barely move. However, after two months of dedicated treatments from Dan at Costa Health, everything changed. Thanks to his expert guidance and the diverse techniques used during the treatments, I can now participate in all my favourite sports without any pain or discomfort. I am immensely grateful to Dan for helping me regain my strength and enabling me to live an active and pain-free life.

Went to see Daniele with a shoulder problem that had been going on for about 6 months. Other physios I tried just gave me exercises but he actually got his hands on it and found the issue straight away. Really thorough assessment and he explained everything so I understood what was going on. Already feeling so much better after 3 sessions.

Daniele treated my knee after ACL reconstruction and I honestly cant fault him. He was patient and really knowledgable about the whole rehab process. He pushed me when I needed it but always made sure I felt safe. Would recommend him to anyone recovering from surgery, hes brilliant.
