 I had ski injury last year November I injured my right knee I’m a registered nurse so my work was physically demanding and couldn’t afford to take time off for the injury I was attending twice a week and than dropped down to once a week and than once every two weeks. Taylor Jones was my physiotherapist and I couldn’t ask for a better one he listened to my concerns about my knee injury and changed my exercise program and re assessed each time and added more strengthening exercises to my routine especially with my line of work he helped me gain strength in my knee with less pain each time I see him. I couldn’t afford to attend physio therapy due to some financial difficulties and he donated his time to work with me no questions asked. The staff are amazing especially the two receptionist their laughter and friendly service. I highly recommend these guys. I wouldn’t be getting better if it weren’t for them and their kindness. Thanks Taylor and momentum sports you guys are my hero thank you from the bottom of my heart. From your truely appreciated nurse.
