Testimonial Prize Draw Winner!
Here is what Ms. W said about her Bridgeham experience:
Outstanding treatment. Definitely a 10!
"I was fairly nervous and in a lot of pain, but Michael made me feel at ease and clearly explained the assessment, questions, treatment, and movements he was going to perform. I did feel some relief after my treatment.
My experience was a 10. I was warmly welcomed by the receptionist, Julie, who was very helpful. My appointment was on time, and Bridgeham is extremely clean and professional.
Michael was extremely patient, thorough, clearly explained the whole process, was helpful, identified the problem with my back, and reassured me throughout my appointment."
