After ongoing treatments for several years for groin pain, Natalie Cassidy was persistant in working out my husbands cause of pain, she contacted his orthopaedic specialist and he needed a revised surgery. The next problem he was diagnosed with bursitis, the injection for this did not work but Natalie did not leave it at that and again suggested his Doctor send him for a CT scan which showed problems in his back. She has treated him appropriately and given him excercises which have worked and he is now back swimming regularly. Thank you Natalie

I have been going to Barton for 2 years. He has helped my to learn to walk again as well as helping me build up strength in my legs. The best support one could hope for.

We've been using Optimum services for over 5 years. The care provided by Optimum practitioners is unmatched in our experience. I am certain we would not be seeing the health outcomes we have if it were not for the quality of Optimum services.
Our Optimum practitioners have always been skilled, reliable, compassionate and engaging. They have listened and responded to our concerns. They have worked collaboratively with our support staff and our multidisciplinary allied health team, and have consistently provided accurate, detailed and quality reporting when needed.
Now that we're leaving the area, I can only hope we find practitioners of the same calibre and character in our new location
