A successful treatment

In my sport the importance of upper body strength is huge to be able to control our motorcycles at high speeds, over rough terrain and sometimes landing from up to 40-50 ft in the air for long periods of time in a race situation. When I broke my clavicle during the 2016 pre-season I was referred to Mark. It was important to me that I returned to the bike as fit, strong and as quickly as possible. He was very sympathetic and understanding. I was well informed of my options and was looked after well from start to finish. The repair was 100% and I’m delighted to have overcome the injury with no continued problems which is testament to Mark’s skill and ability. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
