Welcome to the October issue of Neurohealth News!
It’s been a busy month at Neurohealth we’ve had our new massage therapist Steve M start with us and Cara has been visiting local schools to conduct Scoliosis screenings. It’s also the time of year when everyone removes their winter layers and realises they may have been neglecting their health. If you’re feeling a little less than satisfied with your health, contact the team and let us help you feel better.
Until next month,
Enjoy!
