What People Say About Us
One of the best in the business! Priority One helps with and aches and pains while giving clients the tools to help assist in everyday life ! Sarah is very professional and makes her clients feel heard and comfortable. The atmosphere of the space is calming and peaceful. Over all great experience and I would recommend Priority one to my closest friends and family.
Been having chronic hip, lower back and mid back tightness and pain for years as an athlete. It hasn’t been resolved by any other Osteopath, Chiropractor, Fascial Stretch Therapist, Physiotherapist, or Registered Massage Therapist. Sarah takes the time to understand your issues, understand the history/mechanism of injury and comes up with a plan to attack the problem at the root to resolve not just symptoms but root cause. So far, after 4 sessions, I actually have movement and reduction of pain in my back and hips! So happy. Highly recommend Sarah to all 🙂
