Physiotherapy and FOCUS shockwave……

Vincent James Osteopathy (now Vincent James clinics) is expanding its services to include physiotherapy and not only radial shockwave therapy using a radial device, but combined shockwave with FOCUS and RADIAL machines.

We also have Danni’s massage within our facility who can help with a number of holistic massage therapies.
