Had an osteopath appointment, was amazing! Clment is a cool guy who's friendliness made me forget my nervousness about the treatment I required. Also had fears that the osteopathe wouldn't be strong enough to handle my 6'1 260lbs body, but luckily he was taller and strong. Overall my experience was flawless!
