At Foundational Fitness we often refer clients to Matthew for assessment and treatment of problems beyond the scope of our expertise. He explains his approach :
"I have great success treating symptoms osteopathically in just a few sessions, but to deal with the true cause of most peoples' health concerns takes a far more comprehensive approach, in which the patient must be ready to take responsibility for their own health with the support and advice we provide"
“Often we find that, quite against what the client expects, their priority is not to continually see us for their rehabilitation, but to be referred out to correct a different aspect of their condition that may be the underlying cause of their problem. We simply manage their rehabilitation”.
