“Thank you so much, Adrian, for all you have done for me over the last five months. You have always been patient, firm but gentle, and very respectful. It has also been a pleasure to learn a little about you and your family.”Judith
“I’m a touring musician (cellist) visiting Theatre Clwyd and urgently needed help with back, shoulder and neck pain. I was absolutely delighted to find one of the best physio massage treatments I have ever received, right around the corner from the theatre. Adrian Duicu was really thorough and sensitive, and gave a fantastic deep-tissue massage that provided immediate relief from acute symptoms. He also gave useful postural advice, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. I cannot recommend him highly enough. First-class physiotherapy in a friendly, professional environment. Next time I’m in town, I’ll be back!”Zoë
“Adi’s exceptional skills as a physiotherapist have been truly transformative for me. With his expertise and dedication, he successfully treated my debilitating sciatica and back pain, allowing me to regain my mobility and lead a pain-free life. More recently, he helped address my persistent dizzy spells. Adi has enabled me to live independently and enjoy life to the fullest. His compassionate care and effective treatments make him an invaluable healthcare professional. I am immensely grateful for his support in restoring my health and wellbeing.”Kathy
