Une ambiance chaleureuse et paisible et le personnel très professionnel et souriant offrent un accueil sécurisant. Les locaux sont frais ce qui est très appréciable en periode de forte chaleur et offrent tout l'équipement nécessaire pour nous accueillir et nous proposer la meilleure approche selon les problèmes rencontrés (massages, exercices, etc). Mon phisiothérapeute s'est montré à l'écoute et de très bon conseil pour m'aider à récupérer d'une vieille blessure. Les horaires d'accueil (tôt le matin et tard le soir) ont facilité la prise de rendez-vous en dehors de mes heures de travail et l'accès est très simple (tpg, parking et parking velo). Je recommande!
