“18 months ago I fell at my home and damaged my shoulder and rotary cuff. I was in agony. A friend suggested Marcel and that is how I ended up making one of the wisest decisions of my life. Marcel told me like it was, the good , the bad and the ugly of it. He helped with scans and result reports. He eased my pain and advised that in his opinion surgery was required. I went back to Ireland where my Consultant asked about the physio I had been getting and described it as "excellent, by someone who knew exactly what he was doing:" 18 months later I've had my rotary cuff repaired in Dublin and while working with Marcel I am now fully recovered and repaired. If you need honest, friendly ,professional advice don't look further than Strong For Life. Excellent top level care. Ronan Callan.”

“Je tiens à remercier chaleureusement M. Marcel pour son accueil si agréable, sa gentillesse et son grand professionnalisme. Je souffrais énormément des mollets et du bas du dos, et grâce à son expertise, j'ai ressenti un réel soulagement. Il prend le temps d'écouter attentivement ses clients afin de comprendre précisément l'origine du problème et d'y apporter une solution adaptée. Son savoir-faire, sa bienveillance et son implication font toute la différence. Je le recommande sans hésitation à toute personne recherchant un praticien compétent et à l'écoute. Un immense merci, M. Marcel, pour votre aide précieuse ! Bouazza”

“Gran profesional, llegue con un problema de cervicales que me probocaba una gran congestion de cabeza que ni con relajantes musculares era capaz de calmar, me trato y la mejoria fue inminente, ya al acabar la sension la sensacion de alivio era presente, ademas de recuperar movilidad del cuello y perdida de dolor asociado, muy contento con el trato y el tratamiento, totalmente recomendable sus servicios de 10.”
