Sp2 Kinetics™ aims to provide a thorough assessment, accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment and advice to individuals who may be experiencing pain, injury, limited function or seek to improve their overall posture, health and performance

What to expect:

 

Initial assessment will be 60 minutes

Follow-up appointments will be 30-45 minutes
