Some testimonials:

“I recently had an amazing experience at Anderson Performance Clinic with Joe Cheng. After struggling with knee pain for years, Joe provided exceptional care and expertise that finally relieved my pain. Joe took the time to understand my concerns and created a personalized treatment plan. His knowledge and hands-on approach helped me regain strength and flexibility. I highly recommend Joe's services for anyone seeking relief from knee pain.” — Miguel Martins Pereirinha

“Highly recommend Joe for physio/IMS. He's an excellent listener and makes good use of your time together. He synthesizes everything I tell him, even if my presentations of issues and symptoms isn't the most organized. Personally, I don't like needles, but I've become loads more comfortable and am highly appreciative of IMS. Again, Joe gauges my tolerance of the treatment well. You can also trust Joe to use sound judgement and not treat you too aggressively, even if you're inclined to ask for more than your body is ready for.” — Alan Sutton
