About us
Radnor Physiotherapy and Complementary Therapy is the private practice of Hermione Evans, who has been a chartered physiotherapist for almost 40 years, having graduated with distinction from the Royal London Hospital.
The holistic approach and the fact that you offered a range of treatment options and self help advice was I believe a positive way forward for me and I would certainly recommend your services. Many thanks
Mrs R, Reading
Each visit is a joy and brings a great deal of serenity into my life (a life that carries with it immense amounts of stress). I get to relax for 60 minutes and it is marvellous. I will gladly pass your name to anyone in need
Mrs H, Maidenhead
