Testimonials
Thank you so much for your wonderful classes! You have made such a difference to me: I was giving up on my right arm, but thanks to your lessons my shoulder & arm are improving a lot & I feel so much better! Your exercises are much better than the physio’s one, on the phone. You are so amazing & Penny Brohn UK is such a remarkable charity!
