Working with Dr. Hughes Has been great. He has an excellent understanding of the body and mind and customizes the exercises to the individual. This enables maximum benefits to the patient. For me personally, it has improved my walk and ability to function normally with everyday tasks. The highlight was to be able to do a first dance with my daughter at her wedding.

Drs Jeremy and Katherine have gone the extra mile with me. But most important is their knowledge and experience with neuro related issues that has surpassed my expectation for treating me with a complicated case of vertigo. Dr. Jeremy Hughes is very patient and thorough in making sure I understand the process. He has measurably moved me towards healing in just 2 visits. I appreciate that he takes a whole body approach towards getting me strong and back to myself again. He is a rare gem in the world of healing to draw on being multi experienced and very educated and also offer such personal care at such a high level. Thank you for your passion for this work!

Both Dr Katherine and Dr Jeremy continue to be attentive to my unusual condition without any hesitation to find the best solutions for me.

Dr Jeremy followed through with tenacity to find the best solution for my balance and being centered from the core. He thinks outside the box for solutions and brings you right along that path by explaining why certain things work and makes sure there's checks and balances (pun intended) for healing. Thank you for your devotion to your patients!

I would give more stars if possible. I love going here because not only does he have different options for treatment, but he doesn’t pressure me into feeling like I have to use them all or book constantly. I can go in regularly or for when ai need a tune up. What I find unique is he explains to me what I’m feeling, what is going on with my body and very practical suggestions. he even checked out my gate and my shoes and realized that was really contributing to my spine and hip joint issues. Highly recommend!! Very approachable.
