“As a professional cyclist I have integrated chiropractic into my training regime. Thomas has really helped me achieve peak performance on the bike. Whether it was specific care for an injury or helpful stretching advice, he always knows just what will benefit me the most. His overall care and understanding of athletes has been a key factor in keeping me healthy throughout training and competition. I consider chiropractic care an essential element in injury free training and racing, and it enables me to keep going week in and week out”

Dear Dr. Thomas,

Let me thank you for incredible service throughout the year from yourself and the staff of Health on Hand Chiropractic Clinic. The benefits and experience were undeniable. When I began coming to your clinic, I had never been to a chiropractor before and did not know what it was. But now after the whole year of treatment I can surly say that it is worth every single minute that I have spent in your clinic. While coming to your clinic I have forgot about my back, neck pain and just overall body feeling felt tremendous. You also kept most of Leicester Riders basketball players injury free throughout the season. Big thanks again.

Read a quote from the team Chiropractor (who is also the director and head of the medical team) of AC Milan football club. He set up a sports rehab lab that is leading the way for sporting clubs world wide.

'When they asked me if I wanted the job, I said, sure, but on one condition. I really wanted to have the power to control things. So the first thing that we did was to fire
the total medical staff. The second thing that we did was to fire all the physiotherapists. And we started from scratch. Basically, applying the principles of applied kinesiology (a chiropractic technique), taking care of the structure, the biochemical system, and the mental site. We won the championship the first year….'
