Testimonials
A big thank you to my massage therapist, whom I discovered thanks to a gift certificate. A very friendly approach and a great place to be!
My little 7-week-old baby had plagiocephaly… Such a panic! I’m now in good hands and I’ve met an osteopath and a physiotherapist who have guided me through the exercises to do, the positions to adopt with my child and now I feel much better equipped to deal with this problem. I’m convinced that everything will return to normal, because I can already see an improvement. Thanks to my little mother’s heart!
Since I’ve been sexually active, I had been suffering from excruciating intercourse pain. I was really discouraged. I was recommended to Cigonia by my general practitioner and I’m so glad I had the privilege of meeting the professionals who helped me through it all. I now feel much more at ease in my relationships and I loved the follow-up with my physiotherapist!
