"I was in dire straits recently with pain in my spine and there was no one at the NHS I could get hold of to help me, but Loros were there at the end of the phone and said 'come in for a few days and we will help you get your pain under control'."They are amazing and supported me immediately - and where else am I going to get that support?"
