Hi from Colombia!

October 7, 2014

07/10/2014 One of the most impressive things in Bogota (apart from the pickpockets that had our wallet and phone within 30min of us leaving the hotel!) was their Ciclovia.  Every Sunday 120km of Bogota’s main roads are cleared of all motorised vehicles.

We are extremely happy with the physio care and treatment provided by Luci to our daughter. Luci listened to her problem and tailored the treatment accordingly. We felt Luci understood the issues my daughter was having and worked to provide a solution to allow her to confidently continue her sporting activities. Luci was very caring, thorough and answered all our questions. We would happily recommend Luci and Inner Strength Bayside.
