"I decided to take my son to Centrolab for physiotherapy to help him with coordination issues. The experience has been fantastic. 👏 The physiotherapists are very patient and get along great with children. They made my son feel comfortable and explained the exercises in a fun way. We have seen a lot of improvements in his mobility and coordination. The only small drawback is that sometimes you have to wait for the appointment, but the result is worth it."
