“I was asked to return for a separate visit to be stretched where I am not available to return for some time. My session was only for 15 minutes and for the cost of these 15 minutes, I feel it would have been fair to have received the stretching service during this visit even had it taken 10-15 more minutes.”Read moreShow less
