I was seen quickly and received a good examination and a thorough discussion of my problem.
Physio listened carefully and got a good understanding of my needs.
Smita was very welcoming and friendly. She instantly made me feel comfortable and at ease. She listened carefully. She explained things clearly. She checked I had understood everything and gave me plenty of opportunities to ask questions. She explained and demonstrated a set of exercises to improve the strength and flexibility in my ankle - she gave me a printout to help guide me through these exercises and also emailed a copy to me as well. Finally she made another appointment with me to see her in 4 weeks.
They really helped me out by providing me with exercises to do post knee operation. After 6 weeks I’m now fully weight bearing and getting back to normal life. The exercises are easy to follow and can be added into my daily routine which is useful. Jen was lovely at each review and really listened so that I could get the best outcome from my physio - thank you.
