Testimonials
Thank you for sending us fantastic feedback on our Video consultations
- “it really did feel like my physio was in the room with me” GL
- “the video appointments have been very useful to get a stretching program and clarity on any questions that crop up. It is a great compromise during these unprecedented times.” AB
- “Whilst nothing is quite as good as an appointment in person, my video appointments have been the next best thing. Once we’ve got the camera angle right(!), it’s amazing how much we can achieve in a video appointment. It has meant that I can continue to make progress on my recovery, which otherwise would have stalled during lockdown. You have been able to show me exactly how to do my tailored rehabilitation exercises and judge my progress visually. Many thanks!” EC
- “As our baby is developing so quickly we wanted to ensure we were touching base on his progress and the video call gave us all the confidence we needed to ensure he was making progress and we were armed with the skills to help him further develop”. Liz
- “I’ve just finished a course of online physio sessions to help with my post-partum recovery and they worked really well. I was a bit apprehensive at the thought of doing online sessions but I shouldn’t have worried”. GL
