After my knee operation on 13th March the current crisis took over and I think I fell down a gap in the system. Thanks to an introduction by a mutual friend I have just had my first appointment with “H” over video conference. If felt like she was in the room with me. She gave me a full examination and fully explained what was happening to my knee. She has sent me exercises to do and I have booked a follow up for a weeks time. My worries were discussed and she put my mind at ease instantly. What an amazing lady you are I cannot thank you enough.

I recently visited “H” for back pain that was severely impacting on daily life and my ability to keep fit. “H” was able to identify the cause quickly alleviate the worst of my symptoms and gave me a clear understanding of the underlying cause of the pain, the mechanics behind it and a structured plan focused on fast recovering. She is amazing! Thank you “H”

Great physiotherapist, very professional and friendly. After multiple leg and ankle fracture along with torn ligaments “H” got me back walking again. Treatment had immediate effect on the range of mobility. “H” then gave me a progressive exercise programme to improve ankle movement and strength. Highly recommended.

“Naturally clumsy and injury prone it’s important to me to have a physio I can trust. Highly knowledgeable, friendly and professional H is exactly that. Not only do her methods help with recovery but also target the underlying cause of the problem.”
