2 weeks after a total knee replacement operation I had my first appointment with Amy. At this stage I was on crutches with very limited movement. Amy carefully assessed my situation, listened to my history and set me achievable goals. After only 2 sessions with Amy I had the strength and confidence to dispense with the crutches and, 4 weeks and 2 days after my surgery, I was dancing again with my partner. Amy combined massage and manipulation with a tailored exercise routine and her rehabilitation programme enabled me to achieve my goals and recover quickly from my surgery. I could not have done this without her. I found Amy to be patient, caring and very knowledgeable and I would recommend Amy unreservedly.
I am a seventy-year old. and have suffered for years with walking difficulties, which require me to use a stick for all but the shortest journeys. I have received physiotherapy from Amy, but mainly rehab training, which has undoubtedly assisted my poor mobility and balance. Amy has the intuitive gift of sensing where the problem lies, and applying an effective exercise regime: not too demanding as to deter one from further treatment, but which nevertheless requires effort, and leads to benefit..
I saw Amy as a result of an injury sustained playing American Football.
As well as successfully treating my injury, she was able to identify and correct a number of underlying issues.
Correcting these issues has lead to an improvement in my overall level of training, as well as allowing me to return to playing in time for the first game of the season.
Amy has been treating my back problem for some time and has succeeded in significantly relieving the pain and discomfort I was experiencing before therapy. I have great confidence in her abilities as a physiotherapist and will continue to trust her with my treatment.
