Mrs McKenzie writes about her experience

Dee St Physio was great! My physio, Sara, was easy to communicate with, listened well, and explained clearly what stage my injury was at, and how we would get improvement. She also liased well with other specialists. There seemed a genuine concern to keep up to date with current physio practices and to offer the best treatment possible eg ongoing specialised hand therapy training. Everyone I met at the Physio was friendly and helpful, and I recommend their expertise and caring.

Mrs Tindall writes about her recovery

"I got sent along to Dee Street Physio from my doctor. As I had been suffering from an extremely sore elbow and had lost all power and movement in it. I was under the impression I had tennis elbow. Which was causing my arms to go numb at night and constantly waking me.

Within minutes of Sara talking to me and having a look at the elbow she was quick to access the problem was further afield and the pain was just being transferred to that area.

As she started working on my back she could activate all the symptoms I was having. Headaches, numbness, loss of movement, the list just went on…

I discovered that over the years I had adapted different ways of coping with the loss of movement range ie ‘using the mirrors for reversing the car instead of turning my neck’ ‘I never realised that I couldn't put my arm up high enough to pull the seatbelt down and plug it in, in one movement’. It came as a shock to realise that I had not been doing these things!

After some of my sessions I would feel like a truck had run over my back as slowly the trigger points were worked on. The range of movement returned and I could finally get a decent nights sleep!

It took a few months of therapy to undo years of problem areas. Now I feel like I have regained confidence to get on with life with my family and enjoy what it has to offer. Without the constant feeling of ‘what if I get one of my headaches and I’ll end up in bed for a couple of days’, or constantly having the pain in my elbow and sleep depravation.

Since having the treatment I’ve had to go back and have another ‘tickle up’ but I only took a couple of sessions to be back on track again."
