Well done Leanne on being chosen as our Client of the Month for April!
Leanne’s story is an inspiring one for sure and shows the positive outcome of good physio assessment and management, excellent support and dedication with rehab to recovery.
How did you feel before starting your journey with us?
I booked in to see Gareth on 19th December as I was having severe pain in my right neck and arm.
I had very little movement, was getting very little sleep with the pain & could not complete simple tasks such as dressing myself.
How has Physio with All Active Pilates helped you?
Following my physio assessment, Gareth was quick to identify my issue as being a 'frozen shoulder' which set me on the right path to the Consultant I needed to see in order to get the correct treatment.
During the waiting time to see a Consultant, Gareth was always at hand to help with managing my pain and also provided me with a specific shoulder ice cuff, which really helped. I felt so reassured that I had come to the right person.
Following my shoulder hydrodilatation procedure on 1st February, I see Gareth on a 2-week programme which has dramatically improved my range of movement which continues to improve as the weeks go on.
After each session Gareth gives me a clear & concise range of stretches/exercises to follow, he even sends me demo videos via e-mail following my appointment, which are very useful as it's easy to forget and important to do them correctly.
Some exercises we have adapted as I have not had the correct equipment at home.
What has been your favourite aspect of your experience at our studio?
I am now pain free with no need for pain relief & can now carry out normal day-to-day tasks. Gareth and I are now confident that I will reach my goal of getting back to gym classes and doing all the outdoor things I love doing.
I feel moving forward that it's important for me to continue the stretches I have been taught to keep both my shoulders mobile and hopefully help prevent any reoccurring episodes of a frozen shoulder.
Would you recommend our phsyio clinic to others?
I highly recommend Gareth and can’t thank him enough for all his help and encouragement! As soon as I met Gareth, I knew I was in good hands.
He is professional, patient, kind & goes above and beyond. It's refreshing to see someone who is passionate about his profession & genuinely wants to help.
Well done Leanne and thank you for sharing.
