After a long-ish wait for a physiotherapy appointment for assessment, I was seen at St Michael's Hospital, Hayle Cornwall by Rosie (having been referred by my GP three months earlier!)
A very thorough examination identified the issue and I was given an exercise sheet with clear instructions. Since I had been experiencing considerable pain for more than 6 months, while waiting for the physio assessment I had organised private acupuncture treatment that had been beneficial in pain management. This together with Rosie's exercise advice significantly improved my condition. I returned for a follow-up appointment at St Michael's when Rosie was pleased with the progress made and recommended additional exercises.
I have been very satisfied with Rosie's care and the Physio Department at St Michaels.
What could have been better - after waiting 12 weeks for my appointment I phoned the Hospital outpatients department to find out where I was on the list. As I was on the West-Cornwall list, I was about NO. 95! Just by chance the advisor told me that if I could go to Hayle, I could have an appointment that week. Of course, I agreed. If I had been given a choice of which hospital I could have been seen earlier.
"I have been very satisfied with the care I received."
