I received physio from Lorraine because I fractured my hip bone. She came to help me strengthen it by giving me specific exercises to do, how often I should do them, and how. She checked to see how I felt whilst doing these exercises too.
She visited me over a while and said that she was happy that I was working hard with the exercises, and that if I was happy to continue doing them, she was confident that she didn't need to visit me anymore.
She was excellent at supporting me with my desire to get back to running, however, she made it clear that I needed to listen to her advice, taking it step by step in order to do so. The way she said this was kind, and she made me feel like it was possible for me to go back to my fitness level. She was so kind and caring about it. She was always on time and always pleasant to me; it almost felt like a friend coming, she was so pleasant and kind.
She was always clear and direct, and I worked to her recommendations and still do the exercises now.
She was clearly very knowledgeable and good at communicating with me and reassuring me that I was doing the exercises correctly. Her guidance helped me feel I was doing it properly.
She understood my feelings and desire to get back to my fitness levels before the injury, and her training and confidence in me have given me more incentive.
"Her guidance helped me feel I was doing it properly."
