"My journey with a recurring sports injury"

About: Lothian Community Services / Paediatric Physiotherapy

(as the patient),

I have recently struggled with recurring injuries from football and taekwondo from where I was referred to physio. During my time working closely with the team I immediately felt reassured and motivated by my physio, from the exercises I was given to the smiles at the door, every minute spent with the team was a dream. Their attention to detail and thorough protocol immediately calmed my stress and made me feel at ease. Simply following the exercises and the programmes given between appointments I found a huge difference in my progress. With many set backs the team were there for me at every stage making me feel supported and surrounded by genuine passion. I truly can say the physio team is a hugely under appreciated sector and they truly did make my journey that little bit easier.

Dear Ellasfootballjourney

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us on Care Opinion.

I am really pleased to hear the physio team helped you feel so reassured and motivated to carry on with your programme in between appointments to make progress. It sounds like despite some setbacks you are well on the road to recovery from your recurring injuries.

I will share your lovely feedback with the team so they know how much you appreciated working with them. I hope you are getting back to football and taekwondo and enjoying them.

Thank you again

Best wishes,

Kath
