Always helped to brighten my mood

Posted By Taywh37

"Always helped to brighten my mood"

About: Royal Hospital for Children and Young People (Edinburgh) / Physiotherapy

(as the patient),

I feel that during my spinal surgery recovery journey, my Physio sessions with Lachlan and Micheal always helped to brighten my mood, even on the days when I was tired and unmotivated. They have the best advice and the best humour when tackling any sort of situation. Within 3 days I felt my spirits perk up, my mobility getting better such as walking, standing and even climbing stairs.

They are honestly stars and I couldn’t have done it without them both.

Dear Taywh37,

Thank you for sharing your story about the physiotherapy team at RHCYP.

It was lovely to read how Lachlan and Michael were so supportive of you following your spinal surgery. I can imagine that the process of recovery could be tiring and I am glad that they were able to give you that boost to continue to improve with your standing, walking and tackling the stairs.

I hope you are continuing to recover and improve. I have shared your kind words with Michael, Lachlan and the physiotherapy team.

Kind regards,

Claire
