Physiotherapy for parent

"Physiotherapy for parent"

About: Community Services - North Devon / Community Rehabilitation

(as a relative),

Lovely lady, Bukola, Community physiotherapist, Bideford community hospital was a big help for my father. Dad suffers with low back pain and Bukola 'Bea' showed him some gentle exercises that have helped. He enjoys standing whilst doing his jigsaw but his back would get very sore after a few mins. Bea showed him a very simple stretch that instantly gives relief.

Many thanks for taking time to provide feedback about the service your dad received.

I'm pleased to hear that Bukola was able to show him some simple back stretches to ease his back pain and allow him to continue to enjoy doing his standing jigsaws.

I will pass on your gratitude to Bukola and the rest of the team and I am pleased the Bideford Community team was able to provide support and advice yo your dad.

Kind regards

Susan
