It really did help

Posted By Livaignae538

"It really did help"

About: Allied Health Professionals / Physiotherapy Outpatients Services / MSK Physiotherapy Outpatients

(as a service user),

How I ended up in the physio department was because of a sport related injury and after undergoing surgery I was later informed that I would be attending physio at the royal.

At first I was skeptical because it wasn’t the type of physio I was used to but once the physician discovered that I was a rugby player they soon adapted workouts and routines into my daily life to help and it really did help as I was able to work back all the muscle and strength that was lost due to not being active for a few weeks away from the gym
