It's good to talk
At the Wembley Physiotherapy Service we welcome and appreciate our patient's active involvement in the process of getting better. So tell us if you don't like needles for Acupuncture, if you are worried about receiving Electrotherapy or if you just can't face the thought of having an ice pack applied. We can find an alternative to any modality and still get the desired result.
Here is what Janet had to say: I completed my sponsored walk thanks to my Physio
I had this really bad leg pain recently, after a fall in my kitchen. The pain was making me limp. I had seen my GP not long before then for a back pain, and he told me that I probably had some wear and tear in my spine. This worried me now, as I thought, what if I have worn and torn something in my leg? The pain sure was bad enough to warrant such a thought. I wanted to have this seen to as quickly as possible, as I was due to go on a sponsored walk. A friend recommended the Wembley Physiotherapy Service, where she had been for treatment a few weeks earlier. As they were close to where I live, I made an appointment. I'm so glad I did, because the Physiotherapist sorted out my leg pain in no time and also explained to me that" wear and tear" in the spine is not as scary as it sounds. It just means that my spine has aged and the amount of pain does not necessarily mean an equal amount of wear to go with it. I was much reassured to learn, that nothing is actually "torn" in my back after all.
Needless to say, I was comfortably able to complete my sponsored walk, which was most rewarding, both for the Physio and for me.
This is Sam's story: My Physio restored my foot against the odds
I stubbed my toe on a metal door 4 months ago. It became swollen and very painful to walk on. My foot became discoloured purple after a while. I sought medical advice and was told, it was gout and that it might not get better. The gout tablets didn't make a difference though. I thought, I have nothing to loose by having another opinion on it. The foot was still quite swollen, purple and painful to walk on. So I saw this Physio at the Wembley Physiotherapy Service. She first asked my doctor to let me have an x-ray on the foot, to make sure nothing was broken. Luckily there was no fracture. The Physio then started my treatment. Much to my delight the foot felt and looked better after the first session already. I had a short course of 5 sessions. After that my foot looked back to normal, with no swelling , with normal colour and was pain free. Definitely a massive turnaround from "it might not get better", despite starting treatment 4 months after the injury. This is the Physio Practice for me from now on!
We take great pride in these testimonials, of which we have many more, as we always try our very best to take care of all our patients to the highest level possible.
