Testimonials

A huge thank-yous to you, and Kathryn, for setting us all up for our Zoomy Back Class. I used to much enjoy our Thursday afternoons, so now, in these extraordinary times, having class TWICE a week is such a welcome and bolstering thing, and we feel so lucky that you’ve made it possible. We both really feel the benefit, both physically and mentally. Big claps for Richmond Physio on Thursday nights! See you both tomorrow……..Cheers.” Joan & Derek

I felt that I must write a few words about Richmond Physiotherapy’s wonderful back class, which I have been attending for many years now. Until recently we would meet together, as a group, in person, with our instructor, either Pippa Rollitt or Kathryn Brodie. This was not just an excellent exercise session, led by two of the most professional, and most personable, physios, but it was also a very enjoyable social occasion – such a lovely group of participants. Unfortunately, since the arrival of the COVID-19 virus, we have been unable to meet in person, but we now have virtual sessions, in our own homes, using ZOOM. Pippa and Kathryn have done an outstanding job in arranging these sessions, which are not just enjoyable, but can be challenging. Every session is very carefully structured, and the physios monitor very closely how we are coping with the exercises. They understand, fully, everybody’s individual problems, our differing needs, and differing abilities. I cannot recommend Back Class highly enough. Thank you Pippa and Kathryn.”Alison Rhodes

Dear Stephen, I have been meaning to send you a note since February, when I was eventually signed off from Chelsea Hospital. Your help was invaluable, as the physiotherapists at the hospital were not able (or not permitted?) to give any hands on treatment. I believe that the work you did on my frozen shoulder was what made a tremendous difference in getting me back to full mobility. So – many thanks!”R.G.

Having suffered back pain for several weeks, I found Kate at Richmond Physio. After one visit I was more comfortable and after the third visit I was totally pain-free and back to normal activities. Such skill and sympathetic care has been amazing and I’m enormously grateful.

I just wanted to pass on a huge thank you to Laura Fidler who I had a physio appointment with yesterday. She explained the nature of my problem really well, possible avenues to help with it and made a very considerable improvement in one session. I will definitely be back to see her and will gladly recommend her.

Dear Pippa, Here is the proof – me at the end of our skiing holiday – still in one piece and on my skis! We had a great time and I was able to do way more than expected. I skied every morning except one rest day in the middle and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks in no small part to you! I’m slightly stiff now but nothing more than that.

“After discovering I had a prolapse, the consultant I saw suggested I see Toosie at Richmond Physiotherapy. Well, I had no idea what a womens health physio was or quite what they did as women don’t openly talk about the problems associated with a dysfunctional pelvic floor. I have to admit to dreading the first appointment as we ladies really don’t like ‘those’ examinations and I was feeling generally quite down about my situation. Toosie somehow managed to normalise the whole situation and I went from crying at our first session to having a great laugh with her and later joining her Pilates class to further reinforce the exercises she had taught me. My symptoms are much improved and I feel more confident about my condition. I wish such advice had been more available when I had my babies and would advise anyone post pregnancy to see a womens’ health specialist like Toosie.

Obviously no-one else will be as good!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):):)
