“Eight months ago Mum fell and broke her wrist. She had been using a walker for mobility, but after the fall she could not use her conventional walker because her arm was in a cast. Determined to keep our 95 year old Mum up and moving on her feet, we called Justin at Chipperfield Physiotherapy for help, as recommended by the staff at Mum’s care home. Justin and his team were there immediately, and established a routine designed to keep Mum’s fingers, hands, shoulders and legs from atrophying while she was recovering. Mum’s wrist has long since healed, but his team continues to visit Mum three times a week for physiotherapy sessions that keep her limber and able to stand, bear weight and take a few steps while transferring to into the car, the shower, the toilet and into bed. Our family knows that the physiotherapy program implemented by Justin and his team have increased Mum’s strength and stamina in ways that enhance her enjoyment and ease of life. We have acted on equipment suggestions they proposed too. No less significantly, our normally reclusive Mum enjoys terrific camaraderie with her physiotherapists who cheerfully encourage and stimulate her with conversation and laughter during their visits. Our family could not be more pleased with the services of Chipperfield Physiotherapy.” -Liz H.
