I just wanted to say thanks to Tori for the great work you have done with my Mother. She was full of praise for your style and approach and remarked more than once on how firmly you drove her to perform her exercises properly. She still has some stiffness, particularly after sitting for a long period, but I am sure this will improve as time goes on. Thanks for all your help.

We are very happy with the service you provide. Our physio is warm and friendly with my daughter and has been very thoughtful in providing her with exercises she can do at home. She took photos of my daughter doing her stretches and thought through how she could incorporate them into her daily routine, sending us the photos with descriptions to pin up on the walls to remind her. Fantastic! Thank you.
