Before and after my surgery, my physiotherapist’s loving care and counselling motivated me to be positive and optimistic. He even visited me in the hospital and at home, and often invited me for outdoor activities.
Please convey my thanks to Aruna who had helped my mum with her therapy. She is now doing very well and is able to walk steadily with the walking frame.
Everyone here is like family – we laugh together and share knowledge with one another. With the help of the staff, I am committed to do my utmost to recover.
