Mrs Emma Dodd 2021-05-06 Person 5 5 0

I was referred to Mrs Emma Dodd following a consultation with a knee specialist. His option was an overkill with remedial surgery or focused physiotherapy. The latter was preferred as the primary option. At that point I took daily pain medication and walking any distance was not possible. An initial consultation with Emma defined a programme of treatment aimed at strengthening the muscles and ligaments surrounding the knee. As the knee progressed it revealed weakness in other areas of the leg and hip leading to progressive revisions to the programme. Emma was immediately responsive to feedback with modifications or additions to exercises, always keen to listen and talk through an issue. At all times she was honest in her appraisal of how long it would take for "normality" to be achieved, in my case at least 6 months. Five months later I can walk 5 miles over rough terrain in comfort and am able to progress further. Pain medication is a thing of the past. Her knowledge and experience enables her to provide a reason and solution for every minor issue that may arise. Boxgrove is well equipped and the atmosphere one of quiet confidence and professionalism.
