I can say in all honesty that Lucy has changed my perception of the power of physiotherapy can help in pain management, as a Fibromyalgia patient at the pain clinic, I have been most concerned over the weakness in my legs & ability to walk aswell as deal with the all over body pain, I went in with big hopes & Lucy listened to my wants, needs & goals & has engineered a plan that is not only helping bring my legs back to life, but is helping desensitise my pain levels in order for her to manipulate other areas of my body ready for the physio that may lay ahead.
I am so very lucky to be in her care, when we are at our lowest & in pain it is hard to see a life more manageable, but Lucy listens & actually cares alot about being able to help me get that life in anyway she can. An amazing asset to the the pain clinic team!
