TESTIMONIALS

It's always a worthwhile visit for physio, sports massage or pilates. Friendly efficient staff. I've been coming for years and will continue to do so.
Beverley, Team GB dressage

Dear Kate, This is just a heartfelt "thank you" for the treatment you gave me on Friday. The relief is enormous! You are brilliant at your job, thank you again.
Barbara,

“I would just like to say a big thank you for all the help I have received at Woodfield over the last year and a half. Although it may sound like a tale of woe, the problems I have had with my Achilles, Hamstrings and Back have led to a better understanding of running technique and capabilites and the treatment from Georgia has really helped in the short and long term, over coming specific problems with injuries and longer term strengthening work.

I also am appreciative of the extended opening hours at the clinic and the ease of making appointments”
Simon,

Dear Cordelia, Thank you for the follow up, I have returned to light training, and have had no pain. Thanks again for all the help you have given me.
Graham,

I’m delighted with the freedom the Unloader brace has given me. I’m now able to walk my dog, go shopping and walk round places like museums, whereas before I was unable to due to the pain in my knee. It has been worth working through the fairly minor teething problems and getting used to wearing the brace, which I find comfortable. The Unloader brace has also allowed me to defer the inevitable need for surgery for a replacement knee joint.
Ruth,

I just wanted to say thank you for sorting my neck out a couple of weeks ago (just before my wedding day). I did everything you said and amazingly my neck was fine on the day- I didn't even have to take any painkillers. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Jade,

Just wanted to say thanks to Kate and Leni for excellent treatment. I was barely able to work due to lower back pain which was to be honest ruining my life. Kate was amazing, she really knows her stuff and after a thorough examination diagnosed my pain as muscular to my relief not spinal. The treatment was first class and she also gave me exercises to do at home which have really helped. I also had a sports massage with Leni who is very thorough and i would definitely recommend woodfield to anyone. Don't suffer like i did for years, get yourself sorted.
Jon,

Zara has been working with me for a few years now (following an accident and subsequent surgery) on a one to one basis to maintain and increase core strength, flexibility and movement in conjunction with and following on from physiotherapy with Kate. The weekly sessions have benefitted me greatly and given me much more improvement than I ever expected which is still continuing. She has researched my condition and tailored the sessions accordingly for me and each class is enjoyable and interesting whilst still stretching me in every sense! I look forward to seeing Zara every week and having never been overly keen on exercise previously – that really is some recommendation!
Ann,

Thank you for all your help and advice, and for your warm and welcoming reception
Sue,

Many thanks for your friendly, efficient service
Pat,

Kate you are a miracle-worker. I got up this morning free of pain and able to move more freely and comfortably. The difference between this morning and yesterday could not have been greater. Thank you so much for your considerable expertise and for the even greater effort you put into me yesterday. I am eternally grateful.
Richard,

I just wanted to say a very big thank you for all you have done for me over the past few months. Your skill and patience has paid dividends as I didn't think I would be as active as I was before the injury. Once again, I am so appreciative of all you have done for me, many many thanks.
Mark,

Dear Kate, I just wanted to thank you for seeing me through what proved to be rather a trying time for me. Your calm advice as well as physical help were tremendously helpful to me. My shoulder is now so much better!
Vivien,

Dear Zara, Thank you for always being such a cheery positive person and a wonderfully encouraging teacher
Sophia,

I have received a very professional service. My physio, Georgia, asks all the right questions and is a great listener which helps identify the problem. My back is getting better all the time. I would not hesitate in recommending Woodfield.
Gavin,

Professional, friendly and a great team
Carol, Keysoe

The treatment I receive at Woodfield is superb. All the staff are welcoming and considerate, and I appreciate the effort they have to fit me in as soon as possible. Thanks especially to Kate Abrahams for her sympathetic manner.
Rachel,

Beverley, Team GB dressage

I wish to record my sincere gratitude for the physiotherapy with Kate and the parallel help your team has provided in the provision of an Ossur CTi knee brace for my right leg.
The fitment, sizing and general approach taken by James when he came in that day for fitment was little short of outstanding; in that he both upgraded my Un-Loader knee brace, and provided salutary guidance on the CTi brace. And since wearing the CTi brace I no longer have to use the pain killers I was prescribed previously: this will not last indefinitely I know, but suffice to say it is a joy at the moment!
So once again my sincere thanks.
I will certainly pass on my recommendations to others who ask me about help with their own Orthopaedic problems.
Jon,

Dear Kate,
My leg/hip are fine! I can't thank you enough. Since I saw you the results have been astonishing. I'm so much more flexible and less niggling pain than I've had in years. Many thanks once again
Steve,

"Thank you so much for the fantastic physiotherapy that you provided me with since June. All the medical staff at Addenbrokes were simply amazed at how well I progressed post-surgery. They all agree that it was the very fine physiotherapy foundation you provided which played a huge part in that great recovery. I shall always be grateful to you and the kindness of your staff for a wonderful experience that is truly life-changing. Many thanks indeed." DH.
Donna, Woodfield Physiotherapy Centre

"Thanks very much for the help that Cordelia has given me since my op, she has been a superb Physiotherapist and I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone that I know" JF
John,

Thank you so much for fixing me up with the felt pad for my foot. It is working wonders! For the first time in months I don't have any foot pain. Whoopee! My sincere thanks, Jane
Jane,

I'm e-mailing a quick note of thanks to David, for the sports massage I received.

I had a stiff neck for a year and I was concerned that I could not turn my head easily to see traffic when driving. David was professional, kind and took away my worries at having a treatment.I was really pleased that my neck freed up after only one treatment. I was amazed at how much better my neck felt, and is still feeling today, a month after the treatment.
Carol,

Amazing results from the K-Laser treatment. Injuries in my quad and then knee MCL and I can't believe how quickly I've recovered and returned to rugby. Great staff, highly recommend
JW,

"Dear Yegs,

JG,

On Monday I was in loads of pain in the area of my neck and unable to move my head; which is not good as I am a full time carer for my wife. Cordelia at Woodfield Physiotherapy kindly fitted mein straightaway, in fact she came in early to see me. After the Physiotherapy session which included KLaser treatment, as well as painkillers from my doctor, the pain had eased by the next day. Just a few days later, the pain had virtually all gone and movement returned, almost a miracle cure! I am 95% better in just four days. Thanks so much
I.T , Woodfield Physiotherapy Centre

Cordelia fitted me with an Unloader. She gave a me a clear demonstration of its correct fastenings and position. I wear the brace every day and have to my delight, that I no longer require twice daily analgesia. In fact, I have only taken two doses in the last ten weeks since having the brace! I have been able to increase my level of activity in the way I want to live my life. Thank you!
Pam,

I just wanted to say how happy I am with my Unloader knee brace. I took the dog out for an hour long walk in the muddy countryside and I had no pain at all, my knee felt so secure, I then came home took it off for a few hours then popped to the gym for a quick session and it feels great. There’s no swelling and no pain which I haven’t had before in years.
CW,

Yegs Gounden is amazing and has a special interest in women's health. I wish all women had an appointment with her post-natally.
SH,

I would like to say how grateful I am to Cordelia for keeping her promise that I would be quickly free of pain. Cordelia's knowledge and professional skill have undoubtedly taken away the pain of a slipped disc, helped by their wonderful laser and a TENS machine, thank you so much, in gratitude, VJD
VD, Woodfield

Having fractured my humerus mid February and seeming to have reached a plateau , I contacted Kate. We immediately resorted to Zoom consultation & Kate could see straightaway what my issues were. She proceeded to download a series of specifically targeted shoulder exercises to be completed 3 times per day. I followed these religiously & felt a distinct improvement after just 2 days . This encouraged me to keep going, we had two more Zoom consultations where Kate could see a difference & which further exercises I could progress to. The strength, flexibility & pain level have all continued to improve and I am thrilled with the results .
As a woman of 63, the idea of doing all of this on an IPad would have been alien to me a month ago but needs must . It’s so straight forward & easy to manoeuvre around the programme of exercise. I highly recommend it, I feel I have come on in leaps & bounds!
DD,

I write to thank you and your excellent team at the Woodfield Physiotherapy Centre for speeding up my recovery after my accident. After some 6 weeks of wearing a plaster cast followed by a further 6 weeks of different leg and knee braces my leg was very weak and swollen with retained fluid. The physiotherapy provided and many exercises demonstrated and explained by your colleague Cordelia in a considerate and caring way certainly put me on track to recover. Alex Brooks's gentle and efficient Manual Lymphatic Drainage quickly reduced the swelling in my knee and leg enabling me to quickly achieve a greater range of movement in my injured leg.

The combination of Cordelia's physio with Alex's lymphatic drainage worked extremely well for me thank you. I'm so grateful that I can now easily walk, cycle and work in my garden again, which at my age is greatly appreciated. Please pass on my thanks to Cordelia and Alex.

Kind regards,

M.I.
