"I can feel the benefit in my knees already"

About: Bideford Hospital / Therapies

(as the patient),

I recently attended Escape from Pain at the Physio department at Bideford Community Hospital. This was a 6 week programme using equipment in the gym. I wanted to go to this group session as I felt it would be beneficial seeing and hearing from others with knee or hip pain.

Oh my, I loved it and got so much out of it and enjoyed interacting with others in the group. The physio's were excellent and took time to go through the various pieces of equipment. A the end of the programme I felt confident enough to use similar equipment at my village hall's small but well run gym.

I go at least twice a week as I did when attending the hospital and enjoy it. Thank you for putting on this programme, I can feel the benefit in my knees already.

Dear Apollo12

Thank you for taking the time to write and tell us of your experience. It is great to hear that the course of treatment was enjoyable and beneficial. I will ensure I pass on your comments to the therapists that run the class. So pleased that you have managed to continue to exercise in the community.
