Some comments are short and to the point. Today a new patient said: "It's incredible how well you know the human body." Another said a few weeks ago: "You use techniques that are totally different, and in my opinion, much more effective." Others write a whole email to me, unsolicited, like this one: "Just to say how much I esteem your work as a Physiotherapist. During my running career of 50 years, I have had reason to consult injury experts in London, Stockholm, Rome, Tokyo, Sydney, Cape Town, New York and Los Angeles, and I’ve found hardly anybody else who is so capable—frankly. Unlike virtually all other physiotherapists I’ve encountered, you do not assume that you know what is in the athlete’s head when he/she walks in through the door. The physiotherapist is inclined to suppose that what the athlete wants is to get back to full and complete fitness as soon as possible; the athlete, by contrast, is much more likely to seek a modicum of fitness as soon as possible, even though it might delay total and complete fixing of the injury by as much as one third of the lay-off time. I value you because, right from the start, you were prepared to listen to this impatient patient. thoroughly recommend you to anybody seeking top-flight treatment. If anyone wishes to discuss further details, they are welcome to phone me. Warm regards Professor Norman Myers, Oxford." NB While Norman did include his telephone number, I felt it better that I shouldn't put it on the website. If you do wish to speak to him, please contact me and I will put you in touch. Please note also that while some athletes describe me as their 'Physio', my qualification is with the Northern Institute of Massage. | ||
