Physiologic Hythe Avaliações 

I cannot speak highly enough of Katie at Physiologic, she really changed my life.

At the beginning of my journey I was in so much pain I couldn't function in my daily life, my mobility was poor and I would just lie in bed depressed and feeling like I'd be there forever. Some nights I would be unable to even sleep because of the pain and would just cry for hours.

I felt like my GP wasn't taking my pain seriously, I kept being told it would solve itself, however it was getting worse every month. I gained weight from being so inactive, which only worsened the pain and the strain on my back. I felt like as time went on, the number of issues with my back were also increasing.

After 2 years of struggling through life, I ended up having a breakdown whilst on the phone to my GP, crying that I couldn't even walk into the hospital anymore to visit my terminally ill father and I couldn't go on living like this. Life has no meaning when you can barely move. This seemed to prompt them into taking me more seriously, and I was finally referred to Physiologic.

I was lucky enough to be allocated to Katie. She managed to pinpoint the sources of the pain immediately, and said what she thought my underlying problems might be.

After our session she gave me exercises to do at home alongside my sessions. She suggested an MRI scan to find out what was going on, which I was able to be referred for upon her advice.
Whilst I waited for my MRI appointment I continued the sessions and felt my pain level decreasing steadily.

The results of my MRI were quite significant, although I could not understand them as they weren't fully explained to me by the GP, and there were a number of problems at play.
Physio seemed to be really helping so I told my GP I wanted to continue with this, rather than consider surgery at that time.

Katie was able to interpret my MRI results in a way I could understand, sat with me and went through everything. The results were pretty much what she had suspected from the outset, but helped me keep positive about it, encouraging me and emphasizing that the damage was reversible.

Katie went above and beyond just the physio sessions by advising me of other ways in which my recovery could be aided. She gave me excellent diet advice and because of her I even managed to get a weight management refferal with a dietician and diet counselling which has been extremely valuable to me.
She also recommended I have my blood checked for underlying problems, as I was struggling to lose weight even on a calorie controlled diet. Katie suspected polycystic ovaries or diabeties. It turned out she was correct and I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.

This was actually life-changing, but in a positive way because I could finally adapt my diet to my condition and cutting out carbs and sugar I have now lost half a stone in the past month, which has further helped lessen the strain on my back and aid my recovery. My blood sugar levels have gone from being extremely high to being in the normal-high range and I have much more energy and am finally able to exercise going for walks, doing gardening- simple things that in the past I thought I'd never be able to do again.

Over the course of my treatment my pain went from a 10 to a 0 in just 6 months (10 sessions). I still have odd days when I feel some pain, but it would only be a 1 or 2 on the scale and it's getting better every day. I have kept up the exercises Katie gave me which are helping to bring back the strength to my back as well.
I am truly amazed at the change it has made to my life, and how quickly it happened. I hought I was going to struggle for the rest of my life, so it's such a relief to feel normal again.

I hope Katie and everyone else at Physiologic know what a fantastic job they do, they are excellent at what they do, friendly, reliable and have gone above and beyond. I really felt that they cared about me as a person, not just as a patient, I cannot thank them enough, and I would not hestitate to recommend them.

If you struggle with getting action from your GP like I did, do not give up. Keep calling and explaining how you feel even if it means you have to cry or yell to be heard. You don't have to suffer in silence, your life can be turned around and it's never too late to make a start.

I was referred to Physiologic Hythe by my GP for my painful arms & shoulders The pain was keeping me awake of a night & living on pain killers that didn’t work I was treated by Venkat Devaraya with acupuncture & exercises I’m pleased to say the treatment has been very successful virtually no pain now & no more pain killers as I don’t need them anymore. thank you Venkat

Satisfied with treatment and consultant Venkat Devaraya pleasant demeanour.(especially as Acupuncture less painful than expected)

Thank you Venkat Devaraya for your excellent work during my physio for hand and shoulder. It has certainly made a difference for me. He was very caring and professional and I would have no hesitation in returning to him if i needed physio again. maureen watson

I was referred to physio by my GP due to a fractured spine. I cannot express my gratitude for the treatment received by Venkat. Thank you for all your help.

I was referred by my GP for physio on my left leg due to severe pain which affected sleeping and discomfort when walking. I was treated by Venkat Devaraya for arthritic pain and varicose veins. After six sessions of acupuncture and massage plus exercise I am amazed at the improvement. My sleep and walking is much improved. I highly recommend Venkat and physiologic. Carole G

I have had 3 appointments referred
through the NHS with Venkat Devaraya. It was to treat my Hamstring Tendonopathy as I was having pain walking distance and the top of my leg was always aching.
Venkat gave me treatment and advised me of a course of exercises to improve the ache and pain.
I can now report that my leg is so much better through his treatments and exercise advice. The ache has almost disappeared and I am able to walk a number of miles without pain.
I am now going private to see him once every six weeks to discuss any other pains I might get and review how matters have progressed.
I am approaching 70 years and am more than happy keep a regular appointment to ensure my mobility and general body health is maintained. Good Job Venkat! John Ebdy.

Emma has been my pelvic-floor physio for a few months now and she's made a world of difference to me. With her support I've gone from worrying that I would need surgery to being able to go on a bouncy castle with my kids with no issues.
It's not just the physio that she's been amazing with either - she's so in tune with her patients too. I was having a tough time a few weeks back and she noticed things weren't right, gently nudged me into talking and helped me get help before things spiralled. My wife credits Emma with keeping me healthy and out of hospital.

I can thoroughly recommend Emma Dorban-Hall Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and empathic

I can’t recommend Emma enough she is highly professional and knowledgeable!
She makes you feel at ease with her friendly personality.
I have been a client of Emma’s for a while now and I always leave with a smile on my face and feeling very satisfied with the results.
Thank you Emma :)

I would like to express my appreciation of the excellent treatment I received from Venkat Devaraya. At my first appointment he immediately identified the cause of my problem that two other physiotherapists had failed to recognise and his treatment brought about immediate improvement. After just three sessions I am now walking long distances with no discomfort and have given up my walking stick and pain killers. He has changed my life - I cannot thank him enough and recommend him highly.

had treatment for an injury to my arm whilst after just 4 or 5 sessions was fixed by the wonderful Venkat Devaraya cant thank him enough

I have been treated by both Charles Tan, prior to his vacation at Christmas, and then Venkat Devaraya both of whom I am extremely satisfied with.

Charles did the initial NHS referral for passive manipulation for a complex upper limb fracture. His broad range of knowledge is demonstrated in his competence, confidence and professionalism. I had been unable to rest and sleep was just an illusion because of high pain levels but after my treatments I was able to sleep for longer and this accrued with the course. Painkillers didn't even touch the pain.

I then carried on with Venkat Devaraya. Venkat is combining his skills as an acupuncturist in addition to those as a physiotherapist. I came to Venkat unable to move my injured arm more than a small amount. I could barely dress and undress myself. I now have a wide range of movement and am independent thankfully. Venkat adjusts his approach according to the goals of the person and he remains focused upon attaining same.

Venkat has demonstrated a wide skill base, a confident and effective approach to my complicated injury and although I have been discharged as having improved satisfactorily I am continuing privately so take my recovery even further.

I have every confidence in the excellent training of these two practitioners. Their profiles do not do their skills and knowledge justice.

Just had my 4th osteopath session (this year) with Aiyana and can report my overall walking has improved and the pain levels in major joints (due to osteoarthritis & older age) have reduced and my overall mobility has improved compared with 6 months ago. Aiyana is a brilliant osteopath, listens to what I tell her about my body and its osteopathic needs, and delivers thorough, joint & spine function manipulation and stretching. Aiyana is a kind, professional and effective osteopath - I recommend her most highly. Aiyana also provides osteopathetic services for horses and other larger animals.

After having a bad back for ages I finally feel relief. I can continue to run again and just completed a marathon after just 2 sessions. Thanks Venkat 👍

Excellent and friendly service from Venkat, really helped my back and knee problems. experienced acupuncturist, put me at ease particularly as I was concerned about the procedure. Susan Sands.

Venkat has helped me resume normal mobility and activity after months of pain due to bursitis. The acupuncture, combined with manipulation, has transformed my life and I can now go up stairs and climb hills again! I’ve been able to resume doing all the activities I love. Thank you Venkat.

First class and professional service with care. Would highly recommend.

I damaged my shoulder in a mountain bike accident at the end of August 21. I suffered chronic pain and interrupted my sleep for four months until I was referred to Physiologic and saw Venkat in early January. The discomfort began to subside very shortly after the first appointment, and I began to regain a greater range of movement within days of the performing the prescribed exercises. Now, after four appointments I am amazed at my progress and feel virtually back to normal. Many thanks Venkat.
