Duncan Mansfield (propietario verificado) –
My personal circumstances really benefited from getting this book.
I live in a rural district in the UK many miles form the nearest hospital, I had 2 visits 1st to diagnose and cast no op the 2nd to remove the cast and put into an aircast for 4 weeks.
I was given a list on the protocol for this injury and told to wait until Physio contacted me.
You can imagine the shock I was in and really the only help I could get was by trawling the internet for advice and information.
This is the NHS very good Staff but very badly managed and quite wasteful on costs.
I managed to find this book which explained the trauma and helped my understanding of this which was more than I received from my health authority.
Carlos also checked in periodically to ask how my progress is going.
I start physio on 31st of March I ruptured on 17th April at least I got some exercises I could do from this book to prepare for the next stage, also great advice on getting through this stage just living with it in rehabilitation, some great tips.
Carlos A. –
Thank you so much, Duncan!
I do appreciate you took your time to write these words.
Keep working out. You´ll get better soon!
Physio hug.
