Some Words from Our Patients
Kristina Laven
I underwent ACL reconstruction surgery and was referred to Anika from another physio patient of hers. My post-surgery rehabilitation has been so much smoother than I ever anticipated and it is all thanks to Anika. She is cautious, yet knows when it’s safe to push me and I have made huge strides under her care. Not only is she an expert in her field, but she is present, makes you feel at ease, and always gives sound advice. Anika successfully diagnosed an infection in my knee after surgery and I am so grateful her keen eyes helped me catch the problem before things got worse.
