Aquatic Physiotherapy – Proven Expertise 

"In June 2016, I was involved in a high speed road traffic accident.
I had multiple injuries which resulted in multiple surgeries which are still on going. These circumstances resulted in a long period of immobility which left me incredibly weak.
I was referred to Shruti by my rehabilitation nurse initially for hydrotherapy which was probably all I could manage in the way of rehab at that point. I found hydrotherapy so helpful it was the only time I really got relief from the pain and stiffness I was suffering and always felt much better after a session. I was encouraged by Shruti to get in the pool as much as possible, and although I wanted to the facilities were extremely limited.
The main difference for me was the warmth of the water that eased my pains and also needed easy access to the pool. I went at the weekend the odd time to Park rehab in Rotherham which was a problem as I wasn’t driving at the time and twice we got there and there was a problem and I was unable to use the pool. I also tried Zest at Upperthorpe baths but this place was very dirty. Then on Shruti‘s advice started using the pool at the double tree Hilton which is not ideal but best on offer also the times were less restrictive. There is definitely a lack of public facilities for hydrotherapy and I’m sure if it was available it would be widely used. During my time in hydrotherapy my shoulder which hardly moved following the accident was returned to virtually full range of motion. My walking improved and I gained strength by using the water to exercise for an hour at a time which would not have been possible on land. The psychological lift this gave me was immense and gave me a sense of being able to do something to get myself better it was the first time since the accident that I felt back in control. I’ve continued to work with Shruti with on land Physio and her knowledge has helped me regain some core stability and gradually gain strength. Although I’ve still got a long way to go I think the hydrotherapy was invaluable in my recovery and I’m due to go back into the pool to continue to work towards my goals with the help of Shruti.
As you can imagine due to my circumstances I have been treated by many physiotherapists and I can tell you they are not all the same. Shruti has stood out above the rest and is the one that has made the most progress with me. I would recommend her to anyone as I think she has shown such diversity in dealing with all my injuries. It was like some physiotherapists were scared to touch me in case I fell apart and although it has been baby steps she has guided me all the way. I feel with Shruti‘ help I will get back as near to 100% as possible.
