I had a great experience with Mafalda, who helped me with my back and neck strain. I contacted another physiotherapist before her, but their prices were higher and availability was limited. Mafalda impressed me by responding quickly when I messaged her at 7 PM on a Wednesday; she managed to come to my place by 10 AM the next day. Her professional skills made a huge difference in just one session, and she was very thorough in following up with how I felt afterward. When I needed another session for some lingering neck pain, she came again and it improved significantly. She brought all the necessary equipment with her, so there was nothing for me to worry about. She even helped my mom with her knee issue later on. Her punctuality and strong hands made the service exceptional, and I'm grateful for how effective she was from the first visit.

I went to Mafalda for physiotherapy after a friend recommended her to me. I had a knee injury and she treated me for about three months. I found Mafalda to be very knowledgeable and strong in her approach – she wasn't afraid to tackle the painful spots when it was necessary. Working with her was a pleasure; she's extremely organized, which made scheduling appointments and handling billing a breeze. It was super convenient that she offered home visits, saving me the trouble of traveling. Plus, her services were very well priced. Based on my experience, I've already recommended her to many of my friends.

I had a great experience with Flavia for my physio sessions. She came highly recommended on Facebook and I decided to give her services a try. True enough, she's been fantastic. Flavia is not only kind and friendly but also clearly knows her stuff. Her rates are surprisingly affordable, which is a huge plus. She gave me exercises that were effective and offered plenty of helpful tips. Since starting sessions with her, my back has mostly improved, and the issues with my leg have resolved; she even helped with my hernia trouble. Also worth noting is her punctuality—she's always on time but makes sure to let me know if she'll ever be late. Highly recommend!

Finding a physiotherapist who checks all the boxes isn't easy, but Vanessa definitely passed the test for me. Her personalized approach is outstanding; she takes the time to understand your individual needs through thoughtful questions, which makes her treatment feel truly tailored. Her clinic's cleanliness is top-notch – a perfect 10 in my book. Vanessa's sessions might not be the cheapest, but her professionalism and the results I see make it worth every euro. Punctuality is another strong suit; she’s always on time, if not early. With her friendly demeanor and high energy, every visit feels less like a chore and more like meeting a caring friend. If you need physiotherapy, I can't recommend Vanessa enough.

Vanessa has been an extraordinary therapist for me over the past seven years, supporting me through back pain and the transitional period of having a baby. Her dedication goes beyond professional therapy; she truly showed a remarkable human side that gave me strength and confidence during challenging times. Vanessa's care was unlike any I've experienced, even surpassing my experiences with my family doctor, despite my health insurance providing access to many clinics. Her services, whether at the clinic or visiting my home, always felt safe, clean, and attentive. She was punctual, and communicative, and never made me feel inconvenienced. Vanessa exceeded expectations, providing guidance and reassurance even late into the night when I desperately needed help. Her support as a therapist and a kind-hearted person merits a perfect 10 out of 10 in my view.

I recently booked a physiotherapy session with Flavia for my tendinitis in my arm and shoulder, which causes me daily pain. I must say, I was really impressed by her work. Not only did she conveniently come to my home for the session, but the treatment with her machine significantly eased my pain. The bandages she applied were also quite effective. Flavia truly understood and met my personal needs, leading to a lot of improvement after just one session. I'd definitely recommend her services to anyone dealing with similar issues.
