Testimonials

I contacted Vicky from Reigate Physio after I suffered a broken left wrist. I had very limited movement and grip strength once the cast was removed and found myself unable to complete the temporary wrist exercises as prescribed by the NHS without experiencing extreme pain.

Following a thorough pre-assessment she proceeded to visit me at home for 2 therapy sessions. It was immediately evident that Vicky was very knowledgeable and experienced, yet up to date with the recent advances in therapy. She quickly identified the reasons for my pain and limited movement. After the first session I noticed an impressive improvement. I only required one further session to regain my desired functioning ability.

Throughout the process Vicky had a very calm and professional demeanour which reassured me that I was in good hands. I will not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone.

I first went to see Vicky Gale for a sharp knee pain that was stopping me from working and catching me whenever I went down stairs.  In the assessment, Vicky identified compensatory changes,that had occurred following a previous disc bulge in my lower back, that had altered the way I walked placing the wrong sort of pressure on my knee. Over a number of weeks, Vicky addressed imbalance in the muscles of my feet, legs and torso to enable me to function efficiently.

I am now back working as a courier, which is very physical, and can complete nearly 13,000 steps  pain free.   Vicky is an incredibly knowledgeable physiotherapist who not only knows her stuff but makes you feel very relaxed, with great analogies to help you understand what an injury has done and how the work she is doing, including exercises you are asked to complete, will help.  I simply cannot recommend her enough!

Vicky’s treatment for my tendonitis was thorough, efficient and effective. She also worked on my general posture and emailed exercises – has helped my breathing. A satisfied patient!

For four months I suffered a bout of chronic constipation and was prescribed several types of medication to try to alleviate my condition.

Nothing worked permanently and some made me feel quite unwell. I am so thankful that the gentle, completely pain free manipulation by Vicky has encouraged my lazy system back into action.

I wholeheartedly recommend her skills.

(My husband) Tom first saw Vicky three years ago after he suffered a large brain stem stroke which left him with severe mobility issues.

She was always very professional and encouraging as Tom progressed from doing exercises in bed to being able to walk a few steps.

Tom suffered from post stroke fatigue and her approach was always tailored to his capabilities on a particular day. Each session always ended on a positive note with some achievement being made.

I first sought treatment because I was having regular bouts of dizziness which were worsening in nature accompanied by unsteadiness when walking as if I were on a boat at sea. I was recommended to Vicky by my wife and I have been treated remotely via WhatsApp video.

Vicky has been very thorough and helpful and sends exercises and instructions to me in emails for clarity. Already, I can have two or three weeks without any problems at all. When I do become dizzy it is less severe and settles more quickly than before. Vicky is continuing to treat me.

I found her personal care and attention very reassuring and effective. I would certainly recommend her expertise and support to those seeking excellent service.

I have worked with Vicky on and off in the NHS over a couple of years to help support me with pain management and mobility issues due to my rare neurological condition, and I now see Vicky privately. I have had treatment from several physiotherapists over the years which have not been particularly beneficial, or targeted towards my condition. Being treated by Vicky has made a huge difference to me and how I live my life – she has taught me about the workings of my body and where to attribute the source of pain, as well as techniques to manage independently. I would strongly recommend Vicky as a clinician either long-term or for a brief treatment. For me, the difference has been immeasurable and has sustained long-term change and I would advocate for the type of specialist therapy Vicky is highly trained in.

I was encouraged by someone who had been treated by Vicky to contact her due to shoulder pain/ damage that I had suffered with for 5 months. I tried a couple of physiotherapists which had no impact, and the only likely next step was to be surgery. After the first appointment, I noticed an immediate difference and a significant reduction in pain. I was amazed by the difference one session made, and will continue to see Vicky. I am relieved to not need an operation to treat the pain.
