BENEFITS OF HOMECARE
Manuel has been my physiotherapist for several years. I appreciate his attention to detail, especially when explaining the cause of (and solution to) my injury. On top of everything, Manuel is extraordinarily professional, friendly and empathetic - he truly cares about your recovery. Manuel combines education, exercise and manual therapy in every session and, over the many years, has always been able to help me recover from my various injuries.
Manuel is as kind and caring as he is competent and knowledgeable. My experience has been extremely positive from his thorough assessment to his effective treatments.
I highly recommend his professional services.
Highly recommended. I had shoulder replacement surgery and quickly regained movement and strength back based on his therapy.
