Last time I needed physiotherapy, it was a less than positive experience. The first clinic I tried turned out to be totally disorganised, had not joined the 21st century yet (no computers!), so everything from phone numbers/addresses to appointments to notes and journals was scribbled on scraps of paper which were floating around everywhere and appointments were cancelled frequently without notifying me because they could not find my phone number (and of course they were not using something as modern as e-mail – this was about six year ago ……).

The next one I tried I just for some reason did not particularly like, and the sessions were really heavy going to get through. I remember seriously considering skipping the last couple (out of ten) sessions. It has to be said that they seemed competent enough, and I did feel an improvement.

This time, every session was a breeze. Praxis für Physiotherapie near Alexanderplatz was extremely organised in terms of giving out appointments, and the appointments were kept completely punctually. Valentin could not have been more competent, knowledgeable, pleasant, and plainly good company.

I have gone from hating to liking physiotherapy and if and when I need another ten sessions, I will definitely go back there.
