I'm over the moon with the work that Therapies on Thames physio team are doing with my father. Not only is he making major progress but he's also enjoy himself with the reassurance and confidence the team are able to support him with. I wouldn't have any hesitations to recommend Raj and his team to anyone who has just left hospital and need of support with rehabilitation.

After a long stay in Icu and a further 3 weeks on a ward in hospital recovering from a major operation, my 84 year old father had a Failed Hospital Discharge. After a gruelling night trying to help my father climb the stairs to bed (resulted in him crawling for an hour), we honestly thought my dad would not survive the night, very breathless and extremely weak, he was bedbound, confined to the bed. Out of desperation we hastily researched private help, almost giving up until we found Therapies on Thames. From the moment my husband made the call, Raj was extremely reassuring, calm and very helpful. He promptly made an appointment to visit my father a few days later and our minds were completely put at rest by his professionalism from day one. He assured my mum, sister and I that in 3 weeks my father would be back to how he was pre-op - something we just could not visualise - so much so, we all cried with disbelief! Throughout the 3 weeks my father was provided with daily physio care by a team of 3 very caring physiotherapists. They worked with him at his pace, never pushing him, but kindly encouraging him to slowly build his strength and teaching him to breathe rather than rush and panic. The results have been simply amazing! True to their word, after being a very frail, weak bedroom bound man, he is now able to freely climb the stairs up and down with the aid of Wall rails and sometimes a crutch. The day we were able to take my dad out to lunch after 7 weeks of hospital beds and his home bed, was an absolute joy! We could never, ever imagine this day would happen. In fact my father seems more able now than he was before being rushed to hospital all those weeks ago! We haven't been able to thank Raj and his excellent team enough. Their commitment, kindness, calmness and politeness have been immense. We wouldn't hesitate for one moment about recommending them or asking for their assistance again in the future if needed. They have been absolutely tremendous.

The physiotherapy my mother has had from Therapies on Thames has played an essential role in her rehabilitation. As she recovers from a stroke and major operation, they have continually pushed her forwards, working her hard while all the while encouraging her, building her confidence and praising her efforts. She wanted me to write here about the “amazing difference” they have made over just six weeks. From spending almost all her time in bed (and initially telling them she didn’t want to get up), she’s gone to being up all day long, able to sit up and stand up on her own, to walk with a walking frame and to stand without it now. She can also peddle for 17 minutes at a time now as they have gradually been building up the strength in her legs. Her confidence in her ability to do more has been transformed and we are very grateful.

Great care of Mum. Very impressed by the general health checks taken every visit before any physiotherapy starts - blood pressure, oxygen levels, etc. Gentle and sensitive increase in suitable exercises to encourage improvement in mobility and general muscle strengthening.

My father had a distressing and difficult admission to hospital over Christmas 20/21. On his discharge to a care home with my mother, he was unable to transfer out of bed and required a hoist. He was unable to feed himself and was incontinent. He had great care from the Home team, who alerted me as soon as he showed signs of recovery that therapy would be of benefit. The Therapies on thames team responded and were able to interact with my dad so that he was able to begin his journey back. They have been brilliant and he is now able to walk with 1 person and a frame, he needs no support with feeding and is recovering his ability to be continent. As a physio myself, i was not at all sure he would be able to walk again, and so this has been a very significant improvement and has improved the quality of his life immensely. The team are also supporting my mum now as she was reporting shoulder pain and was having difficulty standing up from a chair. This has also improved and she is not complaining of pain. A brilliant team.

Therapy on Thames are amazing. The difference they have made to so many of our residents is lovely to see. Thank you. I am so glad we are continuing to work together.

My husband Mike has become increasingly immobile during Covid, culminating in 2 falls last week. Adult social care had put him on a waiting list for 2022! Raj fitted him in on Saturday morning, was both calm and helpful. Hopefully with Physio, we can improve his life.

Raj and team are absolutely brilliant - you will be looked after genuinely and professionally. Raj provides honest advise and tailored approach that suits the client rather than a box standard/template version. We really appreciated the help and would highly recommend this organisation.
