Sat 20 Mar 2021, 13:04 Sadly, the NHS physiotherapy service was cut to the bone about 5 years ago. Very short-sighted, as when people lose their mobility and suffer pain because of an injury, it affects their health in general which potentially puts strain on other NHS services. Private physios do a good job in my experience but not everyone can afford them. |

Sat 20 Mar 2021, 12:51 I can now speak from experience having now had an appointment with Rhiannon. To start off with, sadly it is telephone appt only, after which I was sent a link which provided me with videos of 10 or so exercises relevant to my injury, not quite the same as actually having someone next to you talking you through them & ensuring that they are being performed correctly, but I suppose beggars can’t be choosers. My generation (& older) have been spoilt having memory of such a service (sigh), a thing of the past I fear. I am sure though that if one is struggling or the problem is not being sorted that a face to face consultation will happen, the big problem is with Rhiannon being the sole Physio for the area, I can imagine that there will be a waiting list. Okay for young ‘uns, not so funny for the elderly! 😞 |

Thu 18 Mar 2021, 11:57 From Charlbury Surgery newsletter: “The first contact physiotherapist Rhiannon Stidever started work at the end of January and is kept busy by CMC patients. If you would like a consultation with Rhiannon, please ring reception. Rhiannon works here every Friday and one in four Wednesdays.” |

Thu 18 Mar 2021, 08:08 Does anybody have a recommendation for a local physiotherapist? I saw a woman in Charlbury a couple of years ago but can't find her on the listing here. Thanks |
