My name is Marilu. I consulted Dr. Echeverri following an injury to my left leg in a skiing accident. This pain later developed into back pain. I didn’t know what it was, and my spirits were low. A CT scan finally showed that I had torn my external left meniscus. The doctor told me straight away that surgery was out of the question, which was a relief. He suggested a program of muscle re-education (2x / week) for my lower limbs and back.
Already in the second week of physiotherapy, I noticed changes. There was less pain. Thanks to a program adapted to my specific problem, I gradually regained strength in my leg.
I was looked after by a great team (professionals who speak several languages, including Spanish). I felt more confident and supported. I’m very grateful because the exercises and advice given have made a very positive change in my daily life.
I’m really glad I did the program I was asked to do so I could get back to normal life. Although I couldn’t see any way out of my problem, the staff supported me at a time when my morale was low. I would therefore highly recommend using the services of Dr. Echeverri and his team at the Dr.E. Rehabilitation Center before going ahead with an operation.
