TESTIMONIAL
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google Review
Vanessa was recommended to us by a physio because our 18-month-old daughter was walking on her toes.
Vanessa recommended the Turtlebrace as an alternative to serial casting, which we had been told was the approach the NHS would likely have taken.
The zip-on cast allowed our daughter to carry on enjoying her normal day-to-day activities without disruption - we could take it off for a bath, she was able to wear regular shoes and we were even able wash the cast in the washing machine!
Over the following six weeks, Vanessa gradually adjusted the brace to provide a prolonged stretch, and we began to see improvements within the first week.
We have now progressed from the brace to rigid inlays in her shoes, and our daughter is walking heel to toe.
Vanessa has been wonderful to work with - highly knowledgeable, supportive, and professional throughout the process. The results have been amazing to see and our daughter has been comfortable with Vanessa and unphased by the whole process. We would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in a similar situation.
Thank you again, Vanessa, for all your help and support. We are truly grateful.
