Read Victoria’s full testimonial
Victoria’s own account of her recovery and sporting ambitions. Her studies and training refer to when she wrote it.
I tore three ligaments in my ankle while playing basketball and was recommended by a family friend to come and see Felix and his team at Rehab & Performance Physiotherapy Pattaya to start my rehabilitation.
We initially worked through basic rehab and started to see some progress but, I was still experiencing pain and discomfort. I then had an MRI and after discussion with my family, coaches, and Felix we decided that surgery was the best way forward.
Following surgery, Felix and his team guided me through my recovery, from learning to put weight on my ankle and walk again to eventually playing football. Their knowledge and approach, alongside the high tech equipment available, played a huge part in helping me return to high paced sport.
I still work with Felix on S&C training to become a stronger, quicker and better athlete. I am currently studying in London on the High Performance Scholar Programme and looking to play professionally.
Without Felix and his team’s dedication, support and willingness to help with my challenging case, I would not be where I am today or have the opportunities I have now!
I would strongly recommend Felix and his team to anyone recovering from injury, whether you are an athlete or not.
This is Victoria’s individual experience, not a prescribed recovery timeline.
