Speaker: John Osbourne
How did you feel before coming to Hatt Clinic?
John Osbourne: I felt very unfit, um, probably because I'd been nursing my wife for 2 years and I hadn't been doing any exercise, really. so that I also had a very bad bout of sciatica, which was very painful at nighttime. So I went to the doctor who recommended that I have physiotherapy, and I had been to hats before, before I had when I had my hips replaced, and I therefore went straight to hatts in Frome.
How has your activity or quality of life changed since visiting Hatt Clinic?
John Osbourne: I saw Jill, the physiotherapist at Frome, who was excellent, and she recommended a programme of rehab, muscular therapy, and also physiotherapy. I started a weekly course of rehab straight away and a six-weekly attendance at, physio and also manual therapy. Within a short time, my sciatica stopped completely and has never recurred, and I started to feel fit and like I was before. I've been an active sportsman all my life and have kept myself fairly fit.
Would you recommend Hatt Clinic, and if so, why?
John Osbourne: I've been going to Hatt at Frome now for nearly a year and I'm thoroughly happy with the results. I feel well. I'm able to walk quite long distances now. I've had holidays and all, all being well, it's very, very satisfactory. I think the staff at Hatts in Frome are excellent, very friendly, very helpful, and have guided me from being very unfit. To a person who's fit and thoroughly enjoying life. By the way, I celebrated my 90th birthday last week. Thanks again to Hatts.
