TESTIMONIALS


Reviews for our therapists

"I have used SMART rehabilitation services for several of my clients to date. I have always found them extremely professional and efficient with the provision of assessment reports and quotes and they can offer highly skilled therapists for complex clients at a competitive rate.



The therapy programmes they offer are bespoke to the individual and client centred and goal orientated - and I have seen excellent results with their provision. Being able to instruct all therapists from one provider provides a seamless MDT approach and one port of call for communication, I believe this is invaluable for the client and the case manager in a complex case especially in the field of brain injury."

"Hi Shruti, me and my family would like to Express our thanks to you for the help you have given our mother.


After suffering another stroke last December she was left with real balance issues and co-ordination problems, on advice from a stroke specialist that her treatment should be physiotherapy we contacted yourself.


In a couple of weeks of therapy with you she has gone from strength to strength she is walking unaided now for short periods and her balance is so much improved, this has given her a lot of confidence back and that in itself is so good to see.


The difference you have made to her is wonderful, she continues with her daily exercises and we are all sure that her recovery will continue.


We would not hesitate in recommending yourself to anybody else in the same situation as our mother, your kindness and patience has been wonderful.


Thankyou once again and keep up the great work you are doing.


Kind regards"

"I had the pleasure of working with Shruti for 4 years whilst at Stocksbridge Neuro Rehab Centre. She is extremely competent, very knowledgeable and a lovely lady to work with. Shruti's approach is exceptional and most importantly, very effective."

"My elderly Mum (aged 87 years) was referred to Shruti by her Consultant Geriatrician following frequent falls, which impacted her mobility to the extent that she could only walk with the assistance of a frame. She had to be helped in and out of bed, could not dress herself or even make herself a cup of tea without assistance and support. After an initial evaluation, Shruti drafted a rehabilitation programme which focused on improving Mum’s balance, posture, breathing, stamina and self confidence. 


Shruti is an enthusiastic and energetic individual with an infectious, motivation style which encourages engagement. She always aims to make her sessions fun and the results of her work have, in our case, been life changing. Mum now walks with only her stick for support, her posture and stability has improved - she hasn’t fallen for over a year. She is now living semi independently; her physiotherapy sessions have given her a new lease of life and I’m sure that Shruti and her team are a major contributor to this fact."

"Shruti has been in-charge of physiotherapy for my 13 year old daughter for last 6 years My daughter is having cerebral palsy( diagnosed as GMFS 5 initially), she could not maintain even a sitting posture at the beginning. Shruti helped us with hands on physiotherapy which made a major change in her physical abilities. My daughter slowly progressed from completely non weight bearing to walking with Rifton pacer, then walking frame to now walking with use of tripods. I would recommend Shruti as a very efficient and friendly physiotherapist without any hesitation."

"I injured my achilles tendon in 2018, which needed surgery to repair it.
I was fortunate enough for Shruti Verma to be treating me in relation to hydrotherapy sessions once I was able to start mobilising. I had sessions twice each week over a number of months. The sessions were an integral part of my recovery and rehabilitation combined with dry land physiotherapy sessions. I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions which were centred around my goals, went at a pace that was comfortable for me and gradually rebuilt my confidence in being able to transition back to day to day activities. I can’t praise Shruti highly enough for what she did to support me in a gently encouraging and reassuring way. She also made the sessions really fun and easy to engage with as well as bringing her considerable expertise to the sessions. Louise"

"In June 2016, I was involved in a high speed road traffic accident.
I had multiple injuries which resulted in multiple surgeries which are still on going. These circumstances resulted in a long period of immobility which left me incredibly weak.


I was referred to Shruti by my rehabilitation nurse initially for hydrotherapy which was probably all I could manage in the way of rehab at that point. I found hydrotherapy so helpful it was the only time I really got relief from the pain and stiffness I was suffering and always felt much better after a session. I was encouraged by Shruti to get in the pool as much as possible, and although I wanted to the facilities were extremely limited.


The main difference for me was the warmth of the water that eased my pains and also needed easy access to the pool. I went at the weekend the odd time to Park rehab in Rotherham which was a problem as I wasn’t driving at the time and twice we got there and there was a problem and I was unable to use the pool. I also tried Zest at Upperthorpe baths but this place was very dirty. Then on Shruti‘s advice started using the pool at the double tree Hilton which is not ideal but best on offer also the times were less restrictive. There is definitely a lack of public facilities for hydrotherapy and I’m sure if it was available it would be widely used. During my time in hydrotherapy my shoulder which hardly moved following the accident was returned to virtually full range of motion. My walking improved and I gained strength by using the water to exercise for an hour at a time which would not have been possible on land. The psychological lift this gave me was immense and gave me a sense of being able to do something to get myself better it was the first time since the accident that I felt back in control. I’ve continued to work with Shruti with on land Physio and her knowledge has helped me regain some core stability and gradually gain strength. Although I’ve still got a long way to go I think the hydrotherapy was invaluable in my recovery and I’m due to go back into the pool to continue to work towards my goals with the help of Shruti.


As you can imagine due to my circumstances I have been treated by many physiotherapists and I can tell you they are not all the same. Shruti has stood out above the rest and is the one that has made the most progress with me. I would recommend her to anyone as I think she has shown such diversity in dealing with all my injuries. It was like some physiotherapists were scared to touch me in case I fell apart and although it has been baby steps she has guided me all the way. I feel with Shruti‘ help I will get back as near to 100% as possible.

"Shruti is an incredibly skilled physiotherapist both in the clinical setting and within the clinical education aspect of her role. We worked for several years together, mainly in the hydro pool, and she taught me a lot of the skills i know and practice today."

"I was an active healthy mother of two, now grandmother up to the age of 70. At that age I developed osteoarthritis which started to impact on my life very rapidly. Unfortunately the NHS seemed unable to provide any significant support and I began to despair. During a discussion with a friend she mentioned that her mother in her late eighties and fast moving towards total immobility was having treatment which had improved her mobility quite remarkably. She recommended Shruti.


At this stage I had to explore every realistic opportunity, I asked Shruti to help. It turned out to be an excellent choice. I now have reassurance, guidance and above all much improved flexibility in my joints from an empathic and professional physio. To those in a similar position to me, I am sure that Shruti is the very person who can provide you with expert and effective help."
