"Coming here has changed my life because this place is helping me get back on my pins!"

Becky

 

“Last month, I had an intensive week of therapy at TheraMAX, while my family had a short holiday in the Algarve.

Once I got over the surprise of finding such a sophisticated and well-equipped facility in the picturesque village of Alte in the depths of central Algarve, I quickly realised that Jodi is an exceptional therapist.

I have been disabled for a decade and in that period I have tried many different approaches and styles of physical therapy. Without doubt, Jodi is one of the very best therapists with whom I have worked. In particular, her gait analysis is superb. My mobility is poor and my walking style was very idiosyncratic and would not have looked out of place in a Monty Python sketch. Jodi helped me very quickly and my walking is already improving almost beyond recognition. Also I am speeding up.  Already, I am making plans to return to Theramax as soon as possible - hopefully for a longer visit.

I recommend TheraMAX without reservation.”

"I have the highest regard for her professional ability, and have made considerable progress with mobility since becoming one of her clients, to the extent that I have recently felt confident enough to go back to work. Jodi is a skilled therapist, capable of making a significant difference to her clients"

"I dread to think what condition my body would have been in - I was told that I would be confined to a wheelchair, I am now able to walk unaided. I have 100% confidence in the therapy - it has become an integral part of my lifestyle. Being based in Portugal, theraMAX is a 'winning combination' - excellent therapy combined with the good weather is an absolute bonus!"

"I have had hours of therapy elsewhere, but have definitely found this to be the most beneficial. When one has had so much therapy, one soon is able to identify the therapists commitment and skill - the therapy received here is un-matched elsewhere!"

"The approach is flexible, immensely practical and often quite ingenious, when a new angle to a problem is required.

Improvement with spinal cord injury is slow, frustrating and laborious, but I can attribute a large measure of progress to Jodi's technique, perseverance and encouragement.

The approach is direct, realistic and scientific. There is pressure when necessary but also encouragement and a sympathetic ear when the going is tough. I value the patience and focused concentration, as well as the obvious commitment to the disabled."
