What Dora’s Patients say…

“I had a nagging shoulder injury that couldn’t be solved by all kinds of other professionals. A friend recommended LV and in a couple months my shoulder was great!. I still see Dora from time to time and stay on top of my exercises. Best decision I’ve made for my health and I’ve recommended LV to several family and friends.”
“I developed Bell’s Palsy in early July. I started with LV right away and Dora was able to kick start my recovery with acupuncture and electric stimulation. Typically the recovery for this ailment is long and tedious but I am convinced that with the help of LV Physiotherapy, my overall recovery time was drastically reduced. Thanks!”
“My Physiotherapist, Dora is very helpful and knowledgeable. The staff are polite and courteous. They help in any way they can to make your stay safe. I would recommend LV Physiotherapy to my family and friends.”
“This great clinic has an amazing team of knowledgeable professional physiotherapists. Warm, caring, supportive and compassionate. I’ve been coming here almost a year for physiotherapy for treatment of left side weakness after a stroke. My personal treatment includes a variety of exercises and stretches all targeting my specific weaknesses. I am learning to walk and am gaining strength in my left leg and arm. My balance, walking and endurance have improved. I am stronger and closer to my goal to be able to walk a short distance without assistance. I am thankful for the excellent treatment I have received from Dora and Mike.”
