Giri and his team at Instep gave my right hand back to me after a crush injury at work in June 2018. Very kind and passionate care by the whole team. I will highly recommend this clinic for all musculoskeletal problems.
Came in with a knee injury. Ligament was hurt, meniscus issues and scar tissue. It’s been about two months now receiving Roop’s help and I can feel such relief. When they put in the effort and us as patients reciprocate and do our exercises at home, you can really feel the improvement. The environment here is wonderful, everyone is happy and treats me with respect. I really appreciate the help and healthy environment this place has.
I have RRMS, and had no idea that physiotherapy could help me. I was having trouble with my hips, legs and back, so researched neuro pt after a nurse practitioner suggested it was worth a try. In Step clinic popped up in my online search repeatedly. I started working with Muthu, and in 3 short weeks, the improvement has been marked. He is a great educator, explaining what muscles we are focusing on and why. He has provided an excellent home stretching and exercise program that I complete everyday. The clinic is lovely and welcoming - friendly staff. The facility is clean and well managed, with appointments happening on time. The ask Giri physio show has taught me about MS and neuro pt, and I plan to watch every episode. Five + stars, and a big thanks!!
