Customer Testimonials
Mel at Animate was recommended to me and I am grateful she was. Highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable, Mel pinpointed (literally, dry needling was part of the treatment!) the cause of my ongoing knee problem and then quickly rectified a secondary issue hidden behind the primary one. What a relief - both from the pain and to know there is a brilliant physio close at hand!
Mel is fantastic! After injuring my back I saw another physio twice and had absolutely no relief. I was in agony and on very strong meds to help but every step I took was excruciating. I couldn’t get comfortable anywhere. I reached out to Mel and she saw me that day. What a difference! She listened to my concerns and used several different methods (even though I am scared of dry needling) to get the best results. I went back two days later (yesterday) and can say that I woke up this morning and didn’t wince in pain trying to get out of bed!! I can’t recommend her enough. She also treats my dad’s knee and has even done needling on my dog after tearing her ACL. Is there anything Mel can’t do? I’m beginning to think not! Thanks Mel!!
Mel is an outstanding physiotherapist. Her diagnostics are second to none. After 6 years of experiencing chronic pain and visiting many specialists, one visit with Mel and she identified my issue. With her treatment, it was better within weeks!
After a bad experience with a therapist, we finally found the best in Mel at Animate. Not only is she an expert in her field. She is respectful and kind, making me feel at absolute ease. Thank you!
Could not recommend Mel enough! Her professionalism, treatment and care is amazing and I always walk away feeling amazing. To have someone like this at our doorstep in Hastings is a blessing.
I have been going to Mel for a few years now with an ongoing issue with my neck after several operations. I find her very good, she is understanding and helpful and she goes beyond her appointment and messages me to make sure everything is okay. I highly recommend Mel.
While experiencing a debilitatingly sore lower back I spoke with Mel over the phone and she was really helpful. She gave me advice on what the issue was likely to be and what I should do. Thank you so much Mel!
Mel - Precious Heart ♥️ I can never be able to Thank you sweetheart enough , for the improvement I’m actually seeing , after so little visits !!! I have personally tried other physios , chiro’s , Chinese massage and Myotherapy , but no one actually diagnosed what the problem was and it continually came back and just didn’t go !!! You Honeybunch have given me back my belief in medical practitioners , that you must never give up and there will be that one person that goes that little bit more and further for you ! Mel I can honestly say , IS ALL about helping people and what she believes in , reducing the constant pain so you will be pain free, rather than just taking peoples money and wasting your time with no progress !!! She’s one in a million !!! Thankyou from the bottom of my heart , I’m not running marathons yet Lovely but I’m finally on the right track !!! ♥️
