Quick physio appointment

Quick physio appointment, with really helpful feedback. Also the Lucy virtual app is great for teaching me how to do the exercises and reminding me to do them.

The video call with the physiotherapist was really good. I was a bit skeptical, but the quality of the video and the sound was good, I could understand everything and he was listening carefully. He asked me a lot of questions and provided me with an immediate feedback and gave me some exercises on the app.

Really struggle with these virtual appointments, second time I've had one and not been able to dial in. Previously have had a couple of occasions where follow ups don't get made. Lastly my most recent phone appointment resulted in me getting an appointment miles away (they input the wrong post code) and then turned out they couldn't cancel it.
