Very supportive Therapists and staff at the Fidi location! My PT Khawlah was the best, she was kind, patient, asked questions and checked in regularly on how I was feeling. She also encouraged me to do more challenging exercises and to push my limits where possible knowing that I was capable and that it will benefit me in the long run.
