I am proud to share my personal story with you about Nina Ribeiro my OT I have had a left and right hip replacement and right knee replacement I have level 8 on the pain scale ; unable to bend down or sit on the floor, poor balance, unable to go down stairs normally and a host of other mobile issues Nina has been working with me for 8 sessions and I have improved my balance, can go up stairs and walking better I still have the pain level but I feel confident that I am progressing Nina is very caring, patient and encourages me to succeed in getting better Nina has given me guidance on what exercise to do at home and how to maneuver in my daily life Nina is very clear with her instructions and she shows concern and acknowledges my progression with advance exercises to better the outcome Nina is an asset to your organization and I thank you for having her as my OT instructor Thank you
