In 2013, I returned to Hanover after being away for 30 years. I required the help of a physiotherapist at that time, so my first exposure to Hanover Physiotherapy & Sports Rehabilitation was simply as a patient in need. I was so pleased with the remarkable service and nurturing care, that I now have joined this caring team as a front-line greeter, receptionist and administrative assistant.
