“I cannot say enough positive things about my experience working with Afrin following my bilateral patellar tendon surgery. After the surgery, I could not walk, bend my knees, or perform even the most basic daily movements.
From our very first session, Afrin brought exceptional clinical expertise, patience, and genuine care. She created a structured rehabilitation plan that was both challenging and realistic, always adjusting it based on my progress and comfort level.
Afrin took the time to explain each exercise and how it contributed to long-term healing. That education gave me confidence and kept me motivated during the toughest stages of recovery.
Today, thanks to Afrin’s guidance, I am walking normally with no pain. I have even returned to squatting and deadlifting.
Afrin is an outstanding physical therapist. I am deeply grateful for her role in my recovery and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone facing rehabilitation after a serious injury or surgery.”
