1/5 Paride L. 2 years ago on Google
I
was
referred
to
A.L.O.
by
the
orthopaedic
surgeon
that
visited
me
following
an
injury
on
my
ITB.
I
contacted
Gloria
to
find
out
more
about
the
practice.
She
had
a
very
salesy
approach
which
kind
of
surprised
me
considering
the
nature
of
the
services
provided.
After
realising
my
reluctancy
due
to
the
hefty
session
fee,
she
managed
to
convince
me
by
offering
a
heavy
discount:
from
£140
to
£100
per
session.
I
decided
to
give
it
a
go.
During
a
period
of
4
months
I
had
18
sessions
with
Andre
totalling
£1800.
A
month
after
I
was
seeing
Andre,
he
tried
to
convince
me
to
come
twice
a
week
and
have
an
extra
session
with
another
member
of
the
team.
I
told
him
that
I
couldn't
afford
spending
£800
a
month
in
physiotherapy
treatments.
Andre
is
a
great
guy
but
too
greedy
and
money
hungry.
Any
ethical
professional
in
this
space
should
have
come
up
with
a
plan
by
guaranteeing
certain
results
after
a
number
of
sessions.
If
it
was
for
Andre,
I
was
probably
still
going
there
once
a
week.
After
4
months
I
decided
to
stop
as
I
wasn't
seeing
any
improvements
in
my
leg
nonetheless
I
was
following
Andre
instructions
to
the
letter
in
terms
of
exercises
to
do
at
home.
I
am
an
ex
semiprofessional
tennis
player
so
I
am
very
focused
and
determined
when
it
comes
to
physical
activity.
Following
Andre's
advice
I
even
bought
a
balance
ball
and
a
wobble
balance
board.
During
the
treatment
Andre
came
up
with
a
theory
that
according
to
him
my
ankle
was
the
reason
of
my
troubles.
This
was
never
confirmed
by
the
different
consultants
that
I
have
visited
prior
and
after.
To
me
it
sounded
just
like
a
way
to
convince
to
work
on
another
part
of
my
body
and
keep
having
more
sessions.
Most
of
Andre's
sessions
were
based
on
having
treatments
with
the
Tecar
machine.
Andre
sold
me
such
therapy
as
something
revolutionary
which
is
widely
used
in
Spain
and
Italy
and
rarely
found
in
clinics
in
the
UK.
Again,
no
benefits
whatsoever,
just
a
very
pleasant
sensation
on
my
leg.
There
was
also
another
machine
that
he
used,
don't
recall
the
name,
(see
pic
attached).
Andre
kept
saying
that
he
was
seeing
improvements
but
I
knew
that
my
leg
was
still
sore
and
not
getting
any
better.
Finally
I
decided
to
have
another
consultation
and
following
an
ultrasound
it
was
clear
that
I
had
some
liquid
in
my
ITB
that
needed
a
small
injection
to
be
removed.
Physiotherapy
would
have
not
fixed
my
situation.
If
you
decide
to
use
this
clinic
I
strongly
recommend
you
to
agree
on
a
maximum
number
of
sessions
before
seeing
some
sort
of
improvement,
and
if
that's
not
the
case
walk
away
before
you
spend
way
too
much
money.
