Adio's expertise and personalized approach in addressing my tendonitis were exceptional. He accurately diagnosed the issue, provided clear instructions for exercises, and showed genuine care throughout the process...Thank you, Adio, for helping me regain strength and mobility.
We found Adio to be just the right mix of professionalism, friendliness and humor. Within just a couple of weeks, my husband was getting himself up out of his recliner and walking up and down the hallway with his walker - much faster than I expected, after seeing how much my husband had declined while in the hospital!
