"Acknowledgement of Marika Physiotherapy department"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Gynaecology King Edward Memorial Hospital / Pelvic Pain Clinic

(as the patient),

I would like to formally acknowledge Marika from the Physiotherapy Department for her exceptional care, support, and dedication in helping me manage my endometriosis and pelvic pain.

From the beginning of my treatment earlier this year, Marika has consistently shown me genuine kindness and compassion. She always makes me feel cared for, respected, and heard. My thoughts, experiences, and opinions are never dismissed; instead, she works with me to ensure my care plan is collaborative and tailored to my needs. Her ability to truly listen is rare and deeply appreciated.

I have seen significant improvements since starting physiotherapy with her, not only physically but also in feeling more confident and supported in my healthcare journey. Marika has advocated for me every step of the way, and as a woman navigating endometriosis, this means more than words can express. Unfortunately, in my experience it is uncommon to encounter medical professionals who genuinely listen to and validate your experiences, and Marika does so consistently and wholeheartedly.

I am incredibly grateful for her dedication, empathy, and the safe environment she creates. I want to recognise her outstanding work and express my sincere appreciation for the positive impact she has had on my health and wellbeing.

Dear Lovekj55,

I was delighted to read how well supported you have felt under the care of physiotherapist Marika. It is clear that the safe space Markia provides along with her collaborative care approach and clear care for your wellbeing has allowed you to feel heard and had a positive impact on your endometriosis journey despite the unfortunate experiences you have received navigating care previously.

It will give me great pleasure to share your sincere appreciation with Marika and the wider Physiotherapy Department here at King Edward Memorial Hospital.

Kind regards,

Kirstie
