“Where do I start, from the moment I met Michelle I knew she was one of the most genuine and caring women I have ever met and believe me in my job I meet many! Having suffered for months after a fall down the stairs my small finger had ligament damage and was badly bent, i was in so much pain. I travelled from Fermanagh which was a 2hr drive!”
L Taylor
Maternity Nurse
“I saw Michelle after cubital tunnel release surgery last year . I had been experiencing ulnar clawing, numbness and tingling of my fourth and fifth fingers of my dominant hand. I work using my hands in a lab which was becoming increasingly difficult and often painful. From the very start Michelle was amazing, I received excellent care that was patient focused to my needs. ”
Z Dowds
Hockey Player
“I can’t recommend Michelle highly enough. I came to her with a hand injury that I was really worried might stop me from working – I’m a working musician, so it was a real worry. From the very first session, her knowledge and thorough approach put my mind at ease. I’m now busier than I have been since 2020 and my hand is feeling great. ”
C McDonald
Professional Musician
“Michelle Razo has been an absolute breath of fresh air for our 9 year old daughter who has hemiplegia cerebral palsy affecting the left side of her body, particularly her hand. We've been seeing Michelle for several years now and the difference in our daughter's hand movement and strength is truly remarkable. Michelle’s approach is not only effective but also incredibly compassionate. ”
Z Kyle
“Three months after an unfortunate accident which traumatised, fractured and shortened the smallest finger of my dominant hand, I had the privilege of being referred for Hand Therapy to Michelle Razo. Michelle was always kind, knowledgeable and professional while setting achievable goals and challenging me to persevere and believe in the process of recovery.”
A Brown

“Following surgery after sustaining a fracture dislocation of my left elbow, I discovered uncomfortable tension in my left hand and lack of mobility in my index finger. Michelle’s knowledge and expertise, through a personally tailored program of guided exercises has made immeasurable difference and has improved my dexterity and confidence completely. Her warm, reassuring approach made sessions enjoyable and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as an excellent hand therapist.”
