“For some years I have been suffering various symptoms which can be related to the effects of spinal stenosis, an arthritic condition, for which I have received appropriate surgery. A second laminectomy performed successfully a year ago, was unfortunately followed by a post operative infection and this resulted in considerable leg and feet pains, which severely affected my mobility and sense of balance. I was able to walk short distances but became totally dependent on either a walking stick or walking poles.
Six months ago, I contacted Helen and within minutes of our first meeting, her laser eye aided by vast experience, was able to diagnose my problem with absolute clarity. Over the next few sessions she provided me with appropriate exercise strategies and sometimes unusual suggestions which I would never would have been able to source on my own.
The result is that within three months of our first session, my walking in terms of distance and speed improved immeasurably, as has my sense of balance. My sticks and poles have now been discarded. I have most recently seen my doctor who was delighted with my improvement and has reduced my prescribed medication.
Generally the quality of my life has considerably improved – well beyond what I would have thought possible six months ago. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the specialist neuro-physiotherapy services that Helen is so brilliantly qualified to provide.”
