After spine surgery left me with nerve damage and in chronic pain Suzanne enabled me to move. On the day of my assessment, I was unable to walk across a room unaided. Through careful, individualised Neuro-Physiotherapy administered with kindness and unfaltering perseverance Suzanne enabled me to trust my body, rebuild muscle strength, coordination and balance. If I was unable to grasp a movement she would, place my body, model the movement and wait patiently for me to achieve. My first major milestone was regaining the capability to put on my shoes and tie my laces. This became the first step to regaining my independence. I thank Suzanne every time I put on my trainers; I am now walking 5K before breakfast (longer at the weekends). I maintain my movement with exercises designed by Suzanne to meet my needs along with Pilates recommended by Suzanne, Tia Chi and Yoga.

This is a wonderful service; in a state-of-the-art building placed in a beautiful setting. Thank you!

movement is  maintained but also to gain improvement in mobility. Firstly, I was treated at home but now attend the new facility which is first class, spacious and conducive to the needs of patients and physiotherapists. The Covid safety measures in place are excellent too. I cannot thank the therapists enough for helping me to gain the best function I can and this improve quality of life.

and informed  that there would be an eight-week delay before the community neuro team could take up my case. At this point I decided to seek help from the private sector and Suzanne was recommended by the then head of the physiotherapy department at Chorley Hospital.

So began the long, unrelenting road to recovery. The uncompromising nature of the therapy and Suzanne’s long-term view of a successful outcome were soon revealed. In one early therapy session I enquired about the possibility of using walking aids (crutches) to be told in no uncertain terms these were not an option because their use would encourage bad habits and that I would walk as naturally as possible unaided
.
2-3 months later with Suzanne’s advice, encouragement guidance and guidance I completed (with the aid of a stick only) two hours of a sponsored walk-in support of a local charity.

In the course of the last 20 months there have been many stalls and plateaux, but Suzanne has not wavered from her overall objective. Her positivity has never faltered, and all therapy sessions have been well-planned and thought out, some with considerable elements of creativity. When, occasionally, further progress has seemed unlikely Suzanne has had the humility and self-confidence to consult and seek guidance from mentors and colleagues (something sometimes lacking in other members of the medical profession)
As well as addressing the considerable challenges of the physical rehabilitation and return to function, Suzanne has also never shied away from addressing the psychological roller coaster of the road to recovery.

She has had the perception to recognise damaging changes in my mood and has not been afraid to use therapy time to address these issues I can only commend her professional expertise, positive attitude and understanding of both physical and psychological aspects of neurological recovery.
