Having very limited mobility after a severe stroke, TherapyMatters have helped me to stand longer and to develop my ‘transfers’ skill from chair to chair. We have also achieved the goal of getting in and out of the car. I have no hesitation in recommending TherapyMatters.
Daniel and Karen Wirral 19th May 2014
Daniel has now had four sessions at Therapy Matters. After each session, his muscles are better aligned and his brain is more aware of what he is doing physically. He always suffered clonus of the right affected stroke leg (a trembling of the muscles) which he used to stop by putting his weight on the leg. Using a technique taught during a Therapy Matters session, Daniel can control this clonus with thought. He thinks of his right toes, which he has been helped to identify through therapy, and he can now stop trembling.
Clare, his physiotherapist has also worked on his leg and hip alignment. He is more aware of his hip and right leg and I am able to help his alignment each night. His right lower leg was always swollen and poorly aligned in the muscle. Clare has worked on this limb and stopped it from swelling. Daniel’s leg and ankle are better aligned and positioned.
What does this mean for us as a family? Well, Daniel is pain free. He is learning to walk better as his muscles are stronger and better shaped. He is more aware of his limbs. I even have hope that with continued therapy, Daniel will gain some function of his right hand and arm.
Therapy Matters has continued the work started during the week long session Bobath training course for Physiotherapists. The staff at Clatterbridge have been amazed at the difference in Daniel. He has gone from strength to strength, despite setbacks. I have every confidence that Daniel will continue to improve following more sessions at Therapy Matters.
We would like to thank you for all the work you have put in on Phil’s behalf. We have seen a great improvement in his condition, and were very thrilled to see the video taken of him walking.
Two years ago, mum suffered a serious infection which lead to the amputation of her right leg, above the knee. When she finally came home after spending five months in hospital she was extremely weak and could not leave her bed without the use of a hoist, or change her position within it without the use of a slide sheet.
We were desperate for help and rang the Nuffield Hospital, who recommended Therapy Matters.
We are delighted that they did so.
From the moment Therapy Matters physiotherapists entered our home they have been a source of hope and encouragement. Thanks to their skill and patience and mum’s determination and courage, there has been a steady improvement in her condition.
Mum can now get out of bed without even needing a transfer board, she can stand easily and can transfer into her shower chair, and so can finally enjoy using her new wet room.
We are delighted that mum is now stronger and confident enough to transfer from her wheelchair into the front passenger seat of our car, and she has recently enjoyed lovely drives in the autumn countryside and trips to the shops.
With the help of Therapy Matters we are looking forward to further improvements in the quality of her life.
