Meg’s Story

Meg has always had a stiff walk, especially her hind right leg. Although x-rays did not show any cause for concern we asked to be referred to a physiotherapist for further investigation. Karen was able to provide us with exercises to help build up muscle in Meg’s back and legs and as a result she can now fully extend both her hind legs when walking.

We began by using a pulse magnetic machine to warm up her muscles followed by some stretches that increased in duration over time. Then we started introducing stretches on a platform and wobble board to make Meg really engage her core and other muscles. We could see Meg make progression over just a few weeks.

Karen has also been excellent with her safety procedures during COVID19, she was happy to rearrange a session after me possibly coming into contact with someone who tested positive. Sessions were primarily carried out outside when the weather was nice enough. Karen is a very kind and professional physiotherapist, I would recommend her to anyone.
