PATIENT STORY - Sam
Let me introduce you to Sam. A lady who has overcome the odds and is making astonishing progress. Sam was referred to TMH Physiotherapy by her mum after losing almost all hope of her ever making any progress. After 2 years bedbound, weighing over 42st, no progress with NHS therapy and hooked up to 24/7 oxygen she was running out of time to make a change especially following a number of hospital admissions.
Well, change finally came and Tom has been seeing her weekly over the last few months. What else can we say other than that her achievments just keep stacking up!
Teaching her to stand ...Done
Regaining knee stability and balance.....Done
Taking the first steps....Done.
Walking with a frame....Done.
Walking with crutches...Done
Walking outside.....Done
Getting in a car....Done.
To top it all off; with the emotional support and education from Tom, Sam has lost more than 10st over the past few months...no medication...no specialist input....just compassion and dedication to the goal. Thats over 140lbs!!!!.
Whilst she still has oxygen, her needs are less and the plan is for her to be oxygen free in the next year.
Where will the rest of 2026 take Sam, we will have to stick around and find out!!
