PATIENT UPDATE - Margaret

Well its been a couple of months since we last posted about Margaret but what a difference!!

This lovely and determined lady was originally admitted to hospital following a fall; from which she sustained a fractured left hip as well as a dislocated left shoulder.

On our first post we had managed to progress her from using a hoist to a rotunda with some early signs of stepping. With further weekly Physio sessions Margaret can now not only walk with her frame around the house, but she can also access outdoors by completing the steps to her front door.

This is what can happen when a specialist Physio service and a top level care team from Home Instead Ashby, Burton & Derbyshire work in partnership to truly provide a bespoke rehab service for our elderly clients.

Just in this month!!

Latest research from 2025 shows that high quality home based specialist physiotherapy, carried out face to face, is significantly more effective at improving mobility and functional independence in patients following stroke.

This is when compared to hospital based stroke rehabilitation or the use of unsupervised home exercise sheets provided by physiotherapists.

The comparitive improvements are at least 30% across all outcome measures with some scores showing up to 5x the improvement.

Its great to see that high level research is backing up what we do here at TMH Physiotherapy.

Well done Mase Rowley for making such an immediate difference for a client in need. Ever the amazing Physio and much appreciated by so many of our clients.

It was such a great pleasure to be able to provide Alexie with her home physiotherapy following such a traumatic ordeal which that has been publicised by the BBC recently.

Facing months in a wheelchair, Alexie contacted us from hospital desperately searching for specialists to provide the much needed rehabilitation needed so that she could return home rather than going to another hospital unit; the idea of which was making her so upset and feeling hopeless.

After an assessment and rehab planning with Tom, Alexie then received weekly sessions with Jess and the results speak for themselves.

Alexie has regained her ability to walk! She is also back to running and football training in such a short time.

It's been a pleasure to support her and just shows what can happen with you combine a bespoke specialist neuro rehab team with a young determined client.

Many thanks to Jess on getting Alexie her life back!

PATIENT STORY - Beryl

Let me introduce you to Beryl. This lovely lady at the grand age of 98 was referred to us initially for a home assessment in order to see if she can use a rotunda to stand after being nursed in bed for months following various hospital admissions and failed home therapy.

Beryl has advanced Alzheimers dementia as well as a posterior stroke and as such deals with many challenges for both her and her loving family that support around the clock alongside the amazing carers from Home Instead Ashby, Burton & Derbyshire .

Because of her dementia, nobody initially thought that she had any potential to regain mobility. But we were convinced that the part of her brain which deals with motor planning and postural processing was not yet affected...and after all, we if anyone, will always give a client the best chance possible especially if they have been left behind before.

So after some postural processing correction and neuro-rehabilitation this is Beryl after only a few sessions. Today not only can she walk a few steps but she has walked from her bed throughout her house to her much loved conservatory to have a cuppa in the sun with Tom.

Her mood, cognition and general health has drastically improved and whilst she still has some obvious issues to battle, her quality of life is already drastically better and we are here for the journey side by side with her.

PATIENT STORY - Margaret

Let me introduce you to Margaret.

This lovely and determined lady was recently admitted to hospital following a fall; from which she sustained a fractured left hip as well as a dislocated left shoulder.

Following orthopaedic surgery she was moved to a NHS rehab ward for a couple of weeks and then to a community rehab centre for another month.

Despite inpatient Physio, she was unable to progress and was unfortunately discharged to a local care home as a hoist transfer...unable to stand and unable to care for herself.

This is where TMH Physiotherapy came in. As part of our Home Instead Ashby, Burton & Derbyshire partnership we worked with Margaret at the care home and together managed to get her home within just a few weeks.

Combined with weekly Physio sessions and self directed rehab exercises; this is her progress now in a little over a month!

Margaret is now able to stand and is rapidly learning to walk again using her frame. Soon we plan for her to be able to walk with the care team and from there we will start to teach her to walk with a kitchen trolley so she can become independently caring once more.

This is what can happen when a specialist Physio service and top level care team from Home Instead work in partnership to truly provide a bespoke rehab service for our elderly clients.

What a great meal and meeting with such an amazing group of people that make up the TMH Physiotherapy and SLT family. Unfortunately a couple of our valued members couldn't make it this time and they were sorely missed!!!

Despite the challenges of the last few years; notably the months of business closures during the COVID lockdowns in 2020/2021 and more recently the cost of living crisis; our small business has coninued to flourish, growing in size and in reputation to being the largest independent provider of community therapy in the midlands.

At the heart of it all is a shared passion from each and every one of us to deliver for our clients. Supporting them in a time of need to really make a difference to their quality of life. However don't just take my word for it as our testimonials speak for themselves.

I couldn't be more proud to lead our team and together we will keep doing great things for years to come.

● Special congrats to Matthew Girvan for recently qualifying as a registered OT. Another string to his bow and in doing so becoming the first OT and PT associate in one package.
● Warm welcome to Jack Koczalski who has recently joined TMH Physiotherapy and is keen to get stuck in.
