This is Sarah, who messaged me today to show that, after 30 years of knee issues, she has finally got back to doing what she loves... climbing mountains!
Sarah approached me around March last year, unable to straighten her knee and walked in with a significant limp - it's fair to say it was much worse than she had initially made out.
Sarah had some frustrating back and forth with her consultant and was left without much option... or so she thought!
We started with basic range of movement stretches to regain her movement and normal walking pattern. Then, slowly but surely, we progressed through static exercises, to squats, to single leg squats, to jumping, to single leg jumping, and finally, for the first time in many years, to running in the treadmill. Sarah has mentioned that her knees are the best they have felt in 30 years, and never thought she'd ever see herself running again. But, with the right mindset, and a little guidance from physiotherapy, it is amazing what can be achieved.
Sarah is the epitome of 'hard work pays off' and I am so incredibly proud to have worked with her to get her back to what she enjoys - it's results exactly like these that make me love my job!
Thank you Sarah for your hard work, and for letting me share your rehab story!
If you would like to try and achieve similar things, please feel free to get in touch!
