A message from the husband of a lovely client I had the pleasure of working with.
So much of my job is positive- bringing hope, sharing wins, overcoming hurdles and achieving goals. But working in long-term neuro conditions can be hard too. Because some neuro conditions progress, some are life-limiting and some are downright cruel.
As a neuro physio, my role as always, is to help people to reach and stay at their ceiling of potential - wherever they are and whatever their symptoms/limitations.
The Upton Neuro Physio way is holistic which means that as things progress, and as well as helping people to minimise risk of falls, prevent secondary complications and minimise speed of deterioration - being a listening ear, helping people to come to terms with their difficulties and creating opportunities for fun and joy are paramount. As is involving loved ones and carers so that we are all working together and they feel supported too. For info, I have done Masters level training in CBT and counselling skills, and worked closely with psychologists for a large chunk of my career, so I know my limitations but providing a safe space to talk whilst working on physical goals really does help.
I feel honoured to be able to help people in such difficult times and though I can't help but feel sad when such a journey comes to an end, I wouldn't have it any other way.
If you or someone you care about has a long-term neuro condition and wonders if Upton Neuro Physio could help them- get in touch. Everyone receives a free 20 minute screening call to see if we are best placed to meet their needs. What have you got to lose?
