National Stroke Forum, Harrogate

Posted 12/12/12

We were excited to be able to return to the National Stroke Forum, which, this year, was held in Harrogate.

There were some really interesting lectures and it was also a fantastic opportunity to see what new products are on the market for people following Stroke.  I was particularly impressed by some of theNeurotec orthotics products available and plan to use them with my clients in the future.  If you would like to know more about these products then please do contact us.

We are lucky to continue to work closely with Ectron and this year we were all proud to be able to demonstrate the Timo Therapy Plate whilst at the forum. I absolutely love this product. It can be used as both an assessment and treatment tool when working with people with balance problems following Stroke and other neurological conditions.  If you are interested in using the Timo or would like to know more about it and how it may be able to benefit you, then please do contact us.

Some kind words

Our daughter’s renal failure means that she is delayed with standing and walking at 2 and half years of age. We first started seeing Jules a few months back for an intense block of physiotherapy to build the strength and skills needed for her to eventually stand and walk.  It was really important that the physiotherapist specialised in paediatrics and could work alongside the NHS physiotherapists we also see. Jules immediately put us at ease with her friendly and professional approach and has built a good, trusting relationship with our daughter.  She uses play as a way to get our daughter to engage with the therapy.  Our daughter has really enjoyed all her physio sessions to date and we have seen a notable improvement in her movement.  She has begun to pull herself up and can climb up small steps as well as shuffle down stairs in a controlled manner!
