PhysiHeroes

It would be remiss of me to get this far (nearly 15 months) without giving an enormous shout-out to the 2 Physios who have made such a difference to my recovery.

I’ve probably done over 40 weird and wonderful exercises to help co-ordinate my eye movements, re-calibrate my balance, strengthen my neck, release back and neck tension, increase exercise tolerance and gradually increase exposure and challenges for my brain. It’s a long road and I’ve still got a way to go in getting my vestibular system fully functioning again.

But yesterday I was on a London tube escalator, going up and seeing others coming down, whilst on both sides the electronic adverts were also moving up and down with the escalators. Visual vestibular overload nightmare! But I was fine. I was no longer staring at my feet desperate for the end.

I’d never appreciated how much of an impact Physios can have. They are truly marvellous. So, Emma and Theo, thank you both. Deep gratitude.
