At the age of 39 life was looking great, A new partner, a fresh start, a career that spanned just over Twelve years, A job that was both challenging and rewarding. Unfortunately in the summer of 2002 my career came to a untimely end after what seemed to be a simple accident at work. How wrong was I, Thrust into a battle of Medication and Physiotherapy, Living with the thought that I was going to be stuck with a back injury that was never going to get better, My life consumed with negativity and uncertainty.
I eventually came to terms with what had happened and found my inner self, That coupled with a supportive partner, And a positive mental attitude I began a simple home rehabilitation program,which enabled me to gain the confidence to move forward.
I joined Caldecott Health Spa and Gym, where i met Ryan Carter BSc Sports Rehabilitation and Injury Prevention Therapist. Ryan managed to straighten me back up, He then put me on a core stability program. This consisted of Aqua and Gym work as well as regular treatments. Where as before I would go to the doctors for pain killers I now see Ryan.
Thanks to Ryan's professional approach, His understanding and good bed side manner i firmly believe he has played a huge part in helping me put my life back together. After just over 12 months under his wing, I can proudly say I am back in full time employment, in a job that is just as challenging and likely to be even more rewarding than the last.
