Heather speaks to ME/CFS Support Group

Posted on May 20, 2013 by Emma - Uncategorized

Last week Heather T was invited to speak at the Bury and Bolton ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome) Support Meeting. In her presentation, Heather outlined the potential benefits of hydrotherapy and how these can be of use for the symptoms of ME/CFS. She also reported to the group findings from our recent Bolton Neuro Voices (BNV) Hydrotherapy Project. The BNV project enabled us to provide hydrotherapy services to patients with a variety of neurological conditions; a total 25% of attendees on the course had ME/CFS, and Heather was able to discuss their feedback on the hydrotherapy. The information was well received and generated interest amongst members of the ME/CFS support group for future projects.

I am the Chair/Co-ordinator of Bolton Neuro Voices, a small local charity. I first contacted SP Therapy Services in 2012 when I was looking for a neuro physiotherapist to help us pilot a new Hydrotheraoy Course for people with long-term neurological conditions. Since then Susan Pattison and her staff have helped us to deliver ten courses to a total of more than 200 people and to facilitate the progress of many on to ongoing Continuation Programmes. Her expertise and willingness to listen and respond to our needs and those of our very varied participants is hugely appreciated and our partnership has gone from strength to strength. I unreservedly recommend this practice.

Andy provided a very thorough and considered physiotherapy assessment of a client with complex needs. His report was to a very high standard and underpinned all immediate and long term therapy needs. Thank you!
