Join us in supporting the MND Association - it's all go!

Susan was invited to talk to the Manchester and Salford Branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) on Wednesday 7 November. Susan spoke about the unique hydrotherapy project the Practice are involved in, in conjunction with the Greater Manchester Neurological Alliance (GMNA) and Bolton Neuro Voices. Participant feedback has been very positive – one participant, Bill Bradley, when asked for his feedback after his session on Wednesday, said “Enjoyed it even more than usual. I am using my legs more than I have – and I did work on my back. Talking to the physios and the other people helps me mentally – makes me feel more optimistic“. Barbara Tew, an active committee member for the Manchester and Salford MNDA, has been an active supporter of the project since its inception and has encouraged MNDA member participation.

Whilst at the Salford and Manchester MNDA, Susan learned more about the group activities at both National and local level. Susan was interested to learn about the MNDA Charter – a list of rights for people living with MNDA – to raise awareness of the needs of people with MND at government level.

Why not join Susan and the team in signing the Charter online?

A keen cyclist herself, Susan was fascinated by the local group’s wooden bike project. Three friends have built a wooden bike called Narnia (after the wardrobe!!!) and aim to be in the Guiness book of records for the fastest wooden bike, whilst raising money for the MNDA. This beautiful and fascinating machine has no screws, no nails and no glue.

Why not join Susan and the team in offering your support?

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!

SP Therapy Services has supported Greater Manchester Spinal Injury Group for many years. Susan and Rebecca have demonstrated knowledge and skill and been adaptable to working in community settings. I would have no hesitation in recommending SP Therapy Services

I am delighted to endorse the team at SP Therapy Services. They consistently provide exceptional therapy and support their practice with sound, detailed documentation, which always arrives in a timely manner. The friendly clinicians are a credit to this fabulous company and it is evident that they always keep their patients at the centre of everything they do.
