Posted on October 16, 2019 by Emma - Uncategorised

On Saturday 19th October, Susan Pattison, Director of SP Therapy Services joined experts from across Manchester to talk at the Newly Diagnosed Multiple Sclerosis Day; “Getting To Grips With MS”. The day was led by Lindsay Lord, Advanced Specialist Nurse and had speakers including Dr Paul Talbot, Consultant Neurologist and Jeremy Harris of the MS Society.

Susan spoke about the importance of exercise in managing a persons general health but also the positive benefits of exercise in managing the symptoms of MS and potentially decelerating the disease process itself. Susan take home message was to encourage participants whilst struggling to come to terms with their diagnosis , not to give up on their bodies at the time their bodies needed them the most. And to find what exercise suited their body and make it part of their whole health management and invest in their future well-being.

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!
