I have osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia and have had limited mobility for over 30 years. I have tried many different healthcare professionals and have done various exercise routines. Some of these gave me relief for a short time. At the beginning of 2019 I could hardly raise my arms at all and I was struggling with walking. Someone recommended that, as a last resort, I should see Denise at Kesson. So I booked an appointment and went – not very hopeful that it would make much difference. The reception team were welcoming and friendly, as was Denise, who listened to my concerns, checked my condition, and then started treatment. She gave me one simple exercise to start with, and these have gradually increased to six. During this time she gave me the confidence to carry out ordinary tasks and try being more active, even if it was painful, by assuring me that nothing I did in the ordinary way could make my condition worse. I am not pain free and I doubt that I ever shall be, but by now the improvement to my quality of life and general outlook far surpasses anything I could have hoped for. I am continuing my treatment and consider the investment in the treatments as essential to my health and well-being. Thank you, Denise, seems totally inadequate!
