I was referred to Kesson Physio 6 months ago following a diagnosis of Lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease which causes severe inflammation among other symptoms.I had been experiencing mobility issues, swollen, sore and very painful joints. I was often unable to walk due to stiffness, or drive due to lack of grip. I was in almost constant pain and my mood had dipped considerably. I lacked a sense of balance, lost my confidence, and was nervous of going out on my own.My rehab concentrated on balance, strength, and quality of movement. I was pushed hard at times! I committed to the exercises at home which has really aided my progress. Denise has been an amazing support to me in rebuilding my confidence and regaining my mobility. She really took time to understand me, and encouraged me to work towards my previous fitness and confidence levels, and aim high!I am building up to running again, attend Pilates, and feel like a different person. I occasionally experience symptoms, but feel equipped to know how to deal with this, and Denise has helped me understand not to be scared of moving!
