Mark's Story: Overcoming Challenges with Expert Physiotherapy
I have cerebral palsy, effecting my lower limbs and ability to walk. On a day to day basis it affects my strength, endurance, gait and balance. I live independently and work full time running Faversham Chandlery.My physiotherapy sessions at Kesson focus on stretching, maintaining mobility and building strength. In order to maintain my current level of mobility I attend weekly physio sessions.I have botox injections every 6 months to reduce the spasticity in my hamstrings and improve my walking.Living with a disability I feel it is important to understand your condition and be involved and active in your own treatment, the effectiveness of physio is as much about my work at home as the appointments in the clinic. I am determined to maintain and improve the mobility I have, staying working and walking as long as possible and with surgical interventions my determination and the work of the physios my future mobility now looks good!
