I was looking for a different type of physiotherapy, all the Physiotherapy I have had so far has been passive, not encouraging me to join in. This was something I did not agree with because, one I like being pushed, I think it means you achieve more, and two I felt my body had more to offer, than just passive movements. I was introduced to physability by a friend of mine at the Bristol M.S. Centre. I then came to Physability for my free induction, tried it and liked it. I liked their approach, the technology, and the equipment they use. Here at physability I have experienced a more active then passive style of therapy.
Now that I am improving all the time in my strength and movement using less assistance weight and more resistance in some exercises, I was right in my initial thoughts of wanting my body to be pushed more. I have improved in my strength so much in my legs that I can stand up in the Parallel bars with an AFO orthosis and lock my knees back unassisted. I am now practicing taking small steps again.
