(as the patient),

The gym at Holywell and the staff have helped me. I felt embarrassed life just wasn’t where I thought it was going to be because of reasons and I felt bad really bad but the staff and the gym has really helped me move past that and move forward with my life

Hi monocerosqm59

My name is Catherine and I am the Clinical Lead Physiotherapist for the Mental Health Physiotherapy team. Thank you for taking the time to share your story.

We feel very fortunate to have the excellent gym facility at Holywell and aim to make it a welcoming environment for anyone to attend regardless of where they are in their recovery or their fitness level. Physical activity benefits the body and mind and I am glad to hear you feel it helped you move forward with your life. I hope you will be able to use physical activity as an ongoing positive health strategy.

I will speak to the physio team and pass on your kind words and know they will be delighted to hear of the positive impact the gym had for you

Wishing you all the best

Catherine Ward
