"It has taught me that I should never be too busy to think about myself"

About: Specialist Therapy Services / Pulmonary Rehab (Rushcliffe)

(as the patient),

I was invited to take part in a course of rehabilitation to improve my exercise in order to improve my well being and keep me motivated and moving .

I must admit at the beginning I wasn’t keen on The idea , I already have a busy life , working , active grandparent etc although I struggled with stairs and keeping up .. even making the bed . I didn’t think it would help much at all , and didn’t like the thought of a bi weekly class . Why would I need this ?

After a six week course twice a week …it has taught me that I should never be too busy to think about myself , it has pushed me to think about how exercise and toning can really help . I can do it , the team were thoughtful and motivating, and kind . Really positive ending , I feel much better and can now walk further and faster and with confidence . You don’t need to sit in a chair and get progressively worse . I’m hoping that in a way it’s saved my life . I’m now starting a local exercise class and feeling that this help will be the start of prolonging my life
