"Rehabilitation following operations on my spine"

About: Specialist Therapy Services / Mid Notts Community Neuro Rehab Team

(as the patient),

From first meeting Dèe it was clear to me that I was to be in good rehabilitation care. In November 2022 I had a C1,C2 decompression and this was followed by a further C4,5 C5 6 decompression procedure in June 2023. In July 2024 my right arm stopped functioning

After my first operation Dee's team carried out a series of exercises to enable me to regain strength in my right leg and improve my core

The Therepy team were always professional in their interactions with me and showed great interest and commitment to recover. Dee was able to provide the team with activities to ensure I was being stretched to explore my potential for improvement

In 2025 Dee and her team devised activities to enable some muscular activity to return to my right arm. Everyone was delighted to see flickering of my bicep muscle

We worked as a team throughout and I was always grateful for their interest in developing activities to enable some muscle response and most of all their motivation to succeed. Their humour was terrific. We also had confidence in each other and willing to exchange information about interests, family, likes and dislikes

I found the back service from the office efficient and effective

Thank you Dee for your interest in my situation and to your super team of therapists
