Testimonials:
‘Alex had a severe stroke approximately 7 years ago. This left her with considerable physical disability. We count ourselves as extremely fortunate in finding Andrea. From the outset, she was extremely realistic about what could be achieved . Within weeks we realised what a treasure Andrea was, after Alex was not only able to sit upright, but to stand and transfer. She is now able to walk several metres with help and has gained considerable confidence, self esteem and huge improvement in her quality of life. We make no exaggeration when we say we consider this to be a small miracle.
Andrea's ability to communicate with a variety of people on a variety of levels is only one of her many skills. She is extremely professional and sensitive in her work and involves the whole family in discussing, demonstrating and celebrating any progress which Alex makes, also helping us to understand those things she can't achieve. She is always happy to show us the techniques she uses and to suggest ways in which we can help Alex sit, stand, transfer and walk.
Andrea's dedication and skills extend far beyond what we ever expected. She has regularly communicated with other professionals including consultants and healthcare workers involved with Alex, ensuring that she is receiving the best care possible from all of those working with her. She has secured mobility aids and equipment which we didn't even know existed and has advised her carers and also ourselves on their use.
We believe Andrea is a physiotherapist in a million.’

‘Following a major stroke, my mother was left with almost no use of her left side. With Andrea’s expert help and persistence she regained the use of her left leg enough to be able, with help, to get up from her chair and walk with a stick. This meant she was able to walk to the dining-room in the nursing home for lunch every day. She also regained some flexibility in her left arm and shoulder. Andrea's positive approach has been an important factor in maintaining my mother's high spirits. She has continued to inspire my mother to try and improve.’
