Sean helped me prepare for my knee replacement operation and then guided my rehab after I came out of hospital. Just a few months later I was back playing golf.

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and was scared of having a fall and breaking something! Sean worked with me to help get me stronger and improve my balance so that I could get about more confidently again.

After my stroke I used to rely on an elbow crutch to walk and my left arm didnt do much except hang painfully. Now Im walking without a stick and I can use my arm and hand to help dress myself I dont feel disabled now!
