Pat’s Story

“I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 10 years ago and have always seen it as an opponent that I was determined to face head on.

I gradually found myself ‘sliding into Parkinson’s’ and losing the motivation and energy to fight back.

Thankfully, my speech therapist put me in touch with Craig. After working with him for 3–4 months, I’ve got my ‘get up and go’ back!

Our weekly sessions help me improve my strength and mobility, with videos to keep me active between sessions. Just as importantly, Craig’s support gives me someone to talk to about any difficulties or worries. I call him ‘Mr Happy Days’! I hope my experience encourages others with Parkinson’s to get in touch with Craig — he’s worth his weight in gold.”
