I attended the Harrogate Police Treatment Centre in October 2023. I had been diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in my left knee and right ankle in 2009 and had managed to keep this under control through cycling and regular gym sessions.
My conditioned significantly worsened at the beginning of 2023 to the extent that I was really struggling to cycle and even walking was becoming difficult. Having always been very active, this really affected me as much psychologically, as it did physically and despite NHS and Private physiotherapy my condition continued to decline.
I genuinely can’t speak highly enough of the physiotherapist responsible for my rehabilitation. She was amazing and having carried out a detailed assessment, I was given daily sessions that really improved my mobility. At the end of the week I was given a documented follow up plan and offered her ongoing support should I need further advice.
The whole experience at the treatment centre was uplifting and every single member of staff were so helpful and always went the extra mile to ensure the whole experience was amazing.
I am now in a lot better place both physically and mentally and feel I have made huge steps towards improving my mobility and managing my condition. I really could not have done this without the personal care and treatment received whilst at the centre.
