After an accident walking on Victoria Road I came to Daniel for help as I could not walk unassisted. Daniel has a very practical approach and although I may not bush walk again, some things can not be fixed, Daniel has helped me to become mobile again. Exercises have helped me change the way I move so that I can now drive the car and get out. I am not trapped at home anymore. Until I could drive appropriate transport options were provided to allow gym attendance. Daniel has always been a phone call away, with information and advice on what is happening. We have strengthened the shoulders so that this weekend instead of bush walking I have gone sea kayaking with my husband. He also is benefiting from Daniels assistance with gradual small changes to his lifestyle to help him reduce dimensions and strengthen his body so that he could participate in this new sport. Daniel works with my physio to ensure that both professions are working together to maximise my mobility. It was through Daniel that I made connection with a local physio who has been able to work with Daniel to get me moving where others had been ineffective. Together they have both helped me to start walking. After five months this week I made it to the shop on my own, using my feet.
