Reblog: I had two weeks of AxSpA physio on the NHS
This post was first published on my social node.
I arrived home from two weeks of AxSpA physio last night. The course is run by the NHS. Which means, for those without universal health care, it was free at the point of use. (We pay NI as a mild tax (if you earn enough) that funds the NHS.)
The program was fantastic. It improved all of my AxSpA symptoms and gave me the stretching, exercise, and knowledge tools to keep improving them.
The head of the program is Professor Raj Sengupta, a well-regarded and leading expert in the field. Our physio for many of our sessions was Dr Ben Davies. Ben is an absolute legend – he taught me a lot.
Without the NHS, this powerful program and these fine teachers would have been forever out of my reach. I am eternally grateful for teams running and supporting the program, the program itself, and the NHS which enabled me to partake in this life-changing fortnight.
Physio note: I started my day off with some shoulder and spinal stretches.

I have returned from two weeks in the hospital.
Fear not, it was for an intensive #physiotherapy program that has significantly improved my #AxSpa symptoms and taught me how to keep them in their place.
