For about 16 years I’ve had MS-like symptoms, although I don’t have a formal diagnosis. I’ve limped for around nine years, but for the last four years walking had become a real struggle and my world had started to shrink.

I’ve now had several appointments at Apex Neuro, and the whole team has been brilliant. From my introductory phone call with Sarah, who immediately put my mind at ease and explained the science so clearly. Luke is knowledgeable, encouraging and motivating. He pushes me to my limits in a good way, which for someone like me who has never been a gym person is exactly what I need. He talks through what I need to be doing, what has stopped working and explains carefully why I need to continually work hard at home/gym too.

Slowly but surely my confidence is returning and I feel like I’m relearning how to walk. The biggest moment for me has been walking our dog Jesse every day again, something I hadn’t been able to do for four years. It sounds simple, but it means the world to me. I have the same support at home from my husband and I am starting to enjoy my life again. Because of the work I’m doing at Apex Neuro, I’m also doing things again that I have gradually stopped doing over the years. I’m going into town, slowly walking around the shops, walking Jesse and meeting my husband for a drink and going out for meals with him. Things that people take for granted that I never will again.

Luke’s personality suits me perfectly. He’s friendly, positive and quickly spotted my stubborn streak. It’s clear he understands that every client is different and works with the person as much as the condition. What really stands out about Apex Neuro is that they genuinely want you to become independent. It never feels like they’re trying to keep you coming back. They have given me the tools and confidence to get my life back.
