WHATEVER HAPPENED TO OUR FRIEND GLORIA

As many of you are aware, Gloria was involved in a car accident which resulted in a spinal injury and paralysis in her back legs. In 2019 a sponsored walk raised funds for equipment to aid her to live a comfortable life and for treatment to repair her damaged spine as much as possible.

The wonderful news is that two years on and Gloria is now walking unaided.

The Osteopath has worked miracles with regular treatment to feel where Gloria’s spine is damaged, to release trapped nerves and increase her circulation. It has been a long, arduous road. I strictly manage Gloria’s exercise to ensure that her circulation is maintained and her muscle tone is improved. The recovery could not have been successful without the skills and dedication of Andrea, the Osteopath. Initially, I gave Gloria regular massages and I timed and observed her exercise without the wheeled harness.

We are all happy to see Gloria walking independently but she still requires special care and for the foreseeable future will remain at the Centre. Andrea is expected to visit periodically to check on the progress of Gloria’s recovery and give advice. It takes time for severe damage to heal and repair. We are so happy that we can report the success of the treatment and thank all our supporters for their generosity.
