"After complications during spinal surgery, I was left with permanent spinal and nerve damage. Unable to carry on working, I needed some form of exercise to strengthen my whole body but with little impact.
I plucked up the courage to go to Parkwood to enquire.. and ended up joining there and then!
On my first visit to the pool, I wasn't even able to walk half a length. But I kept coming back and kept exercising in the pool.
Unfortunately, I had to have further spinal surgery which knocked both my confidence and my ability. But as soon as I could, I returned to Parkwood.
It's not only the exercise that keeps me coming in, but the genuine kindness and support that I have received from the staff. It's also been great to catch up with old colleagues as well as making lots of new friends."
