My physiotherapist is Callum.

My story is as follows:

I was taken seriously ill in March this year and a combination of Liver Dysfunction, Sepsis and Peritonitus left me in a perilous state and I was given no more than 48hrs to 2 weeks to live according to the medical consultants.

Somehow, I managed to survive but remained in a very bad medical state and was then transferred to a care home for 12 weeks. This was better but I was determined to get home somehow.

I managed to convince them that this is what I wanted, and this is where Callum comes in.

In this time I had no help whatsoever, so contacted Elevated Movement to start a program.

Callum is regarded by my family and all my friends as some kind of ‘Messiah/Miracle worker’ for the transformation in my mobility over such a short period and I can’t properly thank him enough for improving my life to the extent he has. I am a very happy chappy!

I think that, as a lifetime sportsman and my determined attitude, we had a recipe for success, which I think Callum recognised early.

So, from very first session to now, 14 weeks on, he has helped transform me from being completely bedbound and helpless, to being highly active and mobile. It was our goal setting and the confidence and belief which Callum gave me which enabled this.

What I thought would take at least 6-9 months to achieve, has been done in express time – i.e 3 months. I can now walk down the shops, go out for outings and meals with family and friends, go up and down stairs and finally get back in my own bed, which I never thought would be possible.

If I could bestow an award, I would give award him the highest honour I could.

Thank you Callum, for giving me a life again.
