I have two physiotherapists, one who works on my back pains and has been brilliant in getting me seen by other medical professionals. The second physio I am seeing for the first time next week and is a neuro specialist and has has had previous Ataxia clients. We'll see how it goes.

What I would love is swimming therapy but that doesn't seem to be an option.

Going for fizz this pm with neuro fizz, to be honest I don't feel very confident in her knowledge after only one session, but we'll see how it goes. Need to discuss gym membership (cycling,rowing,swimming only) with Cons at end of Oct.

Well, "Nigel 2112",

I have been diagnosed with ".Autosomal Dominant Cerebellar Atrophy ";

I see a neuro physiotherapist twice a week ( which is paid for

by my health insurance).

But, I feel I should see her more often just to keep my

mobility`s level-

Regards

Fizz went well, she is a specialist Neuro fizz, gave me exercises to do balancing, impossible at first but within seconds the body adapts. Amazing really, had me falling about at first but after a few reps the body/head learned the way to do it. All balance issues but proved to me I will be able to address those issues if I strengthen my core muscles and do the repetitive balance exercises
