Hip and Spinal Surgery Rehabilitation I had a hip replacement in June 2023 and subsequently suffered a spinal stroke in January 2024 as a result of severe cervical spine cord compression and underwent a major cervical spine laminectomy involving posterior cervical fixation from C2 to T2. In layman terms, my legs were effectively paralysed, and I had a complete loss of independence. I could not walk, leave the home or do anything independently without support. For someone who has always been very independent this was a very challenging time for me, both physically and mentally. Julia Unsworth was part of my physio team for my recovery journey and from the outset, I was very impressed by her caring approach and knowledge of physiotherapy. Julia worked collaboratively with other members of the team during my recovery journey after I was discharged from hospital in February 2024. As a result of her invaluable guidance and motivational support I am independent again today and able to do everything I took for granted prior to suffering the spinal stroke. I cannot thank Julia enough for working so closely with me and other members of my medical team to restore my mobility and independence. I would have no hesitation in recommending Julia. She is, undoubtedly, a very caring and able physiotherapist with a refreshing holistic approach to physiotherapy which is essential for long term recovery!
