What people have said about Jenny...
Jenny was very helpful indeed. The flexibility of my neck has improved already, and she has shown me exercises that I can do myself. I found her explanation of causes particularly helpful. We have a further session arranged for next week.
Seeing Jenny has been really helpful for both my husband and me. She has a wealth of knowledge of Parkinson’s Disease and her experience is invaluable.
My husband has benefited from being encouraged to do a range of exercises that are designed to keep him flexible, balanced and co ordinated. Practical advice on how to manage every day tasks and movement, around the home and also whilst out have also been a great help.
From my point of view it has been comforting to know that there is someone we can call upon for advice and support when it comes to the practical aspects of dealing with Parkinson’s.
Jenny is very kind, patient and sympathetic and we are both very happy to have found her.
