Recovery from a Pelvis and Elbow Fracture following a Fall! Pulpit Walker to Walking Sticks!!

In the heart of every recovery journey lies a story of resilience, dedication, and the unwavering support of a committed team. Wynne's inspiring success story with HomePhysio By Nicola is a testament to the transformative power of collaboration and determination.


Following a fall at home and suffering a pelvic and elbow fracture, an admission to hospital, Wynne embarked on her rehabilitation journey with a pulpit walker, navigating the challenges that come with post-hospital discharge. Her family reached out to HomePhysio By Nicola to help in her recovery at home.


Shona Fairbairn, Senior Physiotherapist, attended Wynne's home to discuss her rehabilitation goals and previous hobbies and interests. Following assessment of her abilities, movement, strength, walking and balance she was prescribed a tailored home exercise programme. Her rehabilitation journey began with weekly engaging activities linked to functional tasks with encouragement and motivation. Amidst the journey, the team incorporated a strategic blend of strengthening exercises and balance training into Wynne's rehabilitation plan. This holistic approach aimed not only to rebuild physical strength but also to enhance stability, reducing the risk of falls. Following fantastic progression from her pulpit onto a four wheeled walker she began to achieve stairs!!


Amanda Bell, Technical Instructor Physiotherapy Assistant carried on her rehabilitation strength and balance programme while progressing her mobility outdoors with walking sticks!! Under the guidance of this dynamic team, Wynne's progress became a beacon of hope. Through trust and dedication, she diligently followed her rehabilitation plan and home exercise programme, including these crucial components.


The collaboration between Wynne and her HomePhysio team extended beyond the home walls. Together, they ventured into the garden, gradually building up distances and embracing the freedom of daily walks. Wynne's once-dependence on a pulpit walker transformed into the liberating use of two sticks, allowing her to venture out for the paper! Independence had been restored as well as a fulfilling quality of life!!


This success story is a celebration of teamwork, dedication, and the indomitable spirit of individuals committed to achieving greatness. The trust Wynne placed in her team, coupled with their expertise and unwavering support, became the catalyst for a life-altering transformation.

Shona Fairbairn, Amanda Bell, and the entire team stand proud, their hearts warmed by the tangible impact they've had on Wynne's life. This success story isn't just about reclaiming physical abilities; it's about reigniting the spark of independence and paving the way for a fulfilling life.


Wynne's journey exemplifies the profound impact that compassionate healthcare professionals can have on the lives of those they serve. HomePhysio By Nicola continues to be a beacon of hope, inspiring others to embrace their rehabilitation with trust, dedication, and the belief that greatness is achievable.
