“When I first came in here about 6 months ago I was in a wheelchair and everything had to be done for me… Since then, doing regular Oomph! alongside physio has helped a lot, and the company has kept me from not being depressed. I can now walk with a stick, if someone holds my other hand. My GP said I would never walk again, but I’ll now be going back home to live.”
– Doris, Bucklesham Grange, Hallmark
