My Story...
Hi I’m Alex and I’m a marine engineer, while working out in the Caribbean in 2006 during some leisure time I went swimming and my whole life changed in an instant... I hit my head on a sand bank and broke my neck. The vertebrae at c5 fractured and c6 broke into three parts one of which damaged my spinal cord, leaving me paralysed from the chest down. More
The next step..

Today after pt, we have knocked the sessions back to once a week with Steve.. for now i can continue along with the equipment that i have on a daily basis, this is until im in my new house where we will go on to the next step in physio using the treadmill – things should speed up then, having a purpose built place based around my physio/recovery – built around me..

recovery… i’ve said many times now.. im not giving up – i can’t just sit still and wait to die.. i need to get up out of this chair – i still have my life to build, i’m not stopping yet!

one thing we all have to do is die! but no-one can dictate how you live your life but YOU

pt average

i had physio today.. it worked out to be an average session with transfers and standing.. i did bring in my new way of starting the transfers, using this technique along with a trapez type attachment i should be able to finally do my own transfers.. my next step is MY NEXT STEP – using a treadmill to initiate walking
