hi all i have just received a rollator to help me around the place , managed to make myself ill with exhaustion while trying it out but seems to do the trick, i got it from the local hospital (physio department) and managed to get my self collared for weekley physio session ,question :- what is the general opinion on physiotherapy for balance , gait and general limb strengthening, the only benefit i find is me getting extremely tired afterwards will carry on because they seem so nice and dont want to seem ungrateful lol !they have suggested a scooter as i am still nearly tipping the rollator over at times but it makesme feel a little more independent, and i dont feel ready for that for a good while ,hopefully!! keep safe all x
