Hello, my name is Naomi.

00:00:01.640 --> 00:00:06.240
I'm a physiotherapist and the clinical
director at Medela Home Physiotherapy.

00:00:06.800 --> 00:00:11.437
I hope this video will give you an idea as
to some of the conditions that we see

00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:13.280
and what we can do for you at home.

00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:20.080
My mother is 91 years old and she's got
vascular dementia,

00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:22.320
which means that she is basically.

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.720
The blood supply to her brain is
failing slowly.

00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.360
She now has a great deal of difficulty
with mobility, moving about.

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:37.837
So what we asked Naomi to do was to keep
trying to keep her as mobile as

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:39.360
possible for as long as possible.

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:44.117
So she basically does various exercises
on mobility with hands

00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:46.400
and feet and arms and legs.

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:49.760
We found Naomi through her website

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.197
and have had no hesitation in recommending

00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.237
her for any kind of physio work.

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.320
But she seems to be very,
very doing a great job with my mum.

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:02.920
My name's Phil.

00:01:03.720 --> 00:01:08.277
I got in touch with Naomi after I came out
of hospital having smashed

00:01:08.360 --> 00:01:10.360
up my hip or hip replacement.

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:13.800
I was hobbling about on a Zimmer frame.

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:16.837
I want to get back to driving because I
live on my own and I

00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:17.880
want to be independent.

00:01:18.800 --> 00:01:22.757
I'm not self motivated,
so visits are important in that respect,

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:28.520
to keep me at whatever exercises we
decide and to carry out on walking.

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.040
So your visits are very
important in that respect.

00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:35.880
I would definitely recommend it.

00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:41.480
I fell ill with meningitis
through food poisoning.

00:01:42.360 --> 00:01:44.760
I was in a coma for over seven weeks.

00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.160
Because I was in hospital
for a very long time.

00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.040
I couldn't walk.
I lost the use of my legs.

00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:56.437
Since then I've had no direct help

00:01:56.520 --> 00:02:01.800
from NHS and I found Naomi on the Internet

00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:08.200
and she came out to see me and I've had
Naomi treating me now for well over a year

00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.160
and if it wasn't for Naomi,
I wouldn't be here today.

00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:17.080
I can stand.
I've got mobility in my legs now.

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:22.837
She's done a lot of,
lot of good for me, huge amount.

00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:25.880
I would be totally lost without her.
