I had the opportunity to attend the respiratory physio programme January/February 2023 in Ballymena.
I had struggled with asthma ever since having covid 2020. This impacted my ability to exercise, which in turn exacerbated my arthritis.
Kathryn assessed my suitability for the programme and led most of the sessions. She was knowledgeable about the impact of long covid on an individual's life in terms of the practical implications - eg having to give up work, as well as the emotional implications I was having to face.
Kathryn was compassionate and encouraging. This programme allowed me to get back to exercise and has helped my asthma. It gave me hope that I could make some improvement with the physical limitations I faced.
It has been the single most helpful programme/advice I've been involved in. So thank you team.
