Harvey’s Story

I am a 72 year old male who was born with spina bifida. When l was 70 I had a stroke which affected the left side of my body. Because of the stroke on top of the spina bifida things were going to be challenging. When I was released from rehab I was given a list of five physio services to resume my recovery. One of these was Neuro-Ability Rehabilitation Services. I looked at their website and read the resume of Libby Swain who I thought would be perfect for me. I met with Libby and decided to continue my physiotherapy with Neuro-Ability.

I now work with Llbby, Callie and Levana. Neuro-Ability has great computer software and the physios are diligent at charting what they are doing. The really great thing is that the other two physios are reading these charts and are up to date on the treatments. The physios are also constantly thinking out-side-the box and looking for new ways to reach my goals. The physios are kind, patient and very helpful in dealing with the psychological and cognitive issues which can arise with a stroke. The sessions for me are one-hour in length, always start on time and are one on one. The receptionists, Daniela and Sofia, are very patient and proficient in booking appointments, and making adjustments to those appointments when necessary.
