Physio’s fab with our son

MY son has mild cerebral palsy so I’ve met more than my fair share of doctors, therapists, neurologists, physiotherapists and speech therapists.

Most good, some bad. Hilary Rattue is an NHS physio who came into our lives when we were desperate.

I’d just been told (over the phone at work) that my son would never speak and that “perhaps he could start learning to use sign language”. With the use of only one hand it seemed unlikely.

With her unwavering confidence and unquestionable experience Hilary took us under her wing and now we can’t shut Rudy up.

Through her we learned an incredible amount about his condition and she introduced us to an amazing doctor.

But, most importantly, she taught us never to take no for an answer and to trust our instincts. A remarkable lady.
