About STEPS Rehabilitation

He came to STEPS Rehabilitation for a three-week period in early December 2019, following his discharge from hospital and moved straight into the transitional living unit, which offers clients the opportunity to develop their independence in a self-contained living area that includes a fully accessible kitchen.

Following the initial intensive rehabilitation at STEPS, Luka has moved into his own home with his partner and daughter and is able to wear his prosthesis most days.

Prior to his accident, Luka played semi-professional football and is now looking at returning to the game.

John suffered a spinal cord injury when he was knocked from his bicycle in July 2019.

In September 2019, John moved to STEPS Rehabilitation as a residential client, on arrival, he was un able to sit up, wash himself or get dressed unaided.

The improvements to John’s condition have required perseverance and dedication, “The team at STEPS set me small achievable goals which helps hugely with the way I psychologically approach my rehabilitation. Being able to smash those goals and have new ones set makes the rehab process very much a team effort”

Mike survived a life changing upper limb amputation and brain injury when he was knocked from his motorbike in August 2019.

Mike describes his time at STEPS as his ‘circuit breaker’ and saw massive improvements after just 3 weeks. Through the combination of therapies available at STEPS, his body has returned to a more natural position and his pain has reduced.

His intensive rehabilitation timetable included regular aquatic therapy sessions, physiotherapy, acupuncture and massage. The improvements and progress he has made are testament to Mike’s determination and perseverance. He continues to visit STEPS as a day client, working on pain management, fitness, and sleep.

Kevin was 34 years old when, in February 2018, a lorry crashed into his car on the A38 causing him to sustain a life-threatening brain injury. It was only the previous week that he and his girlfriend, Vicki, learnt they were expecting their first baby.

Since coming to STEPS, Kevin has become more alert and engaged within his sessions, joining in with task / functional specific therapy. He is continuing to make positive progress and is starting to develop his use of voice again. He can use it when in pain or uncomfortable but not to generate speech.
