Feedback

Surehealth is always looking for ways to improve its services. We welcome feedback from service users and health professionals alike, please send us an email. Below is the feedback from people who have benefited from our activities

“I've been going to the class for two years and I feel 100 per cent better, you learn to breathe and relax properly.”

“My breathing was so bad I couldn't walk 100 yards, now I can walk two or three miles.”

“I couldn't cut the lawn, but now I can do the gardening again. I can do DIY and decorating - it's given me back my life.”

“It helps to exercise your joints as well as your muscles.”

“When I first went, I wasn't well at all. I found out I had COPD three years ago, it was a shock as I've been active all my life. I had to stop smoking as I had emphysema and asthma. The adapted yoga for COPD class has made a big difference. I still potter about the garden and do my pruning. I cannot walk that far, but life is easier at home. I can walk up the stairs at home - I used to use my hands and knees.”

“Before I went to the class, I couldn't change the duvet because of being breathless but I can now.”

“At the class we have a cup of tea and a chat and get advice from each other. When you know other people who have the same thing you don't feel so isolated.”

“General wellbeing greatly improved. I can now move about much better, and beginning to enjoy life instead of being so depressed. Yoga has benefited me in many ways.”

“I enjoy Yoga and it helps me clear sputum from my lungs.”

“Am feeling much better, am being made to feel doing something positive (breathing exercises) will improve things. The breathing exercises are being very useful when getting really short of breath. Am feeling much better. Yoga is very useful.”

“Since I’ve been coming I feel so much better. I can work a little in my flat. I don’t get out of breath as much when I take a shower or bath.”

“I find I do not need to use my inhalers as much.”

“Yoga has helped me a lot. I used to have a cleaner, now I can manage myself.”

“I find the Yoga class very relaxing”.

“An extremely friendly group, giving each other much needed support. My general health has improved a great deal since I started.”
