Woman Walks Again After Horse Riding Accident

0:00I'm Corey, and this is your Pulse of the City, Lester News Today. A woman from Lester's shirt is walking again after a serious horse riding accident left her in a wheelchair. Nicola Turner broke her right leg badly in June of last year, while riding her horse Isaac. Surgeons at Lester's Royal Infirmary fitted her with an external fixation frame to help the bones heal. That complex fracture made recovery tough at first, but with the frame in place, Nicola started monthly exercise classes run by the University Hospitals of Lester on H.S. Trust Physiotherapy team. These sessions are tailored for patients like her, with custom plans, one-on-one support, and group chats for sharing experiences. Nicola showed huge progress right away. She arrived at her first class in a wheelchair, unsure how to even stand because her brain and body felt disconnected. The classes built her strength, confidence, and emotional well-being, moving her to crutches, and now independent walking. Her physiotherapist, Chris Lilly, has guided her every step.

1:01He calls it a pleasure working with her, praising her determination and positive attitude that fueled her gains. Nicola's long-term goal is a full recovery, so she can get back in the saddle. She's not riding yet, but keeps pushing forward with that mindset. Diann is brought to you by our sponsor link in the description. Relax deeper. Reset faster. Comfort you can hear. S-O-L-L-I.
