Tegan's story beautifully illustrates the benefits of addressing her tendency to 'boom and bust' behaviour (where she experienced some terrible crashes) and moving towards a more balanced lifestyle. Tegan is very keen to share her story to inspire others that change is possible so have a read here.

At the end of the programme, Chris was working 12 hours a week and had a plan for how to further increase his hours.

His Clinician writes:- “Chris has engaged in the sessions offering advice on condition management techniques. He has actively applied the strategies that have been discussed and has gradually noticed improvement in his condition.’’

Our programmes aim to support people long after we finish working with them. Providing people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to continue making progress independently. It was great to hear the progress this client has made over the last 12 months, recovering fully enough to enjoy her life again.

It's great to hear Samantha's feedback about her rehabilitation programme with us. After being severely unwell in ICU following a Covid-19 infection, she had challenges in many different areas. This included having difficulty with breathing, mobility and managing multiple symptoms such as fatigue and pain.

She was interested in exploring different approaches and remained committed and enthusiastic throughout rehabilitation. This supported her to build her physical capacity, to develop more balance in her life and to remain working.

So rewarding working with this client who quickly took our advice on board and made really positive adjustments to the her 'toolbox' of condition management strategies. Great to hear how much difference our help has made to her and that she is successfully managing back at work.

It's great to hear about how we supported this client with Long Covid and ADHD to return back to the workplace. After being off work for 18 months with Long Covid, she managed to successfully return back to her role. We prepared a personalised plan together for returning to work. Her employer was particularly supportive in implementing the plan which helped considerably.

One of our clients describes their journey on own of our bespoke rehabilitation programmes and how they have been able to manage their symptoms to get back to work again.

‘I have learnt alot of coping strategies through the programme to help me manage my health so that I have returned to work. I now have ‘chill out wednesdays’.. Read the full client story here

One our clients who recently spoke at our fatigue conference shares her personal journey of rehabilitation ‘The illness of CFS is absolutely devastating, and my heart goes out to all those who have been unlucky enough to be affected by it. But the main message I want to convey to you is that YOU CAN GET BETTER.’

I continued to push myself relentlessly, ignoring what my body was telling me. Anything beyond trying to deliver what I was tasked with at work, caring for my children, or the most rudimentary self-care were abandoned.

Following the programme I now feel able to approach my future with hope. I will strive to incorporate the tools and techniques I have learnt through the programme into my every day life.

Vitality 360 is a dedicated professional team of people that have many years of working in the NHS so they all understand every aspect of Fibromyaligia and Chronic Fatigue as well as the anxiety issues that can occur too with those conditions.

I honestly can't think of anything that could have been better. The support I received was helpful in so many ways.

I'm now able to manage work better (I'm off sick less and feel I'm achieving something) and, most importantly to me, the time I spend with my children is much better quality.

It started with a bad case of flu in Dec 2017. I'd moved down south for a new and demanding job and had been doing a lot of travelling. I was enjoying the new role and life but was certainly ready for the Christmas break and had for some time been having trouble sleeping.

Having direct access to and support of a highly experienced real subject matter expert was very supportive. I am a senior medical doctor and having acquired a large amount of knowledge in nearly 20 years of living with CFS, I have only ever met two people who know more about my condition than I do (and that includes so called specialists).

The NHS had nothing to offer, luckily our GP had heard of Vitality360 and suggested we contact them (privately). The diagnosis kept changing but the symptoms were always the same, so a diagnosis was irrelevant. Vitality 360 were a guiding beacon at a very isolated, confusing time; somehow we never felt desperate, just confused, with nowhere to turn to, until we met Vitality360 expert clinician, Charlie.

I began working with Vitality360 about 14 months ago and the improvement I’ve made in that period, especially on the physical side, is significant.

Final year was always going to be difficult, but when I was diagnosed with Post-Viral Fatigue, these difficulties took on a whole new form. Rather than studying in the few hours I had between lectures, fitness classes and hockey sessions, I found I had hit a brick wall and found myself too drained, exhausted and dizzy to contemplate getting out of bed.

I have worked with Vitality360 on a Graded Exercise programme over a period of 6 months. I have increased exercise from 6 minutes to 26 minutes 5 days a week.
