CASE STUDIES
#1
TAL LIFESTYLE WARRIOR
THE CATALYST FOR CHANGE
Initially visited GP after routine blood test that revealed high cholesterol. He was advised to lower cholesterol, improve exercise regime and reduce weight. He felt overwhelmed and needed more support, so self referred to TAL on GP advice.
WHAT TAL DID NEXT
Our new Warrior was consulted and assessed at the Bushey TAL Strength Studio. We developed systems for changing lifestyle. He attended 8 one to one sessions to start the process of cholesterol reduction and exercise programme for strength and weight loss. He attended a 6 week lifestyle clinic course to increasing his awareness on physiology, nutrition, psychology of sustaining change and met like minded individuals.
RESULTS ONGOING
His body shape changed, he lost weight and was significantly stronger. He regularly uses the Strength Studio and implements systems on a daily basis that dramatically improve how he feels.
He repeated bloods with GP and after 6 months cholesterol had significantly dropped.
“THANK YOU TAL, I HAVE MORE ENERGY THAN EVER, DEAL BETTER WITH STRESS AND FEEL GREAT."

TAL REHAB WARRIOR
THE CATALYST FOR CHANGE
Suffering with radiating pain down legs reduced mobility and poor posture. Referred by GP to see consultant and scan. Diagnosis of spinal stenosis and treated using surgical techniques. Post op left patient with balance and weakness in left leg. He was unable to stand without aid and unable to mobilise.
WHAT TAL DID NEXT
TAL called in by private hospital to assess. We transferred to Bushey House (one of our partner Residential Homes) for 2 weeks intensive rehab. He improved well enough to go home.
TAL followed up with @Home service and continued with the TAL Way to progress our TAL Warrior even further.
RESULTS ONGOING
Fantastic outcomes achieved with Warrior able after some time to return back to 90% of functional activity and able to participate in main hobby of gardening. Able to stand without aid for long period of times and mobility increased to walking unaided without regard for rest or fatigue.

TESTIMONIALS

"TAL were highly recommended by the Senior Physiotherapist at Spire Hospital, Bushey.
No time was lost in organising a daily post operative physiotherapy programme to strengthen my muscles and balance.
I am now doing better than before I dislocated my replacement hip!
My new found confidence and my approach to my mobility is largely due to their commitment, skills and practical advice.
I recommend highly."

They got my husband walking and home again. They continue to maintain his strength and now feel part of the family.
Ready to help in any situation and my husband looks forward to his sessions.
We have no hesitation in recommending Third Age Living to anyone."

"After my mother broke her hip she had many problems rehabilitating and regaining her walking. She was left in a wheelchair totally dependent on others.
I was recommended to rehabilitation experts Third Age Living, who after several visits, were able, not only to get her walking confidently with a frame, but give her new found independence.
I am forever grateful for our physiotherapist Daniel's caring manner and professional abilities"
Peter Stock son of a TAL Warrior
