Sally Reffold Neurological Physiotherapist

I was proud to be part of the recent roundtable discussion led by the Spinal Injuries Association and to add my signature to this important call for change.

With over 20 years’ experience as a physiotherapist in spinal cord injury rehabilitation, and with a specialist focus on pelvic health, pre/postnatal care, and multidisciplinary support, I see first-hand how women living with SCI face unnecessary barriers in accessing cancer screening, maternity services, and reproductive healthcare.

This must change.

Together with MPs, healthcare professionals, national charities, and women with lived experience, we are urging the Government to:
✔ Ensure breast and cervical cancer screening services are fully accessible to disabled women.
✔ Guarantee maternity care that is informed, respectful, and tailored to the needs of women with SCI.
✔ Challenge stigma and discriminatory attitudes in healthcare through training, awareness, and leadership.

This is not just about healthcare—it’s about equity, dignity, and ensuring women with spinal cord injury and other physical disabilities receive the care they deserve.

Have your say in the future of SCI research.

Researchers at ICORD, a world-leading spinal cord injury research centre at the University of British Columbia, invite individuals with SCI to participate in an international survey.

This is your chance to share your top recovery priorities and help shape research that truly reflects the needs of the SCI community.

The survey will be released across 18 countries to compare priorities worldwide. Your input will guide future research, improve education about which health challenges matter most, and drive better treatment options for people living with SCI.

✨ Client Feedback ✨

I recently supported a newly sustained Cauda Equina Syndrome client through a video consultation. 💻

In our session, I was able to provide:
✅ Initial advice & tailored exercise recommendations
✅ Guidance on suitable equipment
✅ Signposting to charities & resources
✅ A GP referral letter to a Spinal Cord Injury Centre

Here’s what they had to say:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Overall I was extremely satisfied with the assessment and recommendations I received.
Sally’s expertise in dealing with my neurological condition was excellent.
I would definitely recommend her to someone with a spinal cord injury or cauda equina syndrome.”

Early intervention and the right guidance can really shape someone’s recovery journey after SCI or CES , I’m grateful to be part of that process.
