    Hi @Roma190693,

    Have you spoken to your Dr about a referral?

    TSo she doesn't know anything about this, she tells me that she needs the names of the centers, then she can help

    That doesn't sound right at all @Roma190693 your doctor should have all of that information. Would it be worth speaking to a different doctor?

    Hi @Roma190693 - may I ask if your problems are from physical trauma, neurological problems, or something else. Could you then say roughly where you live, just the county or a town/city fairly near or accessible to you. Please don't say exactly where you live to maintain your privacy online.

    Have you ever been referred for physiotherapy?

    Hi again @Roma190693 - it sounds like you'd benefit from a spinal cord injuries rehabilitation centre, for example that at Stoke Mandeville is the best known:

    https://www.buckshealthcare.nhs.uk/visiting-your-hospitals/visiting/stoke-mandeville-hospital/

    There are other centres, for example:

    https://www.rnoh.nhs.uk/services/spinal-cord-injury-centre

    and you can see the other centres here if you look under ''Spinal cord injury centres'' :

    https://www.rnoh.nhs.uk/services/spinal-cord-injury-centre/medical-management-advice

    Your GP or consultant may be able to refer you to one of these specialist centres.
