Can time for physio be part of a paid care plan?

Hi, I am slowly fighting my way back from being a tetraplegic. My county council funded care plan is up for renewal. My care worker warned me they are wanting to make big cuts in my hours. She said they will not pay for someone to help with essential physio. Without help doing these exercises at home I am never going to get up and walking but will deteriorate. I cannot do these exercises alone. There is no point in going to see my physio once a week if I am not going to continue the work at home. Can they cut this? Surely this is going to mean I will end up needing more care in the long run. Very short sighted. Any helpful info or comments greatfully received.

It is great that you are determined, I am humbled by your effort and really hope that you can continue
Have you anything definate about the cuts ?
It might be an idea to involve your local MP.

Its just a bloody shame you have to fight to get the correct care. Fighting to get back upright and walking is a big enough struggle xx
