Dear @wesstreeting, @AshleyDalton_MP

We are Physios for ME and we urge you to #FundThePlan

@ThereForME_UK We consistently hear about negative experiences of physiotherapy that result in some people with ME actually getting worse. This is because of a lack of understanding of the condition and poor training of how to work safely with people with ME.
