On Sunday, Eamonn Holmes provided an open health report.
The 63-year-old veteran TV personality disclosed that he was receiving care at Neurokinex, a facility for neurological activity-based rehabilitation.
The devoted father uploaded a picture of himself using a piece of Neurokinex’s equipment on social media over the weekend and stated that he was “desperate” awaiting results.
It’s difficult to explain what this gear accomplishes, but it all has to do with reawakening my neuropathic synapses, Eamonn noted.
Slow development, but this place is very dedicated to me. I’m really eager for outcomes.
According to the website for Neurokinex, the company supports neurological activity-based rehabilitation, which stimulates the nervous system by both building new neural connections and strengthening preexisting ones.
Beneath Eamonn’s post, famous faces and fans alike showered him with support, with Carol Vorderman writing: ‘Champ’ and Lucy Alexander adding ‘They can be re-awoken. Go, go, go.’
Other comments from Eamonn’s followers included: ‘Keep going Eamonn, much love’ and ‘Keep going, you’ll get the results.’
Eamonn is now dependent on “a frame, crutches, or a wheelchair to get around” as a result of a catastrophic fall down 18 steps in October of last year and his pre-existing back issues.
The accident came as he was recovering from surgery on his back and the impact on the hard floor of his Surrey mansion caused his shoulder to break.
Eamonn previously told the Daily Mail of the fall: ‘Ruth came rushing down the stairs. She kept saying, “You’re fine, everything’s okay, you’re fine”.
‘I said, “Ruthie, there is a bone sticking out of my shoulder – I’m not fine”.’
After three slipped discs in his back reduced the flexibility in his right leg in early 2021, the star from Belfast was already using a cane.
As his family helped him with daily duties towards the end of that year, Eamonn acknowledged that his health issues had an effect on them.
He told the Sun: ‘I don’t walk — it’s more of a wobble. It has been very difficult this year. My problem is a trapped sciatic nerve, but I don’t even know quite how it initially happened.
‘For months now I haven’t been able to walk, sometimes at all, and it has really taken its toll on everyone around me too.
‘I can’t bend down to pick things up so Ruth ends up having to wait on me, and I know my sons particularly are a bit embarrassed by the way I move around.’
