How exciting!
You must watch this fantastic short film from @theCSP & share to increase awareness just how important ongoing rehabilitation is. Excellent NHS Stroke service in Retford for first year post stroke too 😊
What a true inspiration :-)
But there is so much we can do to help you live with Parkinson's and start to get your independence and love of life back
Just read excellent article in today's "Physiotherapy" journal re: Physical activity post-stroke. So many different factors to assess when looking at Physical Activity for rehabilitation. It's not all about just their Physical Ability. Personality, attitudes, cognitive and emotional factors, social and occupational drivers, fear.....the list of multiple complex layers that we consider and build into our intervention and interaction with our Neurological clients goes on.

What a fabulous video for getting the message across about staying active in hospital! Was trying to see if I could spot some familiar faces from several years ago!
Great article in JAMA emphasising shift towards exercise for the treatment of #parkinsonsdisease Contact me for info on the Parkinson's specific exercise we can offer at our clinic in #Retford :-)
Wow - did you watch this documentary last night and tonight? Wouldn't it be great if we can start up something similar in Retford? I can offer all the Physiotherapy in the programme at the clinic, but if 4 years olds can have such a huge positive effect on balance and mobility, memory and mood, surely this is the way to go? And the kids seemed to love the experience too. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/old-peoples-home-for-4-year-olds/on-demand/64374-001
