Fun and games

I, along with the physio assistants ran the patients’ first ‘wheelchair skills/sports’ class today.  Although it wasn’t quite as structured as I would have liked it to been(!), it was great to see the patients getting really into it, and they loved competing with one another!  I am aiming for the class to happen once a day, led by the physio assistants.  We will then start incorporating other classes into the day to start giving the patients more of a routine and reason to be in their chairs.  Currently, when the patients have nothing to do they tend to return to bed.  Therefore, by providing them with activities and enjoyable ways to increase their rehab time, their abilities and fitness will improve, and they will be kept occupied!

Here are a few pictures of today’s events!
