Supporting our patients in the community is something that we are incredibly passionate about. We relish the challenge of working in different environments and facilities to support our patients to integrate into the community. This could be accessing local leisure facilities, engaging in sport, returning to hobbies or returning to work if they are able.
We will support our patients to engage in as much as possible and sometimes try things that they have never tried before. We believer that these new experiences have an incredibly beneficial effect on overall rehabilitation.
We regularly work with patients in the local gym facilities. We attend the gym with our patients, ensure that they are using the equipment correctly and with correct technique to ensure that no injuries or negative effects are sustained. We provide each patient with a photographed taylor made programme for them to work through with at the gym with family, cares support workers or gym staff once they are competent to do so.
Accessing the outdoors in the daylight and the fresh air is beneficial for both mind and body and so we can support patient to access a wide variety of outdoor spaces, whether it is a walk in the park, rowing on the river seven or a game or tennis we are able to assess the suitability and feasibility of an activity and work with you to make it achievable. We love a challenge and so the more inventive the activity the better.
For clients that are not yet ready to access a gym we also have access to gym facilities that have specially adapted equipment for patients who have difficulty in accessing standard gym equipment or lack the confidence to exercise in public. We will help make to capable and confident to be able to exercise in public spaces to achieve your goals.
