There is no denying it – we are living in unprecedented times. The coronavirus pandemic has turned lives upside down, prevented people from connecting with friends and family, and for many, it has put plans and goals on hold.
For our stroke-survivor community, we recognise that lockdown has left many feeling increasingly isolated and without the vital support they need. Support groups have been unable to meet and the networks that we once relied on have been harder to access through the new virtual world.
Despite everything, life continues, as do the challenges of life after stroke. That is why, at Different Strokes, we remain dedicated to helping people reclaim their lives during this difficult time.
In response to the pandemic and lockdown restrictions, we have been developed a brand-new range of virtual services to ensure you are still able to access the support that you need from the comfort of home.
In partnership with PhysioFunction and other exercise instructors, we are now delivering online exercise sessions at 11am every weekday morning. Not only are these sessions specifically tailored for stroke survivors, but they are set at five different levels, reflecting the large variations in stroke survivors’ physical condition and mobility post-stroke.
Level 1 sessions will take place LIVE on our Facebook page at 11.00 on Mondays. These sessions are for people who cannot move their affected arm or leg at all. The exercises will ALL be done whilst you are seated in your wheelchair, and there is no standing involved in any exercise. Please note it is a requirement that a carer or family member is available to assist you during the class.
