Stroke Survivors address Final Year Physio students.

Today at the invitation of Doctor Simone Dorsch, Senior Lecturer, Australian Catholic University, North Sydney and ,in company with Ms Stephanie Ho \{an inspiring fellow Stroke Survivor\}I had the privilege of relating my stroke journey \{as did Stephanie\} to some 125 Physiotherapy Students via ZOOM conferencing facility.

This is the third consecutive year that Stephanie and I have addressed students about our respective stroke and rehab journey.

The reception from the students was amazing, they were truly engaged, asked many searching questions which resulted in a stimulating conversation.

Questions encompassed a wide variety of topics including our experiences with individual elements of the rehab process, the good and not so good aspects; motivation; goal setting and the importance of a synergistic approach to the rehab process.

As I said to the students the future of physiotherapy as a vocation is well and truly assured with the standard of students that we had the pleasure of talking to today.

In a perverse sort of way this activity is one of the good points of having a stroke!!

Hi BBeh,
It is so good that you and Stephanie get the opportunity to do this.When I started seeing a physio she mentioned that during her training they had only briefly touched on stroke and there was one sentence about stroke in the cerebellum (where my stroke was).
Keep up the great effort

Toni

Dear Toni thank you for your comments- how is your rehab going?

Hi...Like so many others it's an ongoing process :)
