Do you use hobbies as rehab?

We’ve been talking about what hobbies peeps use for rehab on Facebook. Barb reached out and shared her happy place. Barb rides horses for the love of it, and for ongoing rehab. It helps the body and the mind. Call StrokeLine on 1800 787 653 to find out about accessible horse rising near you.

Barb will join the thread too if you have questions.

Steve reached out and wanted to share this video of him talking about getting back on the waves with James.

After a stroke left Steve partially paralysed he didn’t think surfing would be an option, but he’s here to tell you – it is!!

Me none at all , body is badly damaged and cant do a hobby .Atleast I encourage people to take up one , good for your brain to be active .

Hey Gary, 

Do you mean you can't do physical or sport?

You're right - I should be sharing across the board.

Check our Marcus and his photography.

And I love this - I am sharing in the newsletter next week - Luke and his digital music.

And Paul and his digital art.

I was great at knitting before my stroke.  Luckily i can still do it, however i find i have to keep jumping on utube to remember some things that I know were really simple before.  I am good if there are no distractions especially if i am making something that requires counting, however if somebody talks while i am half way through a row it can be very difficult.  Great workout for the brain though.

Fantastic work out for the brain, Russ.

When did you have your stroke?
