Learning to walk

"Learning to walk"

About: Edgware Community Hospital / Neurological Rehabilitation Centre

(as the patient),

When I came to the rehab centre, I was unable to walk and had to use a wheelchair. The OT staff gave me the confidence to realise that it wouldn't always be this way, and I was encouraged to do more than I thought was possible. The gym is equipped with good equipment, and I was encouraged to use the walking bars. I also had OTs coming to fetch me from my room and walk with me as part of extra exercise.
