Resuming Sport
Apart from the pleasure and skill involved with sport it is vital that you keep as active as possible after your stroke. It is important to continue the work done with therapists and build other activities into your routine.
Sporting activities you enjoyed prior to your stroke might seem out of the question but you’d be surprised what you can do if you’re determined enough e.g. one handed golfing, skiing clubs or wheelchair sports. It is possible to adapt equipment for individual use.
Speak to your physiotherapist or your own doctor about what level you should work at and set goals to progress safely and within your capabilities.
Your local council will be able to provide information about swimming clubs, exercise classes, accessible venues or contact Scottish Disability Sport which helps people with disabilities.
